"Enhancement Talent"? You must be channelling McMahon because these workers are known as "Jobbers". Traditionally guys who have more talent than box-office charisma, they carry the up-and-comers and make the stars on the downhill side look good again (like the aformentioned Jimmy Valiant).

On the upside they have an easier time staying near their home base than the stars do, allowing most of them to have some semblance of a real life between gigs. Ol' Pez was a consumate jobber.

In case anyone didn't know, Angelo Poffo is the father of "the Macho Man" Randy Savage and long-time world record holder for the most sit-ups.

Jobbers, jabronis, ham-n-eggers (a Bobby "the brain" Heenan fave)

"...In case anyone didn't know, Angelo Poffo is the father of "the Macho Man" Randy Savage..."

...And let's not forget, also the father of Leaping Lanny Poffo, the poet laureate of the WWF...
