Ah, the immortal Rudy Diamond . . . this would be your typical old school "job match" or "squash match". I remember all those guys: Israel Matia, Frankie Williams, Charlie Fulton, Pete Doherty, Lee Wong, Johnny Rodz, Ron Shaw, Mike Pappas, Dr. Beach, Rujack Woods, Jeff Craney, Tomas Marin, Luis Torres, Steve King, Angelo Gomez, Jim Lancaster, Silvano Sousa, Juan Caruso, Vicente Pometti, Jose Estrada, Victor Mercado . . . too many to count, and jobbers all.

Nothing beats Rudy Diamond wearing a Paula shirt against "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff and watching him get pile drived twice!

Sorry Srd1126, I've looked and cannot find it. The memory of Rudy being demolished by PAULA brings tears to my eyes. Tears of laughter that is!!

@amishninja406 Is that one online? I love Vince on Rudy here: "working his way up the ranks." From what? Total jobber to almost-total jobber??

@elc1960 then they became enhancement talent....

@elc1960 Don't forget about Danny Davis,too. Mr. Perfect Kurt Henning(RIP) and Eddie Gilbert(RIP) were also jobbers for The Wild Samoans and other most hated tag teams.

@elc1960 Don't even forget about Steve Lombardi(aka the Brooklyn Brawler) and Danny Davis. Mr. Perfect Kurt Henning(RIP) and Eddie Gilbert(RIP) were jobbers,too.

@oldschoolbx1970 Mario Mancini - indeed another true jobber. And don't forget, Mick Foley started out jobbing on WWF TV in the late '80s as well (as "Jack" Foley). I admit, most of the guys I named were from the '70s and the guys I grew up watching get their brains beat out on "Championship Wrestling" and "All Star Wrestling" on a weekly basis. Also Rocky Tomayo, Frank "Moose" Munro, "Spaceman" Frank Hickey, Davey O'Hannon, Tito Torres . . . I could go on all day, but I think I'll stop here.

@elc1960 Oh,shit! My Bad. I forgot to mention Mario Mancinni. He was also another jobber for Bundy,Studd,Valentine,Beefcake­,Volkoff,Sheik,and other most hated WWF Superstars during that time period.

@oldschoolbx1970 Roma, Powers, Poffo, Rivera and Jones were in a sub-group of lower mid-carders, in that they beat all the other jobbers but lost to the upper mid-carders and above, so they didn't always job (just MOST of the time - LOL). Others in that class were El Olympico, Jose Gonzalez (better known as Bruiser Brody's murderer), Salvatore Bellomo, Pretty Boy Larry Sharpe & Iron Mike Sharpe. The other 4 you mentioned were indeed jobbers. Thanks for reminding me of Jerry O.
