Butt Monkey/Professional Wrestling: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

* These are called "jobbers" in the business - wrestlers whose sole purpose is to regularly come out and be on the receiving end of a [[Squash Match]] to try and put the other wrestler over as dominant and/or a heel.

* [[~~Santino Marella (Wrestling)|~~Santino Marella]]. When he's not doing something to hurt/humiliate himself (like trying to mimic someone doing the splits and hurting his crotch in the worst possible way) or getting dumped when the dummy he's dating abruptly grows a brain, he's getting mauled by everyone up to and including the weakest females on the roster. It was vaguely implied his former girlfriend [[Beth Phoenix]] occasionally beat him up just for the hell of it.

** The ultimate humiliation in pro wrestling has to be when one of the ''fan favorites'' screws you over and the audience thinks it's funny. That's what happened to Santino when [[Shawn Michaels]] kicked him in the face backstage when Santino was rehearsing his "acting skills."

** Following his face turn, Santino seems to have [[Took a Level In Badass]] and became a more competent tag team partner of Vladmir Kozlov. Since his [[Cloudcuckoolander|overall quirkiness]] still remains, he still gets it once in while, but then again, how many comical wrestlers don't?

Line 19:

* Ken Anderson. In just one week, he was assaulted by: [[Wrestler/Sting|Sting]], Sting again, [[Matt Hardy]], Abyss, Sting again again, Sting a fourth time, [[Hulk Hogan]], Sting yet again, and [[Rob Van Dam]]. Seems like people just can't resist beating up the asshole.

* Oh, boy Jillian Hall. Hell she could even be the new trope namer. Around 2007 they gave her a [[Hollywood Tone Deaf]] gimmick as a [[Take That]] to Brooke Hogan who was trying to have a music career. When she got moved to Raw she became a joke and jobber and existed for four years being mad fun of for her bad singing. In both 2009 and 2010 she had only one pinfall victory that she got herself. She actually managed to capture the Divas' title from Mickie James...only to lose it to Melina about two minutes later. Then there's that one-sided feud with the [[Jerk Sue|Bella Twins]].

* [[Zack Ryder]] seems to have been reduced to this as well in recent times, as he has been getting repeatedly pummeled by [[Kane (~~Wrestling~~)|Kane]], humiliated and used by a scheming [[Eve Torres]], and jobbing to wrestlers who are less popular than him (usually after a crowd-pleasing Broski Boot and a failed attempt to pull off a Rough Ryder).
