Guys who do stuff to their opponent after the match.
Ted DiBiase would stuff a $100 in their mouth. Jake draped Damien over them. Ron Bass choked them with his bullwhip, or in the case of Brutus Beefcake, ripped their head open with spurs. Speaking of Beefcake, he cut their hair. Bossman handcuffed and nightsticked them. Undertaker body bagged them.
Nobody does stuff like that anymore. I understand part of the reason is there aren't jobber squashes to provide victims, but does anybody else miss this? I thought it added to a guy's gimmick, and gave the audience another reason to boo them.

Cody Rhodes had his paper bag gimmick going on for a while. More recently, Big E with the 5 Count. Does Peyton Royce ever win matches? Seems like she should have some flower-based winning taunt.

Sid did the stretcher gimmick leading up to WM 8 also...
Yeah I miss shit like this.
I also miss skits/shows that actually had a set... Not just a guy in the ring with a microphone and a tv or something

Del Rio kept hold of the armbar.
Even if someone did, people would just moan that they are burying the guy who lost.

Not just a guy in the ring with a microphone and a tv or something The stretcher thing was some of the best shit, I loved that as a kid. I'm amazed they haven't brought that back. |

Tyler Breeze and Fandango should take selfies with their beaten, unconscious opponents

God help his opponent if Johnny Knockout ever wins a match. Anybody getting squashed by Johnny Knockout is probably not his type. |

This would kick all sorts of ass, and is one more for the list of reasons why it's awesome to have a few jobber matches each week, but pointless and stupid to make them the sole property of Jax and Strowman. They should mix it up, give everyone the occasional squash victory, and post-match shenanigans would help flesh out some of the less developed gimmicks.
Of course, for that to get heat, the company needs to actually care about consistent presentation of faces and heels, so maybe they need to cross that bridge first.

Those kinds of taunts ended with the Attitude era, I think. Now that WWE is keen to sell everyone on the roster to some extent and is largely going with 50-50 booking, you're not likely to see something like that again because it greatly diminishes the victim's stock as a bankable character. With the recent introduction of enhancement talent to put over Superstars, however, it's possible that such taunts will become more commonplace in future.

That's why playing as Umaga in the games he was in or playing as the Wyatts as a group is fun now, because post-match you'd hit a finisher on them.
