10 Biggest Jobbers In WWE History

By Jack G King / March 23, 2016

Professional wrestling is, at its heart, a story of winners and losers. For every groundbreaking, era-defining figure such as Steve Austin or John Cena, there lies a trail of victims in their wake. Most admittedly have had their moment in the sun - but what about the losers that never win? As some of you might be aware, I've made quite a habit of losing challenges on our official YouTube channel (WhatCulture Wrestling). I know exactly what it means to be a jobber - it's in my Twitter handle for goodness' sake - so who better to guide you through the murky, depressing world of WWE's most desperate losers? Jobbers can take many forms, from the classic Hogan-fodder of the golden era to comedic modern-day superstars, none of whom could ever seem to buy a win. Sometimes unremarkable and generic, sometimes silly to the extreme, these wrestlers are all fine examples of what it means to be a jobber. It's time to give these fallen (or falling) heroes their moment of recognition. Here's to the jobbers; may they continue to lose for our callous, sadistic entertainment.

10. Funaki

Let's kick things off with an Attitude Era classic: Funaki. Shoichi 'Sho' Funaki came to WWE in 1998 as part of the heel Kai En Tai stable (which would eventually become a tag team, as members were gradually released). An experienced worker with both shoot-style and lucha backgrounds, the Tokyo-born superstar may not have predicted a career as a jobber under Vince McMahon. While he may have lost to just about everybody over the turn of the century, Funaki became a beloved figure for his comedic persona, and badly-dubbed yell of "Indeed!" whenever tag partner Taka Michinoku finished a promo. His proudest moment came at Armageddon 2004, where he captured the Cruiserweight Championship from Spike Dudley, countering the Dudley Dog into a pinning predicament.
