But a jobber

[@RobwLPOC]

@@robbyx6846 I think it got taken off KZbin but there used to be a great video that explained what a jobber actually was. The term is nearly always misused due to misconception of what the person losing is doing and history of the people you saw losing on television. Al snow was not a jobber, he was a professional wrestler. His profession that he earned a living doing and was his primary source of income was wrestling for a company and get beat by wrestlers that company wanted enhance the popular of to get those wrestlers over. Al Snow worked as an enhancement Talent. Professional wrestling at least televised in the United States has not actually had a jobber on it for probably about 25 years. A "Jobber" was someone who did not work as a professional wrestler for a living, but came in to do it on the side as a part-time job. They did not travel with the company and wrestle full-time, they simply came in to do a job for the company usually once a week when they filmed television or for example in the territory days once a week when the company was doing a show in the town would come and be on the card. Wrestling was just a job not that persons profession. When they were done the job went back to their regular employment the next day. They would generally lose the match usually spectacularly in a squash match by the full-time wrestlers which is why people who were synonymous with the term jobber. Losing the match is not doing the job. The wrestler being paid by the boss to win and the guy being paid by his boss to lose are both doing the job they were being paid to do. Losing was "doing the favour" or doing the honours for your opponent because after losing a match the Babyface you would want to get revenge and have the favour returned by beating them in return. I am aware generally speaking when wrestling fans are talking about jobbers they are referring to somebody the losses on television a lot. I also in the past have been guilty of misusing this term but being a jobber is not accurately who or what they are doing.

[@xellestar]

in a sense, but also he is conveying the bone basics of pro wrestling

[@PhunkMaster-VivatChristusRex]

That's bit about "fuck you, I'm not playing anymore" heat is a really important psychology lesson. You have to know how to read the crowd. It's always so disappointing watching a match and hearing the crowd build and build and build as the face is being cut off time after time, then the crowd just fades away, the face tries a comeback and the audience barely reacts apart from some sympathy noise when they beg for cheers with their signature gestures/motions.

I’m a guitar player and Snow’s point around 11:58 hits home in a funny way. I see loads of great guitar players who can play amazing lead guitar, but hardly any of them have any truly great songs. Like, the sweet child of mine solo is only as good as it is because it’s part of a great song with great verses and a great chorus. Feels like a strong parallel with exciting high spots that come in the endless mediocre matches. Performers/artists should focus on making the fundamentals excellent and then adding the showmanship as icing on the cake

Yea so many people are so much alike. He ain't lying. I used to love Al Snow in ECW. That was the most unique shit on the planet back then.

[@exmember1607]

Movies can learn something from Al Snow! The good movies do exactly this! You get emotionally involved with the good guys, a desire to see them beat up the bad guy, and it's a back and forth the entire movie until at the end the good guy wins and you are happy! The bad movies just say, hey here's a good guy- cheer for him; here's a bad guy- boo him. They don't create heat because "it's not your car". In my opinion, the new Star Wars movies are exactly like this. You know who the good guys and bad guys are, but I never got emotionally involved (as much as I was trying)! However, the Avengers movies were different. (Spoilers ahead) A battle between good and evil until Thanos finally wins and kills half the universe. More back and forth until he is finally stopped and the theater cheers.

[@kpimkpim349]

these videos were one of the greatest writing lessons I've ever had. I never realized it but every movie I end up watching beyond 15mins understands what Al's saying, but most don't.

[@desilovepsandhu3555]

Wrestlers today aren't workers, they're acrobats. Why was The Rock so compelling on the mic in the late 1990s? Why was Stone Cold Steve Austin so popular in 1998? Because they knew how to work the crowd and draw heat. They could talk asses into seats. Even CM Punk back in 2011 was amazing.

[@cyclone927]

You also gotta take into consideration that back then those promos werent scripted so Rock & Austin could say whatever they want.Austin had said multiple times that that is a big issue on todays WWE. Also there are amazing workers who are force to wrestle the "wwe style" and are told to hold back a lot.

[@niemiecthestandup]

Hate to burst your bubble but that's not accurate at all. Rock and Austin were very much scripted, they just knew how to deliver lines better. They were given permission to go off-script wayyyy after they had become top guys, because by then they were trusted. But they absolutely were not allowed to improvise during their prime attitude era runs.

[@cyclone927]

I heard Stone Cold himself said on the his podcast they were not scripted, so should believe the man himself or you?

[@niemiecthestandup]

Versace Pancakes and I heard the Rock say they weren't and he had a favourite writer. So between the guy that says he had scripts from writers that helped him, and the guy who said it was all him, which of those two do you think is working you?

That's true wrestling today maybe more athletic today then during the early 2000s, but they fresky choke when they have to improvise a promo. Just ask kalisto

[@sdc3536]

Al's final point about nobody being unique makes perfect sense, especially in WWE. Where they will just give a guy a goofy name (Michael McGillicutty, Lucky Cannon, Husky Harris etc.) with no gimmick and no reason to have fans care about them and then expect them to get over. Look at how many guys flopped because they were given nothing to work with or to standout.

[@DarkSaber22]

[@thebrokenglasskids5196]

So well said by Al at the end there! Vince and WWE are always obsessed with the "look" of a wrestler instead of the mind and mouth of a wrestler. They'll push someone with physique that can't talk for shit, can't come up with an original character idea, can't come up with a unique moveset, and certainly doesn't understand heel/face dynamics on any level close to what Al laid out here. And while they're forcing those clowns down fan's throats, they ignore and won't get behind guys like Bryan or Punk that aren't that impressive to look at physically, but know how to sell the shit out of a line of dialogue and can build a feud to an absolute boiling point all while being interesting and fresh week in and week out. Muscles might get someone's attention, but what their mind cooks up and how their mouth delivers it is what keeps fans interested and invested emotionally. And without that, you're left with watching steroid guys have fake scripted fights. Not good.

You can get heat by just being a bully (in kayfabe). pull cheap shots, never pick on people your own size, and always be a coward when you meet somebody you can't outpower or control. Generally speaking, most people can not stand a bully. Maybe they themselved were bullied, or they just don't like assholes. But acting like that will definitely get you over as a heel.
