I think there may have been one of these a long time ago, but fuckit, this guy was the man. He was fucking hilarious, and knew how to make guys look good.

couldn't embed this but he pretty much gets incensed with the term jobber and I kind of understand why. Dude was a rock solid worker and really took his shit seriously and could have great matches... case and point...

He understood the business and he was good at his job, and he really does not get enough credit. A pure professional and I'd always lmfao when he got violently squashed and would always pat his back.

Yeah but the thing is, is he can go hold for hold with Owen. He didn't look out of place.

ALSO, listen up right the fuck now.

During my travels, I have seen Barry wrestle live more times than everyone here put together. He is indeed good in the ring. He's probably the best wrestling Jew since Malenko.

ALSO, the 'listen up right the fuck now' - was just to make it sound really important and all uppity and shit.

As a Jew I find it tragic that Bill Goldberg is going into the Jewish Sports HoF before Barry Horowitz.

I find it tragic that there's a Jewish sports hall of fame.

Barry could get the job done in the ring. :shifty:

Seriously, he knew how to make guys look good in the ring.

He only really got his due in a short run at Global Championship Wrestling. The promotion that gave us such stars as Scotty Flamingo (aka Raven), The Ebony Experience (aka Harlem Heat), Jerry Lynn, and Lightning Kid (aka Waltman). They also gave us Handsome Stranger (aka Fluff Faggswell).

He was called "The Winner," which kind of played off his lack of winning ways. He even had their Heavyweight Title for a while.
