Paid Members Egg Shen Posted June 11, 2011 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 11, 2011 you can talk about Yoko being complimented for being safe all day, but there's no way he didn't take liberties with them jobbers.

Paid Members ShortOrderCook Posted June 11, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 11, 2011 Definitely one of those guys who was a hell of a lot better than he got any credit for looking back. Â Indeed. I always liked Yoko, thought he was tremendous. He gets harshly criticized as a rubbish champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted June 11, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 11, 2011 Dynamite Kids used to abuse them, because WWF regulars got $50 for a TV taping and jobbers got $500. Even though they werent on the road earning the big money, it must have rubbed the WWF stars up the wrong way that the jobbers were getting that much for doing a job. Iron Mike Sharpe must have been loaded. He was never off TV back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snitsky's back acne Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I am currently reading Bret Hart's autobiography and he states that The Banzai drop is not painful at all as Yoko does it so well  Yeah, I would say Dan Dubiel and a few of these guys might disagree.  http://youtu.be/y_eSR2SRI08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted June 11, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 11, 2011 I'd say this is just as bad. Look at Mable's finisher against Duane Gill at 4:30 http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9mlyr_me...rry-hardy_sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted June 11, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 11, 2011 How the hell didn't Rikishi kill Val Venis after this?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHR36wY0e6c  It warranted a 'Look at the carnage' call from JR and everything, still one of the most impressive spots I've seen in WWF/E. If the 'universe' hadn't have shat all over the 'I did it for The Rock', Rikishi may have made for a quality monster heel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Never understood the lack of respect that job guys got from some Wrestlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted June 12, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 12, 2011 Isn't the Dynamite Kid 'mistreating jobbers' story built around the fact he body-to-back suplexed Foley from the top rope once, after all Foley could come up with before the match was 'I can bump'?  And the clothesline that followed was Foley's fault by his own admission  I've never heard any other stories than that about Billington and Jobbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted June 12, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 12, 2011 Foley never said it was his own fault. This is an exact quote from the book: "I honestly think that he saw my weak attempt at offense as a slap in the face, and his body started physically shaking on the ring apron as he begged for the tag. When he tagged in, there is no doubt in my mind now, as I believe there was none in his then, that he planned to hurt me. He shot me into the ropes and followed me a half step behind the whole way. When I came off the ropes, he clubbed me across the jaw with his biceps, in what I guess was technically a clothesline. I never saw it coming, and the effect was devastating. Pain shot from the tip of my jaw through my ears. Then, with my ears still ringing and my head was pounding, I was suplexed backward off the top rope, and I fell in an awkward way onto my shoulders and the back of my head." Â Also, Foley went up to Dynamite and asked if he could get his shit in, which the Bulldogs took offence to, because he was just a jobber. And for other examples, you just need to read his book or go to the Q&A's of his old website. He doesnt seem ashamed of the abuse he dishes out to green jobbers. Bret Hart was one of them. He used to break his nose for a laugh when he first went to Canada, and he sliced Davey Boy's head to pieces when he offered to blade his cousin.

Â Not all true, they let Foley get his offence in which was one of the worst looking back elbows I've seen, and Davey correctly no sold it to make him look like a bitch. Â The fact Foley, afterward, went up to the Bulldogs and thanked them says it all, in the end he actually built his career on those sort of bumps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
