10 WWE Jobbers Who Became Wrestling GAME-CHANGERS

6. Matt Jackson

You've surely forgotten this (or are learning about it for the very first time), but Matt Jackson did the job for Big Show in a 'Last Man Standing' match on the 17 October 2008 edition of SmackDown. Before that, Matt also lost to Chuck Palumbo on the 22 February '08 episode. He counts both bouts as amongst the greatest of his sparkling career.

OK, not really. Obviously.

Back then, Jackson was just another enhancement worker who was scared to death of powerhouses like Palumbo and giants like Show. He was written as the kind of guy who'd just bagged groceries down at the local supermarket all day before pulling on some boots and almost being chokeslammed out of them by Paul Wight.

Years later, they'd shake hands backstage at AEW as peers. If anything, the incoming Wight wanted to stay in the good graces of Jackson, because he held/holds a lot of sway behind the curtain in All Elite. It's funny how things work out, huh? No-one could've guessed that this long-haired Hardy Boy wannabe would go on to revolutionise the tag-team game with his brother Nick as The Young Bucks.

They're still going strong today, but it was that blistering Bullet Club rise in New Japan post-WWE and TNA that really made The Bucks worth paying attention to.

Side note: Nick has also appeared in WWE alongside his bro as a DX parody, but that was similarly short-lived and didn't lead to contracts. Triple H fancied signing them up in 2018, but the rules had changed. The Jacksons (not those Jacksons) were printing cash by then.
