Shoutout to Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert, SGT Buddy Lee Parker, Argenis, Famous B, Ricky Landell, Raven's Flock.


How did you list hot stuff in a thread about jabrones?

Thr modern wwf is hot stuff in uwf's whole swag.
Hbk ain't nuffin but bootleg wack hot stuff and scsa's stunna is hot stuff's finisher.
Plus his stable was sting and ultimate before ultimate was ultimate. When both were road warrior scary originally as heels.
All on the much better than the wwf.
Seen on the original uwf.
airing on channell 66.

Tune up match.


Was the word fa use when we was shawty.

Duke ain't have a name. He was just described as part of the match.
Who was going to get that work done to eem.

In what would be termed a squash.

I love the tune up match format for wrasslin builds.
It works better that way.

Wrasslin needs more tuneup matches actually.
Plus more jabrones under bullshyt company hood throwaway gimmicks again too.

Definitely "Bums"

My favorites were Brooklyn Brawler, S.D. Jones (he had his own action figure :lolbron:), Iron Mike Sharpe, Kent & Keith Cole, Cruel Connection, the Conquistadors, Italian Stallion, Rip Rogers, Brady Boone, and Leaping Lanny Poffo. I would always wanna see Poffo win even tho I knew damn well he was gonna lose :mjlit:

Sometimes in WWF back in the day, if a person intended to be a "superstar" didn't get over, they'd get reduced to jobber status too: that happened to Corporal Kirschner, Sivi Afi, Ronnie Garvin, Sam Houston, Danny Davis, Outback Jack, Jim Powers... after a while, you just knew they were losing to whoever they were going against. Then there's Paul Roma- went from jobber, to superstar, back to jobber, back to superstar.

In WCW, I swear I remember Bagwell being a job guy... or at least he was takin' a lot of Ls on his way up. I think he beat Steve Austin one time and it was treated as this big surprise win.

definitely regading Jim Powers...dude turned into a jobber and sat there for a long time. He looked like a million bucks so beating him looked legit. Upper middle card jobber to the stars :heh:

Yeah.. him and Roma, I can see why they put them together. Both of 'em were all look but zero personality. Roma had a lil' more charisma but according to Prichard, it's probably because he was a dikk in real life.

I read a lot of Apter mags as a kid so I called them preliminary wrestlers (prelim bums if I didn't like them).
