Either "bums" or "scrubs".

If it's a local wrestler I would call them "nobodies."
If it was a Funaki or Val Venis, I'd call them Funaki or Val Venis.

Amateurs - I guess because the other guys were "professional" wrestlers. I've no idea who came up with that label, it was just what everyone called them. We didn't know about any wrestling beyond WWF or WCW, so it wasn't a reference to amateur wrestling itself.

Nothing. I would just sit back and enjoy the Barbarian utterly kill Sonny Blaze or some other victim.

I also went with "No Names". Then "Losers" since they never won a match. Later on though I referred to them as "Stand-By Wrestlers" when WCW explained to me that they had guys standing by in case someone couldn't wrestle. This was used to explain why some jobber replaced a no-showing Randy Savage in a match. I imagined both WWF and WCW locker rooms with the jobbers of the world sitting around in a corner going "Any day now they'll call me out there....Any day now...."

I miss when you'd have two contracted jobbers wrestle on prime time for 20 minutes and there was all this tension
Like Iron Mike Sharpe vs Jim Powers.
"Any move can win! They don't have finishers!"

I also called them "Ham and Eggers" (some announcer must have called them that) until Mark Mero called Salvatore Sincere a JOBBER to his face. At that very moment, my love of Jobbers was cemented in legend.

I was smartened up at a young age so I always used the respectful term of carpenter.

I'm old enough that my youth viewing was in the territory days, so you didn't get the same jobber every week a la WWE. My brothers and I came up with the generic name "John Pork" to call random jobbers.

Either "bums" or "scrubs". All jobbers entrances should be the theme to Scrubs

My buddy came up with the generic name 'Johnny Asshole' so, yeah, that.
