'Iron' Mike Sharpe didn't actually begin his WWF career as a jobber, but as a dangerous heel midcarder on the receiving end of a serious push. 'Canada's Greatest Athlete' used heelish tactics (and the help of manager Lou Albano) to defeat several babyfaces en route to a title shot against WWF Champion Bob Backlund, but lost the match. A favourite move of his was to deliver a sharp blow with a cast on his right arm, an implement thought to be concealing a foreign object. After losing to Backlund, Sharpe became one of the most renowned, beloved jobbers in wrestling history. Primarily a heel, he put over his fellow roster members for over a decade, and even tagged with Hulk Hogan during a tour of Japan - where the Hulkster was regarded as a heel. Sharpe sadly died earlier this year, but will be remembered as one of the most selfless, long-serving members of the WWF locker room.
