I think what was so strange was they were treated like jobbers with little effort made to make it seem like beating them was good.

It was like, this is Bobby Eaton, he is a veteran, 2 minutes later, he has lost.  Thats probably why they stand out.  At least when Flair tarnished his legacy you still knew he was a 16 time champion, he still got the big entrances and was hyped up, Eaton and co. just got lumped in with anyone.  The funny thing watching these Nitros, ever jobber was either a former star or a star in the making, I mean I know virtually EVERYONE of them, barring the odd exception (Roadblock) they all amounted to something or had been a somebody.

I know with a lot they say its not just the money, they love the business too much, but it baffles me how they didn't use them as better, more notorious jobbers.  The funny thing was many were jobbed out to guys of a similiar age who were from their era, like a Nitro match between Flair/Anderson and Rock N' Roll Express.
