Re: The Next BIG Jobber?
I'm thinking "outside" the usual box (i.e., "jobber" = a little tiny girl who can't get out of her own way and so is whipped by just about everyone). Instead, reading the topic, I began thinking of BIG girls who could "sell" moves and who would be "believable" as cannon fodder for the top women (apartment rasslin, catfightin, boxing, MMA or pro-style ring rasslin).
Of course, I immediately eliminated many of the "usual suspects" (thank you Verbal Kint). Big name stars like Taylor Swift, Keira Knightley are too obvious for my list. And "little girls" like ... well, just about everyone mentioned so far (Cameron, Winter, Thorne, Justice, et. al.) are exactly the type you EXPECT to lose. Where's the fun in that?
And I'm leaving off "youngsters" - singers, actresses, etc., who have yet to solidify their reputation.
So I spread my net wider and came up with a few names, which I will now offer... with all humility:
Charlize Theron: (almost 5'10" and 40 y/o!) Oscar winning actress, can "sell" and looks sexy going down to defeat.
Cameron Diaz: (5'9" and 43 y/o) still "looks" like a fighter, but does she have the "heart"? I think not!
Stacey Keibler: (5'11" - all legs!) the ex-pro wrestler pretty much defined "jobber" in the WWF for years!
Catherine "Cat" Bell: (5'10" but 47 y/o) Once a top fighter who's now reduced to "losing for her supper."
Jeri Ryan: (5'9" also 47 y/o) Without the mileage of Bell, but she's on the downhill side of her career!
Halle Berry: (5'6" but 49 y/o) Still has a fighter's cred, but the years have taken their toll! Jobber? Please!
Katherine "Kat" Heigl (5'9", 37 y/o) but hasn't had a "hit" in (what...five? six?) years? Jobber!
Catherine (CZJ) Zeta-Jones: (5'7", 46 y/o) Last "hit" was (?) Zorro? Ocean's Twelve? Answer: 10 yrs ago!
Lucy Lawless: (5'11", 47 y/o) Answer (as above, but twice) - "Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)!
Rebecca Romijn: (5'11", 43 y/o) Answer: X-Men (2011) NOTE: King & Maxwell and The Librarians DO NOT COUNT!!! (please it's cable)
Other names to toss in your own personal "jobber hopper" might include:
Charisma Carpenter, Natasha Henstridge (Species), Debra Messing(?), Teri Hatcher, Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica), Monica Bellucci, Manuela Acuri, Sarah Lancaster (because she was on "Chuck" w/Yvonne Strahovski - who really DOES kick butt!), Brooke Hogan (just because she's a SINGER, not a rassler!), Christina Hendricks (a big, soft, redhead...what's not to like?), and finally (the women of "Law & Order): Melina Govich, Alana de la Garza, Elisabeth Rohm, Angie Harmon, Jill Hennessy, Annie Parisse, Carey Lowell, Mariska Hargitay, Tamara Tunie, Diane Neal, Kelli Giddish, Stephanie Marsh...
and that doesn't include L&O:CI which ended in 2011!
