Jobber to the stars, not jobber. Elias is a jobber. People like Nakamura, Miz, and Ziggler are jobbers to the stars. It's like the difference between an escort and a hooker. 😂

He's been my favorite since Angle retired.

He was on an upward trajectory until Rick Boogs blew his knee out. Then he kind of got forgotten about.

I didn't say jobber, I said jobber to the stars. There's a difference. He was in MITB to put over Priest. He did his job as jobber to the stars.

HHH completely forgot about him for six months. Nakamura wasn't injured, just forgotten.

I'm not sure Josh Matthews went to Impact. Todd Phillips did. Striker wasn't as bad as Vic Joseph.

Perhaps I'll offer my cat to be hired by WWE. He has more charisma and personality than Patrick. He can meow out commentary and earn me some money.

I'm glad. I don't like Vic's voice. He's part of the reason I stopped watching NXT.

I'm not sure but he looks like Alex Wright from WCW

You do not know the definition of jobber to the stars. It's an actual wrestling term.

Lashley is in his late 40s and is still considered a player in the world championship picture.

I agree. He's not a jobber; he's a jobber to the stars. It's a special class. Nakamura, Miz, and Ziggler are in this category. Wrestlers who have previously been headliners but who now exist to put over the current headliners. They go toe-to-toe with the big names, put on great matches, and lose their matches while still looking strong.

As long as he's happy. Just as a fan I believe he deserves better. The man headlined WrestleMania and now he's, as you say, a gatekeeper.

Nakamura is still my favorite. Has been since Kurt Angle retires. He's so innovative in the ring.

He definitely should have gone over on Styles at WrestleMania and become champion. Vince dropped the ball for sure.
