Um... I think you're mixing up being a jobber and you personally not liking someone. lol this. A jobber is not someone who held numerous major titles, like a few guys on his list.

Ah, I remember the old days of WWF house shows in the 80's when it seemed like every show would start off with two jobbers wrestling to 15-20 minute draws. From a certain standpoint, they were usually the most entertaining matches on the card. You didn't know who was going to win, mainly because both guys rarely won any type of match. Plus, the guys had an actual personality! Gorilla Monsoon would also build it up as if it were a match with something on the line. (I always imagined if you won these kind of matches, you got the right to lose to a huge star on Superstars.) But, if pressed for an answer, you couldn't call yourself a fan from 1985 if you didn't see Terry Gibbs or Barry O at least one per show. As for the NWA, I could go 17 lifetimes without seeing Rocky King's 120-pound skinny ass getting pummeled. (I think his side job was doubling as the ring post.) Gorilla: "This could be a main event anywhere in the country!"

I went to a house show that opened with a near 20 minute Scott Casey vs. Iron Mike Sharpe match, and you're absolutely right. I can barely remember anything else about the show, but that match was awesome. Mike Sharpe, when he was allowed to really ham it up, was tremendously entertaining (and loud). To answer the original question, I'll go with Tiger Ali Singh. He was like a less athletic, less charismatic Jinder Mahal, got a blatant rip-off Million Dollar Man gimmick that he couldn't pull off, and tried a stint as a manager before he was finally taken off TV.

Terry Gibbs I remember well, he was a top jobber who would regularly used against talent they're establishing to help make them looks good. He was fed to the Ultimate Warrior early in his run to make sure Warrior looked like the beast they wanted him to be. Gibbs was a true pro. My Terry Gibbs moment was he was the guy they fed to Hillbilly Jim for his WWF debut. Hulk Hogan was in Jim's corner. I must have watched that match 100 times, my mom was a fan.
