    Brilliant blog post. What a great list of early 90's jobbers. This was the era I began to watch the WWF :-)

    You might want to add Jim Brunzell in the list of 1993 jobbers. I didn't even realize he was still in the WWF as of 1993, long after the Killer Bees (featuring Iron Sheik's "favorite" wrestler B. Brian Blair) disbanded! Turns out he was just another enhancement talent...

    Great work with the blog! This one brings back a whole lot of memories.
