Can you imagine a wrestling federation where there is no such thing as a jobber? Can you imagine how over-booked main events would be? How would you elevate a star if there wasn't some sap to eat the guy's crappy finisher and take the fall? Wrestlers get jobbed because wrestling ain't real and wrestlers get paid the same whether they win or lose. So even though it pains me to see Gangrel jobbed to *ugh* Prince Albert, I know that there is the Natural Order of Society at work.

The thing that gets me is that the higher up the order you go, the more incompetent and stupid people seem to become. If, like me, you read Dilbert (created by Scott Adams, a big influence on me), you will know that it seems the most incompetent are in management. This transfers to wrestling, where it seems the most talented wrestlers are the mid-carders while the inferior wrestlers inhabit the top tier. Just as in Dilbert the garbage man is a genius, so the likes of Kanyon and Gangrel are mere jobbers. Do you see? It makes sense. The stupid are put in positions where they won't bother the senior management, such as a whining wrestling star being put in the main events to shut him up. Once there, he consistently puts on matches that do not compare to those of his colleges lower on the card. The only reason he gets great crowd reactions is because he can talk and do a couple of things he repeats over and over again. The fans don't notice this because he's the top guy and that's what makes him great. A manager in a company is similar, all he can do is tell people what to do and write memos and mission statements with lots of long words ("change 'help' to 'facilitate' and 'do' to 'implementation phase'" - Dilbert's boss) They don't do the hard work, the lower down guy he wrestles spends the entire time making the more important guy look good, just like in the real world. Its kinda like us columnists writing these brilliant columns to make CRZ look good :)

Its all part of the order. The 'big people' would be nothing without the 'little people'. So just remember that next time you see a good wrestler doing a job to some no-talent idiot just remember he is providing a valuable service. Just like next time you are in a the post office, thank the assistant before you leave and make sure you mean it.
