It'd be weird if you didn't find him physically attractive.

[up] (3) Nope. In spite of liking Broly's fighting style, I've never been much of a wrestling fan. Also, anime and video games > the events of 2005 through 2016. First I've ever heard of the guy.

You don't marry it. You shag it. Whooom, boom, thank you Buu.

I think you'd need a priest first for marriage. tongue

What makes him so handsome is that he's got a very defined nose & chin which also goes to show ya how handsome Gohan is by virtue of the fact Super Buu only got that handsome by absorbing him.

[up] That would not surprise me.

Benoit isn't a name I'd expect to hear in a Dragon Ball thread, but someone managed to mention him contextually. If not poorly.

In the 90s and early 00s there was a pretty big intersection between Pro wrestling fans and the DBZ fandom. :P

Makes sense. Silly pantomime about big strong men beating each other up.

Really? This is the 1st time I've heard about it. Granted there were those guys who dressed in Saiyan armors at Wrestlemania, but I forgot when.

[up][up][up]You mean how jobbing apparently means whenever any character loses to any other character?

It cracks me up to this day that Abridged!Goku lands on Namek to Hulk Hogan's theme song.

You mean how jobbing apparently means whenever any character loses to any other character?

According to Urban Dictionary "jobbing" means whenever a wrestler loses a match. If that's true then the meaning just migrated to mean fictional characters losing to fictional characters... and I mean, wrestlers pretty much are fictional personas/characters, so that's not even really a migration.

As someone into wrestling, there is indeed a lot of overlap with Dragon Ball fans

Jobbing means a wrestler losing a match to get someone else over. Worfing, I believe, is a solely negative term because it means a character has jobbed too often and is stuck in a rut.

[up][up][up][up]In that case, applying the term to anything non-wrestling where the assumption isn't that the characters are intentionally losing is ridiculous on its face.

Worfing isn't solely negative, it's just when a character is defeated to establish the strength of a newer character.

I believe jobbing is used when the characters loses a fight that by all means they shouldn't in order to hype someone up, but has decayed to losing to hype someone up, and then just losing.
