Hardy's for sure. Both of them used to get beaten on the weekly WWF shows.

I can think of some guys but they aren't necessarily stars or necessarily jobbers.
Anyone remember Shelton Benjamin's brief stint on Heat in 2002, where he beat Justin Credible?
Nick Dinsmore was used quite a bit as a WCW jobber before jobbing a bit for the WWF and eventually getting his shot at the majors.
Rob Conway as well. I definatly remember watching his fake injury against Orton on Velocity and thinking "Did a jobber just get the a small angle?"

I miss those old shows that featured jobbers like shotgun saturday night and stuff like that. I'm glad they are brining superstars back though.

That's really good for a squash match... It isn't really a squash match at all. How long after that was it that Punk won a match on Heat but they pulled it before broadcast and kept him in OVW?

MVP was a jobber in TNA in 2004
Shane Douglas was a jobber in the WWF circa 1986
75% of today's stars have done preliminary work at one point in their careers

I believe Mick Foley and Curt Hennig were jobbers at one time

I believe Mick Foley and Curt Hennig were jobbers at one time Foley definitely was, the British Bulldogs busted him up pretty bad. But in those times, it was easier for future stars to be TV jobbers because there was much more need for jobbers. Pretty much all wrestling TV in the 80s and early 90s was squash matches. But for today's stars who started out wrestling in the 2000s, there were only the weekend shows and even they didn't always use jobbers... Hell, tomorrow's generation will be even harder to find old jobber clips of because there's no Heat or Velocity anymore.

Triple H Matt and Jeff Hardy
Wasn't Bret Hart a jobber before he started teaming with Jim?
