Mark Thomas vs. Dino Bravo



The image above foreshadows doom when Mark Thomas has to go up against beefy heel Dino Bravo, accompanied by his evil friends, Earthquake and Jimmy "Mouth of the South" Hart.  How did such a fine young specimen end up just lying on the mat, his huge, muscular build rendered completely useless?

Once again, Mark Thomas has packed all that beef into a black singlet.

With Earthquake at ringside, Mark Thomas' attention is unfortunately divided.

Two sizable athletes move in...

...but Dino Bravo gets the upper hand.



After only a couple minutes, Mark Thomas is already completely out of it. 

Dino Bravo could defeat Mark Thomas in almost-record time, but lifts him up after a two-count to continue his dominance of the battered hunk.


Choking--and humiliating--to impress his friends.


Illegal interference with the ref's back turned.

The chest on Mark Thomas...!

Mark Thomas is the very image of helplessness.


Dino Bravo brings his weight down on Mark Thomas' face--and that's nothing to sneeze at!

Feeling merciful, this time Dino Bravo allows the three-count.

Post-match humiliation!

Jimmy Hart and Earthquake enter the ring post-match.  Mark Thomas is powerless to defend himself.

And it seemed bad when Dino Bravo stomped on Mark Thomas' face...!

Again...?

Yes, again!

The handsome Mark Thomas is crushed, and likely has no idea what is going on around him.

Mark Thomas heaves and gasps, his powerful lungs suddenly unable to get enough air.


The villains circle their helpless prey.

Q: What's the best way for a TRUE jobber to leave a match?

Mark Thomas heaving and gasping as the villains circle.

    1. Okay, I hate to say it, but I couldn't find this match on YouTube. (And I don't know how to upload my jobber DVD's to the computer. I don't think I have the right stuff...) BUT. I did find Mark Thomas vs. The Barbarian. (That match is at about 35:10.)

      Or here's Mark Thomas vs. The Undertaker, the same match at a couple places (I couldn't really tell which had better quality):

    1. I hate to say it, but all I know for the date is that it's between 1990 and 1994, at least according to the DVD label. And sadly, I'm out of touch with the guy I bought it from. (VERY sadly, in fact--he had a ton of jobber DVD's for sale!)
