Well a big debate took place over the weekend on the HJB board about jobbing and such resulting in one fucking genius comparing Rocker jobbing on tv to Jerry Lawler losing twice to Danny B. on a local show........Jesus Christ people there is a HUGE difference between JOBBING and PUTTING SOMEONE OVER. Let's look at the differences. First off, "jobbing" doesn't just mean "losing", in some circles it does as you'll read the Dave Meltzer's and Wade Keller's on the internet saying that "Hunter did the 'job' for Batista", jobbing is what they refer to as a "squash". Jobs or Squashs are matches where one opponent gets NO HEAT whatsoever. They may throw a stray punch here or there but the sole purpose of the match is to put over the "Star", it might as well be a sack of patatos in the ring. 'Jobbers' are simply in there to let the star show off his moves and get some wins leading to whatever match or angle the star is building to. Now I'm not gonna knock Rocker(I haven't seen any of the matches to even know if they qualify as a "job") or anyone else for doing jobs on tv cause tv exposure is a big deal in the business and half the guys who are knocking him would give Corey Maclin head in the middle of the ring just to say they've been on Memphis tv........BUT, the one person does have a point. If your one of the local fans who generally watch every bit of wrestling they possibly can, how does it make the local guy look if someone who was a seventy year old midget's(Bill Dundee) bitch this morning on tv, comes to the local Armory and beats(or even nearly) beats the guy you've been building as one of your "top guys". It makes both guys look weak.
Now on the other hand, the guy who tried to say that Lawler losing to Danny B. was the same thing is obviously fucking retarded. How can you possibly say that?? If Lawler(a wrestling legend) comes to Selmer(or wherever) and beats Danny B., then people say, "well Danny B. is good against these local guys, but he can't hang with a big time star." Who wins there? It doesn't give Lawler bragging rights, it's not like he's gonna announce on Raw that he beat Danny B. Good. But if Danny B. wins, it is a HUGE moment for both him and the promoter, cause now they can use that from now on, anybody who goes over on Danny in the future is beating a guy who beat a legend, therefore that win isn't only putting over Danny but everyone he works with afterward. And how is Lawler effected? Again, it's not mentioned on Raw, it won't be on the cover of PWI, just a handful of fans in a certain area know. Everyone wins, that is what is called DOING THE RIGHT THING! I highly commend Lawler for doing that cause he certainly didn't have to, and doesn't have a track record of doing it very often so it says a lot to promoters about Danny, and the show itself that he's willing to come there and do that.
So people if your gonna be critical and talk shit, at least have half a damn clue what your talking about.
