3. Jobber
The term "jobber" used to mean something solid in wrestling. Enhancement talent like Barry Horowitz, "Iron" Mike Sharpe, The Brooklyn Brawler, "Pistol" Pez Whatley and others were solid workers, but their duties were to face the bigger names on their company's rosters and make them look great. They lost, and they lost all the time. A lot of their matches weren't even really close. Now, "jobber" means something else entirely, thanks to the overall impatience of wrestling fans. If someone loses a couple matches in a row, even if they were hard-fought, competitive matches, they're viewed as "jobbers". In recent months, we've all seen Cesaro, Dolph Ziggler, The Wyatt Family, and Jack Swagger get the dreaded label simply because they aren't winning every week. The people who throw the term around all willy-nilly seem to forget that matches feature winners and losers. Not everyone can win every single match. That means there always has to be someone who is losing, unless it's nWo-era WCW, where damn near every match seemed to end in a No Contest thanks to heavy interference. Cesaro is not a "jobber". Dolph, Swagger, and The Wyatts aren't, either. The closest thing WWE even has to that type of wrestler anymore would be someone like Zack Ryder or Damien Sandow. Have some patience, understand that people will always lose matches, and you'll know that "jobbers" don't really exist much these days, if at all. When someone becomes a "jobber", you'll definitely know it.
