10 Wrestling Jobbers So BIZARRE They Feel Made Up
9. Road Block
Nah, they were far too busy promoting human beings as road markings instead.
That is not a joke. Just feast your eyes on the screenshot above! There's big Block carrying some roadside construction equipment to the ring. He also had, "DEAD END" in capital letters emblazoned across his yellow ring attire. The premise was simple: There was no getting past this Road Block/Roadblock.
Except their bloody was, obviously. He was as jobberific a jobber as you're ever likely to see. Between 1996-1998, big Blocker worked no less than 39 matches for World Championship Wrestling. Most of them took place on shows like Saturday Night, Main Event and Pro, but he did score a few bouts on higher profile programming such as Nitro and Thunder here or there.
Of course, unless he was out there sharing screen time with another enhancement guy, RB didn't grab many wins worth shouting about. Beating a young Lash LeRoux and pre-Natural Born Thrillers leader Mike Sanders was nothing to brag to your mates down the pub about, put it that way. Not that Road Block had friends - he had colleagues. Hard working fella, don't you know?
It was certainly bold to portray someone as literal roadside equipment. He was there to ward off traffic so that workers could get on with relaying the roads and fixing things up. Apparently, staring at the brighter lights on Thunder and Saturday Night for everyone from Jim Neidhart and Jim Duggan to DDP and Barry Darsow was also part of his remit.
Thank the lord they didn't call him Man Hole instead.
