They were all mid card talents that were usually involved in mid card feuds and matches where as your top dogs like Hogan would be the main event, Warrior and Savage maybe at those times, so these are considered mid card talent and were in the odd main event, simply cause they had a feud with a main event star (IE Rick Rude with Warrior in the steel cage for example), but from that era they're considered mid card talent really, bit like Dolph Ziggler today
I don't really remember it that way. They all headlined cards, while Hogan or Savage were on other cards.
The WWF ran multiple shows in much of the EA. So was Slaughter a mid carder?
I just remember that back then we called those guys "main eventers"
mid carders was a term reserved for what this new generation would call jobbers.
So ask them themselves, you ask Roberts. Were you a mid carder? I would like to see the look on his face.
You see back then jobbers were actually full time jobbers, they never ever won, of course their was a rare exception from time to time, but 99.99999% of the time they did not win, and unless there was a TV taping they did not appear on House shows.
Then you had guys who did jobs allot but would also score many victories especially in the mid card of a house show. These guys were never in main events at all. Not on any house shows, but they were on the mid card.
Guys like SD Jones, Salvatorie Bellomo, Cheif Jay Strongbow (late in his career), Hillbilly Jim, Lanny Poffo and many others at points in their careers. I don't think it's fair to label any of these guys as jobbers. We called them mid card guys. The current IWC, based on the way wrestling is today, has done so. This is a fallacy.
