JakeRobertsParoleOfficer Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 Its been announced the Steve Lombardi has been released age 55 after 33 years at WWE Â From a wrestling perspective he must be there longest consecutive actual 'in-ring' employee?? Â Of course more known for being a perennial jobber who occasionally got the odd offence in its incredible to think that he has actually faced off against 4 decades of WWE talent and been a part (albeit small) of the 80s golden era,mid 90s cartoon era, attitude era and the pg era. Â Bit of a shame that they released him as I'm sure his wages were low however I hope he saved abit of $$$ from his time there. Â Is he the most famous 'job' guy ever???
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted May 12, 2016 Paid Members Posted May 12, 2016 has to be. Â what exactly was Lombardi's job other than being a pretty infrequent jobber?
JakeRobertsParoleOfficer Posted May 12, 2016 Author Posted May 12, 2016 Think he helped with whatever they needed. Â He was no Hogan admitedly and wasn't exactly flair in title reigns however how many wrestlers can claim to have been on WWE TV for 30+ years and faced whobhe has (albeit losing). Â Id like to think he got a decent golden handshake!
Moderators PowerButchi Posted May 12, 2016 Moderators Posted May 12, 2016 Yeah, he used to pretty much work as a runner getting people for promos and things. I think along with H****y Wh*******n
JakeRobertsParoleOfficer Posted May 12, 2016 Author Posted May 12, 2016 Â No no PB that's: Â DOCTOR.......HARVEY WIPPLEMAN!!!!
JakeRobertsParoleOfficer Posted May 12, 2016 Author Posted May 12, 2016 Love the way you've managed to reference the mediocre 90s super middleweight into this topic Bill!
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted May 12, 2016 Paid Members Posted May 12, 2016 Brawler had his own Merlin sticker back when I was a kid, so he can hold his head high. Iron Mike Sharpe will always be synonymous with 'perennial job guy' for me.I wonder if Sean Oliver has been in touch with him yet...Â
JakeRobertsParoleOfficer Posted May 12, 2016 Author Posted May 12, 2016 Â Give him some truth serum, strap him to a polygraph and quiz him. I'm sire he's seen and heard it all!
Harry Wiseau Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 Â Â so in a few weeks can we look forward to hearing the words "is that... it is, it's the Manhattan Mauler!" on TNA?
Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted May 12, 2016 Paid Members Posted May 12, 2016 Has he had a falling out with Patterson?
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted May 12, 2016 Paid Members Posted May 12, 2016 He heard that they do a good chippy tea in Preston and asked for his release. Fludder will have him on the next available flight.
Angle_fan Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 Even less chance of him making the Hall of Fame now then
