It gets old until one finally wins. My guess is maybe the other TE2 winner will end up being "unknown" and being the person who wins the Angle Invitational. I think the Masterlock & Morgan ones will be like The White Boy Challenge and move onto real superstars

I still don't know why somebody doesn't just kick Masters in the balls while in the Masterlock... With that said, I'm off to watch Smackdown.

It's great for the newer wrestlers they are pushing and Bob Holly as WWE won't care if the jobbers get hurt.

It's good to have the occassional squash match. It helps gets someone's finisher over...

I think it's bad. The reason why they stopped putting squash matches on TV was when WCW started winning the ratings war, and both promotions had to put on the best possible matchups to attract viewers. No that there's no competition, they don't have to do that anymore. To me, there is nothing exciting about Chris Masters making a jobber submit. Come to think of it, there's nothing exciting about Chris Masters, period.

I like the idea of bringing back jobbers in the context of improving PPV buyrates, but I'm not buying PPVs so nuts to that. Keep those jobbers off my TV.

Did you see Kurt Angle beating the he!! out of that guy on Smackdown! That one forearm shot to the side of that kid's head was STIFF!
I have a place in my heart for squash matches...

Squash matches are what I grew up watching. At the time I remember always thinking it sucked that the Honky Tonk Man or Ravishing Rick Rude were fighting some nameless jobber, but now that they're gone, I kind of miss them.

It's pretty useless having Chris Masters go out there and put someone in a hold and waste time on Raw. I would at least like him to wrestle a match.

I'm also in favor of non-Main-Event-track Main Event matches on RAW and SD. Like Rey vs. Chavo tonight. It furthered the angle between Eddie and Rey and wasn't the usual deja-vu spot of Main Heel vs. Main Face.

In the time they show some over pushed knuckle head squash an unknown and some boring segments, we could be watching two great wrestlers give a five star match. If they want to do the jobber bit, save if for Velocity or something. Leave Smackdown and RAW for the entertaining stuff. Like what WCW did with Nitro and Saturday Night. That was cool.

I actually liked WCW Saturday night, and the Power Plant. Sometimes it sucked , but other time you would see some Great Mid Card matches. I would also be for a family oriented Saturday afternoon show with just Gimmick Wrestlers, I would enjoy watching just cheesy gimmicks, like I believe WM 18 Gimmick Battle Royal, but I love to see up and commers. I think that the Safe Style is slowly moving away since TNA's PPV kick WWE's ass in quality.

ya theyve, been using jobber's for month's now...
which, they shoud (but they shoud do a couple more squash's, esp w/ lower card & midcarder's going over)...
wwe should also be using, jobber's too put new guy's over...mnm, carlito, snitsky, hendenrech coud all get over ALOT beter w/a couple squash's here & there (put em on heat or velocity if you have too)
having jobber's too squash mean's, you dont have too make dumbing booking mistake's like having big dave DESTROY randy & completely waste all the month's of buildup for randys title push....
