I can see the argument if it was about the Big Show or Kane, they lost their lusture because they were always there and the same is happening with Omos because a 7'4 person is no longer impressive when they're there all the time and loving suck at wrestling. But there's a difference between giants/freakshows and one of the best wrestlers in the world or a guy that everyone was begging to come back for 7 years. Plus Danielson and Punk have spoken at length about how they want to work with different talents and elevate them.

None of the people Punk has wrestled are jobbers except maybe QT.


Darby is one of the 4 pillars and has beaten a lot of top people

Hobbs is a planet destroyer who is booked like Wardlow except he (sadly) doesn't get enough in-ring time on TV

Bobby Fish is an awesome wrestler with a great reputation and who was immediately pushed into the upper card with top talent after he debuted

Daniel Garcia is not a jobber

Matt Sydal is not a jobber

Eddie Kingston. He loses a lot but that's his thing. He's a 20 year veteran who is absolutely not a jobber

QT is a jobber. OK fine

Lee Moriarty is not a jobber. He's an amazing talent and just because he's new to the company and isn't in the main event scene doesn't make him "lesser". Also Punk made him look like a million bucks which is exactly what Punk is trying to do with his current run


Now he's in a program with MJF who is another one of the 4 pillars and has beaten a bunch of top people including Jericho

If there's one attitude I wish would die in wrestling, it's the idea that wrestlers of certain Tiers should never, ever, EVER be in the same room together or it somehow ruins. These people are so loving ANGRY that CM Punk is having a match against Lee Moriarty because "MAIN EVENTERS SHOULDN'T EVER WRESTLE JOBBERS EVER" and it's exhausting

It's like they see WWE doing the same match on loop for 19 loving months in a row because they have this extremely rigid system where there's like, 4 or 5 people who are "The Good Wrestlers" and everyone else and they can only ever wrestle each other and if any other wrestler on the planet so much as hits an irish whip on them they're BURIED FOREVER FOR SELLING TO A loving JOBBER and have decided that's just how Wrestling Is Supposed To be

On Jobbers vs. Main Eventers -

It's something I hate the WWE refuses to do - and a big part of why they have so many rematches.

And when WWE does do it? It's usually really fun.

John Cena's whole US title run was basically this - he's fighting people well below his pay grade in competitive matches. Even if they're not going to win, it tells a fun story. They make you believe. And if it ever did happen? Instant star moment.

Then we got the aspect of when they did have B shows, having a Main Event or Upper Mid Card on there made the show more watchable. The AEW Dark effect is basically this - Adam Cole or Bryan Danielson is there to get you to watch it, and maybe notice the other people there.

I'm a dork, but I liked seeing oddball matches on the old C-shows like Jakked/Heat/Shotgun whatever even if it's obvious the bigger star was going to win. Clicking around Cagematch you got dumbshit like:

Triple H & X-Pac vs. DOA on Shotgun March 99
Triple H vs. Maven for the WHC on Heat in 2003
Edge vs. DDP on Heat in November 2001(poor DDP)
Chris Jericho vs. Stevie Richards, Heat August 2004
Chris Benoit vs. William Regal, May 2006 Velocity

Then there's stuff like Triple H vs. Taka Michinoku in 2000, which had a fun story of Hunter almost getting his comeuppance.

Although I do wonder if it's partially an issue of WWE fans being so poisoned that predictability is somehow inherently bad.

Which part is racist?

My read is this dumbass thinks brandi set the table on fire so Cody would hurt himself, which is in a way kind of understandable I guess since he did take the brunt of the bump himself because it was pretty poorly laid out but very obviously not the story they were telling.

Considering there was no reason to think Brandi is cheating on Cody with Andrade that person only thought they were because Andrade is Mexican. Not to mention the other weirdo who said Andrade was a cartel member due to being Mexican.

All of the guys you mentioned, except for Darby, are basically mid-card acts right now. When you're brain-poisoned by WWE who has forgotten how to build a mid-card in the past 20 years, anyone who isn't a main event wrestler is apparently a jobber. The reason Garcia, Sydal, Fish, Moriarty, etc. all got to look good against Punk and be believable is because they've been built up as solid mid-card wrestlers who are threats but not quite main event guys right now. So it still means something when you beat them, and they can be jumped up the card at any point because they're realistic threats.

The cartel thing, yes. I think it's a bit of a stretch to think they're implying Brandi is cheating on Cody with Andrade because Andrade is Mexican. Like, that's an insane leap in logic. If she did the same thing with Malakai or PAC in Andrade's shoes, they probably would have thought the same braindead thing because they are, in fact, braindead.

Their post makes absolutely no mention of Andrade being Mexican, this is one gigantic leap of logic my guy. You could infer from the same post that they think Brandi is cheating with him because he doesn’t have a stupid neck tattoo like her husband, or because his mask is much nicer than Cody’s Fuego 2 mask, or literally anything you want.

The other idiot with the cartel thing is very clearly racist, though, you are correct.

One of my favorite Undertaker matches was him main-eventing Smackdown against Festus, the hot-tag heavy of a midcard comedy tag team.

A lot of those people, and also people like the guy who made that tweet, have amazingly soul-crushing lovely-rear end jobs that they hate and therefore everyone else has to be just as miserable as they are so they say poo poo like that.

I explained it to my wife is that if somebody consistently enters the ring by just kind of popping in without any theme music or acknowledgment until the ring announcer says their name, they're a jobber. it's been a pretty reliable distinguisher to this point.

This is similar to a take I saw recently, where someone said that AEW's existence "splits the ratings" so a wrestling program can't be #1 anymore, and AEW should fold so WWE can have all the wrestling ratings for the good of the wrestling industry.

I asked if he's ever considered watching both since they're mostly not on at the same time, and he blocked me because of course he did. :laugh:

I'm sure lockerroom morale is really high right now after the layoffs and Xavier wanting to just do Golden Girls conventions and play Video Games and Owens, Zayn, and OReilly likely leaving soon. Amazing harmony.

To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Those aren't even considered the best womens matches of those participants in WWE so it isnt even a WWE superior argument its just wrong.
