I know Mil Mascares was notorious for almost never allowing anyone to go over him. Supposedly Mil had a absolutely enormous ego and was kind of like a prototypical Hulk Hogan in terms of jobbing. Cornette was booking for the WCW when Mil was brought in and has mentioned how difficult Mil was to work with.
Speaking of Hulk... I can't remember many ever going clean over him. Even when the Warrior pinned him he there was that 2 and 3/4's count bullshit, there was the finger poke of doom, the Andre bout where he was pinned but again his should came up early, so on and so forth. The Hulkster seemingly mellowed out with time and by the time he came back to the WWF in the early 2000's he had no qualms losing and would drop plenty of matches. But back in his prime, not so much.
A little before my time but I believe Bruno Samartino had extremely long undefeated streaks, as did Andre the Giant. The only people I can think of that went over Andre clean were Hogan and Inoki by submission in Japan. I remember the Haku tag match against Demolition but that's not a clean job obviously.
So what workers were notorious for refusing to put anyone else over? How about Bruiser Brody, since he's popular around here lately? Was he as notorious as you hear about jobbing?
Andre jobbed quite a bit but there wasn’t the net back then. He got slammed before Hogan. Brody also would work but you would need to pay him, like Andre.
HHH not giving Sting a win is the most egregious non job of all time. Maybe NWO Hogan vs Sting was worse.
