does anyone miss the days of when we got to watch the top superstars vs the jobbers
usually so the superstars could dominate a match and use there finisher and brag about it. now they spend so much time running there mouths and less time wrestling although i do enjoy bray wyatt's words of wisdom. Wrestling fans dont need to hear stephanie mcmahan running here mouth. and bad guy champions now always seem to get there butts whipped by the good guys and someone sneek away with the belts. showing that the bad guy wrestlers always suck and have to cheat to win. unlike when you had a bad guy vs a jobber that would just humiliate and show how good they were. bottom line there needs to be more wrestling and less BS talking between wrestlers.
anyone else agree

I don't miss them at all.
I prefer competitive matches to jobber squashes. By a mile.

I was thinking about this the other day. I'd rather see some NXT scrubs get destroyed in a minute rather than the likes of Dolph, Sandow and Kofi.

Random rematches suck, I long for the days where everyone on the roster was important.

There is nothing wrong with Superstars or Main Event getting "Jobber" matches as these shows aren't primarily pushing storylines.
WCW Worldwide and later WCW Saturday Night were the places where the jobber got there time.
Most jobber matches are usually a local guy getting a tryout so, why not give these kids television exposure?
Raw and Smackdown always feel like a bigger deal, so I can't see jobber matches happening there very often, but if you are slowly building someone like Rusev, why not have him destroy a couple of jobbers instead of destroying guys like Zack Ryder and JTG right out of the gate?

We pretty much do. Everytime I see Kofi or Dolph come out I know they're gonna lose. They're not the only 2 guys, just the first ones that come to mind.

I wish Ryback was STILL doing this. It'd be a better spot than he's in now.

So do you want more wrestling? Or do you want more squash matches with jobbers?
A squash match isn't wrestling.. It's one guy beating up another guy really bad.

Although I am not the biggest fan of "Superstar beating the crap out of faceless opponent" matches, I am slightly more bothered by Kofi or Ryder getting beaten in moments just to push a new talent along. I feel like there is room for a few enhancement guys so the mid card talent is protected.

What mid-card? pretty much any of the guys in the IC tourney, but I would extend that to Sandow, Truth, Miz... Many others. Don't feel like making a list when I am pretty sure you have an idea of what the mid card would consist of. |

It would be better if you had one main eventer in a feud facing some jobbers agd have the other building himself up as well against another jobber and building a feud and showing how strong they are instead of having 10 matches week after week against each other and having the pay off be nothing since it's already stale

now they spend so much time running there mouths and less time wrestling False. You're making a complaint that would have had more accuracy in the attitude era, and wouldn't have been valid then either. Aside from a couple of exceptions (Cena, Bray Wyatt, maybe one or two more) everyone on the current full time roster spends far more time wrestling than they do talking. In the late eighties and early nineties, a wrestler might have one two or three minute jobber squash match every week or two, and probably that much time or more doing interviews. Now, plenty of guys on the roster have a ten or fifteen minute match every week on TV, if not two matches a week, and almost never do interviews. Now, more than any other time since the WWF's national expansion, the roster spends WAY too much time wrestling and way too little time talking. |

Random rematches suck, I long for the days where everyone on the roster was important. Bingo. That's the big difference from the late eighties/early nineties WWF to now. Back then, you'd see the Bushwhackers do interviews and beat jobbers and they came across as huge stars. Nowadays, they'd just swap wins with the Beverly Brothers for six months solid, and neither team would get over. The old days protected the characters a lot more. Which had the bonus of any match between roster members seeming like a big deal. If wrestling never changed from the squash match format, Justin Gabriel vs JTG could be a Raw main event. The genie can't go back in the bottle, though. Now, you get some turd like Tensai or Rusev squashing jobbers, and it's just like "ehhh, wake me up when this guy actually does something substantial." |

Needs more talking, random squash matches and regular matches don't build a story. It's boring, wrestling is not a sport. Without stories it's ballet with fake hitting.
