It would depend on what roll they had. The guys who you'll remember will probably get a decent pay day and regular work, but the no-name local guys probably just got like $100 for the night and never seen again.


WWE still do it today. Every TV show they do they'll have a group of local indy guys on standby for use on the show. Usually it's not to do matches, but to play security guards that get roughed up or backstage guys who get tossed about by a monster. It's far easier using wrestlers for stuff like that than doing anything else. Not sure what they pay now, but most guys will probably do it for the experience more than anything.

There are some fun bits of WWE where you have things like Sheamus and Barrette as security guards before they were signed. The Hardy Boyz and door openers for entrance.

no one has mentioned The Duke Of Dorchester yet?
come on man. He was a mainstay jobber. Especially at the old Boston Garden. I swear he was drunk every time I saw him

I met him once. Took a picture with him. Just a typical South Boston nut.

And CM Punk holding a tommy gun during Cena's chicago WM entrance.

DDP drove a pink Cadillac to the ring for HTM I think if I am not mistaken.

You never know one of those guys Brock/Braun were tossing around could be the next Austin

I remember B Brian Blair was a complete jobber.

I was shocked when they brought him back as a member of The Killer Bees.

Jessee Ventura in an interview segment said to him you career up to now consisted of your lying on your back and you could see that Blair was upset by this comment. I just could never take Blair as a legit competitor after his playing the scrub. Iron Sheik has had some funny moments w him too.

Break his back and make him humble!!!

Also I just want to say I love your user name. The man who only ate Spaghetti-O's, what a character he was!

Yep! DDP was the driver of the pink Cadillac during Rhythm & Blues' (the short-lived tag team of Honky Tonk Man & Greg Valentine) WrestleMania 6 ring entrance.

Frankie Williams

that line at the end is great

I'm not sure if Victor Mercado ever won a WWF match.

It was Dallas's car which is why he got to do it.

Jim Powers for me. I remember a competitive match he had with Michaels on VHS which was pretty great.

 

[Oil Dude]

Jim Powers for me. I remember a competitive match he had with Michaels on VHS which was pretty great.

Powers was in that small group of underneith guys that you think might win a match or two (Paul Roma and Lanny Poffo were also in that group) but yet I don't recall them ever beating anyone signifigant , except Roma did rise up a little and his tag team with Hercules was actually pretty decent but it was hard to buy him as anything that could win a big match.

 

[Ozz]

Powers, Leapin' Lanny, etc. were what they call "jobbers to the stars". Some were more prolific than others through the years, but they were a level above pure jobbers that they seemed to select from the bus station each morning.
