Despite that the best "jobbers" manage to establish a foothold in the fans' minds with a gimmick. The Brooklyn Brawler, pictured above, was a bad-boy baseball player. Barry Horowitz patted himself on the back for good moves so much they sewed a hand shape on his ring jacket's shoulder. "Iron Mike" Sharp sported a forearm covering that supposedly harbored metal to unfairly harm his opponents.
None of them started out with the intention of putting over others but made the best of their circumstances at the expense of pride and ego. And that is one of the definitions of true greatness.
well said!
