I recently started following a wrestling blog called “Motel Wrestler” — primarily because of a recurring series he posts called “Jobber of the Day.” Once every few days, the blogger provides a link to a one-sided match he enjoyed on YouTube and writes a few sentences about the jobber who degraded himself in order to make another wrestler seem powerful.
Here are some images from the Jobber of the Day featured on 12/26/15: Brian Collins. Collins is the meaty dude with the darker hair and porn-stache. His partner Danny Davis with the spiky blond hair also served as the jobber many times in his career, but not today. Today is all about Collins in peril.
The Heels for this squash match are the Texas Hangmen — two big sadistic brutes in matching red masks and black bodysuits. They enter the ring in studded hoods carrying thick nooses to choke their victims — really kinky S&M stuff.
Check out Collins in those gorgeous white tights under yellow trucks. What a fuckin jobber — the PERFECT outfit to suffer in!
Collins is broken like firewood over the top rope.
Chubby, soft-bellied Brian Collins is no match for these ruthless killers. He puts up zero offense as they beat him down, pillar to post.
You can see some of their bullshit Double Team moves in these images, such as this sweet Spine Buster off the middle rope!
How about some boots to the breadbasket, jobber?
Despite the domination of the Hangmen, the blogger from Motel Wrestler is always more interested in the jobber. As a fellow jobber lover, I can certainly relate to that. Here is what he wrote about Collins:
“The Texas Hangmen destroy the team of “Nightmare” Danny Davis and Brian Collins. Or, rather I should say, they destroyed Brian Collins.”
Usually in a Tag Team Squash match, it’s customary to let the second jobber tag in and take some abuse himself. Not in this match. The Hangmen are having so much fun fucking with Collins, they trap him and keep him in their torture chamber for the entire match. You KNOW you’re a pathetic jobber when your jobber partner doesn’t even participate in the match at all!
The Hangmen pull out all their dirty tricks, double-teaming frequently, choking Collins with their noose behind the ref’s back, picking the bitch up from a pin on the count of two (a few times). It really is a hot match if you’re into one-sided Tag Team jobber squashes.
And Collins is the image of vulnerability in his snow-white tights and yellow trunks.
Does it really require both of you to destroy this wimp?!
Obviously the outcome of the match is no surprise — the Hangmen demolish Collins and eventually pin him. But in a match like this, the fun is in the journey, not the destination. We tune in to be awed by the cruel moves and apparently brutality unleashed by the Heels, and to be entertained by the jobber’s helplessness and willingness to be harmed.
Collins did a fine job enhancing the talent in the ring with him, from his wardrobe choices, to his utter lack of offense, to his willingness to be humiliated on for our viewing pleasure. He was a great selection for Jobber of the Day.
