Here's a fun idea: Second Generation Jobbers.

[Blade]

Ok, so WWE seem to be making a big deal about 2nd and 3rd generation superstars these days. Ted Dibiase and Cody Rhodes are destined to become big because Main eventing and winning titles pumps through their veins.
But what about 2nd and 3rd generation superstars that have.... Jobbing pumping through their veins?

Here's my idea... Build a generational stable from the sons of jobbers. Get the kids of the Brooklyn Brawler, Al Snow, Barry Horowitz, Virgil etc. and get them into a stable. Then make them have a fun little feud with Legacy or the next generational stable that comes along. That would be pretty entertaining, and it would make hardcore fans mark out a bit, to see the sons of the legendary jobbers.

This isn't supposed to be a big serious idea, just trying to bring some fun to the WWE section. So how would you book the feud? And which jobbers' kids would you like to see involved?

You'd have to include the kids of such famed talent enhancement guys as Hardcore Holly and Val Venis, no? They were never classified as jobbers, but they were, and they did a damn fine job of it. Al Snow's kid would be another easy choice. He was the quintessential jobber, and I'm sure if he had a kid in wrestling, they'd fit the bill well.

They'd need a catchy name...They can't use The J.O.B. Squad...

LOL I love this idea and it would be great to see a 2nd generation job squad and a Money Inc 2.0 feud would be fun and fresh to see. The new job squad could be like their little dorks that they can pick on and beat up on from time to time!

I kind of like the build up stories…


One by one the son’s of Jobbers work their way back into the WWE (let’s say a max of 5) with very little fanfare. The commentators may make a comment about who they are, but no big deal is made and they get little fanfare.

In their initial match they individually get destroyed.
Seemingly having no talent what so ever.
As time passes on, each week following they get destroyed.
The Commentator makes a comment why are they even here…
They are made fun of/ pranked / etc by the other wrestlers on a weekly basis.

At the same time over the course of a several weeks the GM is contacted and seen speaking on the phone secretively or receives messages….so that we know something is going on..but we have no idea who he’s talking to.

Finally one week the GM says that he’s going to give the champions (heels and faces ) a night off and allow each of them to pick which one of the jobbers they want to beat down as a practice match with the little formality that their titles are on the line…

(Just like in the old days, even though you KNEW there was no way the Champion was going to lose)

However in this case, in each match the jobbers wrestles to their actual ability which catch the champions off-guard…and as the match goes on each jobber has two more jobbers that make their way to ringside.

The combination of the three with a little cheating allows them to steal the match and the title. This would happen for the US Title and Tag Team Titles.

The Champs are livid and go to the GM…but the GM says what can I do, you picked them as your opponent.

Last match is the championship match for the big belt. If the champion is a heel, then the other heel champion that lost his belt will not only warn the champion of what’s going on with these jobbers, but will also say that he’s got his back.. (the same would be done if it was a face)

Right before the match, we see back stage the GM call the “back-up” into his office as he’s on his way out with the Champion. The Champion continues to head out to the ring. The next thing we see his a huge forearm with cast clock the wrestler on the head and he’s out cold.

The mystery figure… who we do not get to see, shakes hands with the GM…and the GM says good luck. (this would work great with Teddy Long since he’s on the outs with Vince )

The Champion is in the ring and out comes his opponent along with the other jobbers holding their belts at ringside. Champ holds his own…until the mystery figure, black trench and mask makes his way to the ring …

Champion gets distracted. Jobber goes for cheap shot and roll up, doesn’t get the three count.

The other jobbers jump on the apron to distract the Ref.
Mystery guy comes up on the apron
Champion grabs him by the jacket and goes to remove the mask
Mystery person clocks him with a forearm…and the Champion is out..

Jobber covers and wins the Heavyweight Belt..

Mystery guy takes off is coat and we see he’s wearing a three piece suit but with a thick heavy cast on his forearm.

He takes off his mask and it’s Iron Mike Sharpe (King of the Jobbers)

Remember the time period in which he wore that cast on his forearm. .I think that was the period, he was most successful in actually winning a match or two. Therefore he should use it now.

He would cut a short promo: on how things in this business hasn’t changed….20 years and nothing’s different….it isn’t the most skilled or talented that get the breaks..not the ones who have to work hard and train….it’s the ones who are deemed most marketable , those who looked good on camera …he would say how for 20 years, while he was away from wreslting…all he could think about is how he gave this business everything..all the sacrfices for other people to step over him. …..all he was known for was jobbing…

Night after night .week after week..year after year…

People used to laugh at Iron Mike Sharpe…

He then raises the hands of his men with their belts

And says …….so who’s laughing NOW…

The original idea of this thread is actually theoretically pretty good. The less said about making Iron Mike Sharpe the WWE Champion the better, to be honest. I say theoretically, because as far as I am aware none of those wrestlers have wrestling sons, probably because the careers of their fathers were uninspiring. There's no point in making fake sons, because it wouldn't be worth the effort. So basucally, unless Barry Horowitz has a son already wrestling, there's no point.

Something nobody is taking note of here is that one of the biggest names in the WWE kind of is the son of a famous WWE jobber: "Cowboy" Bob Orton, Jr.

While Orton, Jr., was never a jobber of the legendary proportions as Barry Horowitz or The Conquistadors, he was still, unquestionably, an "enhancement" talent. Fairly early in his career he saw a fair amount of success in NWA, going so far as to win the World Tag titles with Don Kernodle, but after that he was usually just a lackey -- first to Roddy Piper during his infamous "Piper's Pit" days and later "Adorable" Adrian Adonis during his "Flower Shop" stint. Much of that time, he used a cast on his arm, not too far removed from the black leather arm brace used by "Iron" Mike Sharpe.

Regardless, by most WWF standards, he was a mid-card jobber at best. His brother Barry O was a jobber on-par with Horowitz, etc., though. That makes Randy Orton the closest thing to a jobber's son on the roster. Of course, it's obvious that the jobbing genes skipped him. The man is arguably one of the three biggest stars in WWE today.

An interesting possible storyline is a son coming out, being billed as the song of a jobber, insert whoever you want for the father, and he has one purpose, to avenge his family name against his pitiful father. He could run down his dads career, and in the mean time, defeat some enhancement talent on the way until finally his dad comes out to defend himself. The son could go over convincingly, and drop the gimmick for the most part, giving a boost to himself to start out his career.
