History
In November 1998, Al Snow, Bob Holly and Scorpio united and formed the J.O.B. Squad together. Soon after their formation, Holly and Scorpio defeated Too Much in the Squad's first match on the November 8 episode of Heat. On the November 22 episode of Raw, the J.O.B. Squad helped Mankind defeat Ken Shamrock and The Big Boss Man in a triple threat match. After helping Mankind, the J.O.B. Squad gained a new member in Duane Gill, who then scored an upset over Christian by winning the Light Heavyweight Championship. The Squad would score another upset later on in the night as they defeated the New Age Outlaws after interference from Shamrock, Bossman, Mankind and other J.O.B. Squad members. Gill was later renamed Gillberg and he began parodying the mannerisms and ring entrance style of then-WCW World Heavyweight Champion Goldberg. On the November 29 episode of Sunday Night Heat, Gillberg faced Christian in a rematch for the Light Heavyweight Title, but the match ended in a double disqualification after the debuting Blue Meanie, a new member of the Squad, interfered. On the following episode of Raw, Gillberg scored another upset when he defeated Marc Mero, who had to (in storyline) retire from wrestling if he lost.
On December 13 at Rock Bottom, Gillberg defeated Matt Hardy to retain the Light Heavyweight Championship on an edition of Sunday Night Heat. However, The Brood defeated Snow, Scorpio, and Holly on the pay-per-view. A month later at the Royal Rumble, Blue Meanie, Snow, and Gillberg were each eliminated from the Royal Rumble within a span of 10 seconds.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“If you look at the 150 years of modern China’s history since the Opium Wars, then you can’t avoid the conclusion that the last 15 years are the best 15 years in China’s modern history.”
—J. Stapleton Roy (b. 1935)
“The true theater of history is therefore the temperate zone.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“We are told that men protect us; that they are generous, even chivalric in their protection. Gentlemen, if your protectors were women, and they took all your property and your children, and paid you half as much for your work, though as well or better done than your own, would you think much of the chivalry which permitted you to sit in street-cars and picked up your pocket- handkerchief?”
—Mary B. Clay, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 3, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
