10 Most Infamous Wrestling Losing Streaks
Hawkins' run of losses is anything but Curt.
Curt Hawkins performed jobber duties for Jason Jordan on RAW last week. He is the go-to guy for such occasions, the fatalistic (and thus dramatically pointless) approach of which seems to have been lost on WWE officials.
That loss marked the 100th time WWE have gone to their go-to guy. His role is a strange one, in that it benefits absolutely nobody. The fans don't enjoy his short, predictable matches, hence why they play out to funeral silence. Those who beat him don't get anything out of it because he gets beat all the time. Hawkins cannot get much fulfilment from lying on his back for a couple of minutes every night, knowing he is not going anywhere. A low six figure salary is nothing for his monolith of an employer, but still, a local enhancement talent would be far cheaper. That strategy would also allow WWE to scout the landscape - or at least pay things forward.
But no: it's just easier to march Hawkins out to pad out three hours of RAW. He's already in the building. Getting someone cheaper is too much like hard work.
Hawkins, not being of an ethnic descent of any expansive interest to WWE, looks doomed. He's actually in decent company...
10. MVP
Montel Vontavious Porter's five-month losing streak, between August 2008 and January 2009, was the bizarre flashpoint of a slow-burn babyface turn. He wasn't merely jobbed out to the irredeemably awful likes of Kizarny - his signature entrance was stripped away from him to symbolise his descent into the jobber ranks.
The idea behind the streak, apparently, was to position MVP as figure of sympathy - a method completely at odds with his role as an elite, preening athlete. It was conscious sabotage. When he did turn face, he did so with the assistance of Triple H in defeating the Big Show on the January 16 SmackDown!. Essentially, it was the most heelish face turn in history. The arrogance of the character practically necessitated a well though-out and subtle transition. Instead, a man whose entire act was based on his standing as a winner became a loser - and, worse yet, a fluke.
It was the beginning of the end for him, oddly enough.
In reality, MVP had irked the office by sarcastically asking the Wellness Policy drug testing monitor, whose presence he found overbearing, if he "went to medical school for four years just to look at people's d*cks."
