Barry Horowitz

[4.0] "Barry was the best jobber of them all, so there's something to say. His small "push" in WWE was entertaining, and I credit him for the back pat as one of the better salutes in wrestling history. Beyond that, a solid wrestler that made his mark."

[9.0] "(edited/condensed) A real joy to watch when given time; Barry Horowitz is THE Enhancement Talent of Enhancement Talents.. *ahem* he was literally the "Brett Hart" of Enhancement Talent while in Crockett. A seemingly never ending pool of heel antics mixed with technical wrestling, it all looks so tight/crisp and *chef's kiss*, one of the best arsenals of his era. Had also had one of the best "panicked heel" faces and you can't not mention the glorious back pat. Even solid behind the mic (the rare times he was allowed to speak). Check out his competitive matches on Primetime wrestling, almost all of them are great watches that transcend time. He also did great in the "New Generation" era of the WWF. He had outstanding chemistry with The Blue Blazer/Owen Hart, all of their matches across the years earn him a special spot in my heart. Top shelf talent. Can only go wrong with some of the unfortunate squashes."

[6.0] "Good underdog story, decently funny but I feel like he was always destined to just be stuck as a jobber."

[8.0] "Barry Horowitz, as an in-ring wrestler and performer, was better than anyone thinks he was. The guy's work was believable, technically sound and way ahead of most guys in the WWF at the time. Had he been better in character, and had a slightly bigger physique, he might have gotten a good mid card run with the IC Championship. From what I have seen during his time in Florida, he did decent. He did his job as best as he could and is now remembered as one of the biggest enhancement talents."

[10.0] "One of the best if not the best jobber in his era. He can make anyone look like million bucks in the ring. He was the Bret Hart of jobbers and deserves a Hall Of Fame spot. Any match is watchable. His biggest break came in 1995 when he pinned Skip."

[5.0] "Dude was better than you would believe but was one of the WWF's biggest jobbers of all time. He won a couple of matches against other scrubs on the C House Show circuit and his biggest push came in 95 when he beat Skip of the Bodydonnas. The story goes the Clique didn't like that (seriously, they felt threatened by Barry Horowitz? ) and they yanked the rug out from under him."

[6.0] "Knew what his job was and did it well. There is part of me that still wishes we had job guys but they would get over "ironically" and they would have to win a few or over shadow the guy they were putting over so it wouldn't work. If you pardon a pun, you never saw Barry do a bad job in the ring."

[6.0] "He is the Jobber's jobber. He did his job just fine, however I don't remember him specifically elevating anyone specifically?"

[8.0] "This guy was so good. He was used merely as a jobber/enhancement talent for the majority of his career, but damnit, he more than excelled at that role. Put Barry Horowitz in a match against anyone to squash, and he will make them look like a million bucks."

[9.0] "horowitz, best jobber ever. him, lombardi, sd jones, mike sharpe. one of the best sellers ever, he could make a broom look good."

[5.0] "Solid and funny jobber, but never impressive or good enough to get a solid push. Still had some funny performances throughout the years."

[10.0] "One of the best jobbers of all time. He was also a high flyer later in his career. He was a great heel jobber. Firs tin Florida. Then well known in WWF sporadically from 1980 to 1997. He was first known as Barry Hart, then Horowitz. He won the GWF Light Heavyweight title. He was a bit hot in 1993 and occasionally teaming with the Brooklyn Brawler. In 1995 he broke out into low-card status and defeated Skip (Chris Candidio). He won the Most Inspirational Wrestler of the Year by Pro Wrestling Illustrated. He teamed up with Hakushi for a short while. later Horowitz went back to jobbing in WWF until he left for WCW in 1997. In WCW he went downhill. The reason 9 is because of the wrestlers he's put so many over."

[5.0] "WWE's most famous jobber, Horowitz was competent in the ring but nothing special. His push was in a very similar vein to James Ellsworth, except that the joke of Horowitz being a jobber ran way longer than Ellsworth and was less funny. He also ruined Chris Candido's WWE career, which just sucks. A good wrestler with the charisma and staying power to memorable, but he really overstayed his welcome, especially when constantly getting wins over established talent like Candido and Hakushi, while at the same time being portrayed as incompetent. Everyone that lost to Horowitz never recovered and although that's not his fault, it still remains a black mark on his career."

[6.0] "He was a jobber, but he played the jobber role well. In today's product most jobbers are unknown local talent with fake names. But seeing a regular jobber who you kind of actually got behind regardless of whether he's from your hometown or not had a certain charm to it. And the self-back-pat made you want to root for him."

[7.0] "Barry Horowitz was, as might be expected from a Boris Malenko trainee, actually quite a good grappler, and was very good at making his opponents look good. That, combined with his relative lack of size (for his era) and somewhat lacking charisma ensured that he would mainly be used as an enhancement talent, but he made the most of his role and became one of the more memorable, and certainly one of the best, jobbers of his era. Born to a different time he may well have found more glory for himself."

[8.0] "Sometimes in wrestling it's not about becoming champion, it's about playing a role as best as you possibly can, and Barry Horowitz fits perfectly into that category. One of the best enhancement talents around and good enough to play a bigger role when needed, both in WWF and outside of it. Count me as a fan of Horowitz."

[7.0] "One of the best jobbers of all time. He could make anyone look good, and always seemed to be on the cusp of winning the match. He should be proud of his career."

[10.0] "Incredibly underrated MALENKO trained talent who should have never been used as enhancement talent. Maybe it has to do with the fact that he's an incredible seller. Probably one of the biggest underachievers in pro wrestling history (and I say that with respect). Unglaublich unterschätzte Malenko ausgebildete Talente, die noch nie als Erweiterung Talent eingesetzt sollte. Vielleicht hat es damit zu tun, dass er eine unglaubliche Verkäufer tun. Wahrscheinlich einer der größten Versager in Pro Wrestling Geschichte (und ich sage das mit Respekt)."

[8.0] "Barry Horowitz, also known as Brett Hart, was a wonderful wrestler. He was a true winner despite a long losing streak, and quickly won over millions of fans the second he was given a chance. Wearing his heritage on his sleeves, Horowitz could have been far more of a star than he was if only the wrestling world hadn't treated him like a pure goof the first few years of his career."
