    Well, it wasnt 1992.

    Davey Boy Smith's most frequent opponent in 1992 was Repo Man (28 matches). davey boy wrestled 133 times in the year, going 106-11-1.

    Warlord wrestled only 46 times (30-11-3, with 2 battle royal/other matches), as I believe he left the company during the year.

      I found this interesting. The following wrestlers went undefeated in 1992:

      Crush (133-0-2) - "Kona" Crush gimmick
      Bob Backlund (33-0)
      Yokozuna (17-0) - begginings of big main even push
      Konnan (11-0)
      Paul Ellering (10-0)

      Konnan was probably dark matches and stuff as Max Moon. Ellering was on the winning end of siz man tags with the Legion Of Doom.

      Backlund was back after many years and most of those wins are over jobbers for TV.

      Crush was repackaged, and Yokozuna arrived in October and was pegged for future main events from day one. That's how you get someone over, by winning matches. Not by trading wins on TV every week, which leads to nobody getting over. Why do they not get this anymore?

        1991

        Davey Boy Smith, 208 matches
        Warlord, 178 matches

        Davey Boy Smith vs the Warlord: 29 singles matches and 4 tag matches. Davey Boy won 19 of these matches.

        So it appears the extent of their epic feud was greatly exaggerated over the years. In fact, The Warlord faced Kerry Von Erich (39), and Bret Hart (32) in more singles matces, and Davey Boy's most frequent singles opponent was Mr. Perfect (30).

        The most frequent matchup of the year was Ted DiBiase vs. Virgil - 79 times in singles matches, with 15 more tag matches.

          Oh okay yeah I thought I remember hearing about it being some tremendous every single house show, same match every single time deal.

          Guess it wasn't true.

            Lack of roster depth. They used to have 5-10 guys on the roster at all times who were just there to job, and many more local guys they would use at times. Now they don't. If someone doesn't have "use", they don't get to stay.

                  Examining 1991:

                  Full Time Jobbers

                  Kato - 156 matches, 11 wins (2-51 singles)
                  Pat Tanaka - 113 matches, 12 wins (1-11 singles)

                  (Most of those tag wins for each man were early in the year when Orient Express were still recieving a semblence of a push)

                  Brooklyn Brawler - 96 matches, 5 wins (4-81 singles)
                  Dale Wolfe - 30 matches, 0 wins (0-21 singles)
                  Bob Bradley - 28 matches, 1 win (0-22 singles)

                  Other guys like Louie Spicolli, Barry Hardy & Duane Gill (jobber team!), plus "pushed" jobbers who hardly ever won (but won more than these other guys) like Koko B Ware, Bushwhackers (48-107 as a team), Hercules & Paul Roma (18-55 as a team), Haku, The Genious, etc, littered the roster.

                    Speaking of jobbers, Warner you probably can remember his name

                    When I was a kid there was a jobber we used to joke about, I dont think he ever won a match, I'm thinking his name was Jerry Johnson, or something like that, white guy, I think he would wear green trucks

                    He was usually in matches with guys like Andre the giant when he would beat like 3 guys at once, he would pile them on top of each other and sit on them for the pin

                      That era had a shit ton of pasty looking white guys who would job on TV. I recall a jobber named Jerry Monti. Here is the only match I could find, but it's a pretty cool find for other reasons. The entire Heenan Family is at ringside, Jesse Ventura takes a shot a Bruno Sammartino just to remind everyone Bruno is still in the booth (he literally never spoke), and a fan holds up the worst sign ever.

                        Here is a great example of pasty, white, middle aged, unathletic looking jobbers...Joe Mirto, Rick Gunther, and my personal favorite, Tom Stone. Stone must have done hundreds of TV jobs in the 80's in both the WWF & AWA.

                            Has there ever been a better collection of voices in wrestling during that time ?
                            Vince , Jesse , Gorilla , Okerlund , and whats his name the ring announcer.
                            Even Heenan while not having a great voice had such a matching voice to the weasel moniker.

                            I feel like every booth or combination after that had some generic guy , or worse a southern twang guy.
                            Best reason to have a license.
