The most obscure WCW jobbers I could think up were Wayne Bloom and Mike Enos.

There's more of T.Rantula on Youtbe. He seemed to have had a career on the indies.

T. Rantula would be a star in the WWE today.

Before Nathan Jones came along the most famous Australian wrestler was a guy called Ashley Hudson who was a WCW jobber but eventually managed to earn himself a 2-3 week role as "Ozzie" the boyfriend of Daffney that she met in Australia. He's MY favourite random WCW jobber. Ah yes, part of the "Crowbar loves Daffney but is inept in telling her" angle, which led to "Daffney loves Crowbar but he doesn't notice" angle...and then Daffney got released before anything concluded.

that's obviously Lorenzo Yeah, but whose side is he on? Lorenzo's not on any side. Because no one's on Lorenzo's side

Lorenzo left an oil streak on the mat after Finley kicked his ass.

I remember before that angle him and another WCW jobber named Kory Williams teamed up in the Mid South area as the New South. It was a mind trip seeing a black guy dressed as a Confederate solider (Williams) and praising the Confederacy.

Marty Jannetty. He had a stint as a WCW jobber to the stars during the period that they were signing up any and all WWF names and slapping an NWO shirt on them. It makes me wonder to this day, how bad does your reputation have to be for you to be a former WWF title holder and not get any real sort of push in WCW?

Eh, Jannetty appearing in WCW wasn't that random to me. Jannetty in ECW for the short time he was there, on the other hand...

The fact he received no fanfare, no repackaging and no push made it seem random to me. They were happily milking anyone of value from Crush to Virgil, but former IC/Tag Champion Marty was just there.

Came in expecting to see some obscure jobber that I would be familiar with but honestly I've never heard of Lorenzo. Before Nathan Jones came along the most famous Australian wrestler was a guy called Ashley Hudson who was a WCW jobber but eventually managed to earn himself a 2-3 week role as "Ozzie" the boyfriend of Daffney that she met in Australia. He's MY favourite random WCW jobber. I'd have to say that the Fabulous Kangaroos, Bill Dundee, Outback Jack and Jonathan Boyd were all a hell of a lot more famous than him.

Hell no! Stallion was a jobber icon in NWA/WCW, like Tommy Angel.

I believe he debuted the same night as Rick Martel. It definetly confused me that they gave one a pretty significant push, and apparently immediatley lost interest in the other. If nothing else, you'd think Jannetty could have been a good edition to the cruiser weight division.

Wasn't aware that the Fabulous Kangaroos were actually Australian but one is so I guess they count. I always thought Outback Jack was a Kiwi but turns out he's Australian as well. Bill Dundee was born in Scotland and just simply grew up here so you can't really count him and Jonathan Boyd I know nothing of but he's apparently Australian as well. Regardless, Hudson was our only "TV guy" during the 90's unless you count Mark Mercedes and his 2-3 mid 1990's WCW appearances which I don't.

Okay then, if you're not counting Bill Dundee's being raised in Australia, spending decades there and starting wrestling there as him being Australian because only being born there counts... he was there long enough that his son Jamie WAS born there. So if being born there is all that matters, JC Ice is Australian.

I love that you guys are debating the comparative fame of Australian wrestlers. I love that that's a thing that exists.
Anyway, I was a big fan of Zan Panzer. Also, "Cuba's Top Gun". I know that guy had runs in smaller promotions, but what's up with that name?
