barry horowtiz was awesome his match was skip at summerslam was very entertaining its a shame he never got a push he could've had a good match with anyone i think esp after his mathc with chris candido anther great worker in the business its a shame
cool it's winless jack hart, ill never forget the florida champion used to get a camaro to drive to the events, we used to go see cwf live in ocala florida one time kendall windam was florida champ he was driving the camaro then the next time winless jack finally won a match and beat him for the florida title then he was driving the camaro florida wrestling was the greatest ever
The last part of the interview was pure ownage, "If I had their money I'd be a billionaire!"
When I was a kid I remember what the deal was is he never had a good finishing move. He almost beat some of the best, but you can't beat the best without a good finisher 99% of the time. Maybe it was different during other periods, but when I watched back in 96-97' that seemed to be a theme with him. Never had the right move to wrap a victory up. Poor Barry Horriblewitz
Mad respect for Barry. I also watched him a lot as a kid and I could say he was one of, if not best, enhancers in the business. It's good to see he's managed his money well and not have to embarrass himself like Flair did.
Barry must have some talent, look how many years he went in and got his ass kicked night after night and he never quit. I remember when he appeared in 3 PPV's because of his hard work.
Barry was a great wrestler....That's why he was one of Shawn Michaels' Knights at Survivor Series 1993 against the Hart Family, because he knew how to put people over and knew how to do a great match....I'm glad WWE decided to push him a little bit in 1995 ( he did Survivor Series that year and the Rumble 1996 ), he deserved it. Glad he had a job in WCw after that, in 1997-1998....Great guy.
Barry's wisdom is paying off. He did make the others look good. But like he said, many big names have turned out far worse/stoned and washed out. Horrowitz gets the last laugh and his more than fair ways pays off from the people who matter.
Besides that's WWF/E. I'm sure you don't see Barry do quite so bad in his local wrestling circuits.
People like him and Reno Riggins are awesome and, will never get there credit and (WWE Hall of Fame isn't much credit either.) Reno is a pretty fricken' wealthy guy and well-known here in Nashville and has an awesome wrestling promotion called S.A.W Wrestling. Then you have Ric Flair, Jake Roberts and, plenty more who should be wealthier than those 2 and aren't for a fact. Someone needs to do a Jobber Shoot Interview Series. If Santino wrestled more he could be the 2010 form of these guys.
His argument about a jobber and a worker makes sense and I see it the same way. To me, Horowitz and the Brooklyn Brawler weren't jobbers but some other slugs that were trotted out definitely were. Good to know that he's financially secure. He always seemed like a good guy and I feel bad that his 1995 push was abruptly ended because he was getting over with the crowd.
I'll never forget when he came down at a royal rumble.......and the Million Dollar Man called him Barry Horriblewitz.........had me cracking up. That was the silliest and funniest Royal Rumble EVER!!!!..........The Swat Team, they were garbage
Barry was one of the most if not the most underrated wrestlers to have ever worked for the WWE/F- definately better than about 97 percent of the current roster- in my opinion, he's a hall of famer!
Brooklyn Brawler was also another jobber I liked - but I don't remember him winning any matches...well maybe one or two but I'm digging way back in the 'ol filing cabinet. Anyway, last I checked he's currently working for the WWE in either talent relations or media or something. So at least he's still working for them.
I remember his win over Sonny in the WWF. I was stunned to see a jobber win a match but after that I was starting to root for him. He was the underdog but he had heart. Too bad he didn't last too long in the WWF.
Now this video should prove to us all Three things, ONE Barry obviously doesn't like to be called a jobber and it pisses him off, TWO, He actually considers himself in HBK's league, and last but not least THREE, The first 2 points added together make a number FOUR, Barry OBVIOUSLY took way to many shots to the head to even DREAM about going "broadway" with Michaels. Just listen to him, Ever wonder why you didn't get anywhere Barry, Just listen how you sound, you can't even cut a shoot
@chadels09 If you actually listen to what he's saying, you would understand that without people like Horowitz you wouldn't have your favorite superstars like Shawn Michaels....the point he is trying to make is someone has to be there to make them look good on paper....someone has to elevate and sell the future stars of the business....but to do so, you have to be a good worker. Mick Foley helped to elevate Randy Orton's career the same way
they shouldve given him a "quasi-cutesy" hardcore title reign if he was around during that straps existence...maybe a 1-&/or2(-&/or-so)european title reign (or something)...4 an "enhancement guy"...he was/is among THE best of 'em!!!...
He was a Heavyweight Champion in Global Championship Wrestling in between his enhancement talent stints in the WCW and WWF. He actually played off his losing ways by calling himself "The Winner." It was a fun gimmick. He used a Reverse DDT known as the "Winning Move."
He should be one of the most respected Sports Entertainers out there, NOT guys who refuse to lose a match left and right who make millions a year jacked up on steroids because they use the prescription loop-hole.
i get what hes saying, he put work into working out but was just unfortunate to not come out on the winning side of the stick, at least he got paid though
I remember watching Barry when I was a kid jobbing to other wrestlers, but now that I'm grown up, this guy truly deserved better. And he's right, jobbers are the one that don't do anything, but I regularly saw him on TV making other wrestlers look good. And let's face it, there has to be people willing to do that. Another good point, many wrestlers have made millions and now have nothing. Barry has a secured lifestyle. You're the man, Barry. At least u have more talent than John Cena.
Hahah, I love how he actually bothers to use correct English - put over people. As a kid, I didn't like Barry Horowitz much, but to me that just proves how good he was at what he did. Much respect.
me too.. only because we all deep down would hope that Barry horowitz was gonna win haha.. but HBK would have to take the victory.. otherwise............
It is interesting that both he and Lanny Poffo said the exact same things. They both own their homes and have more than millionaires. Being 'enchancement" talent seems to be the way to go.
if you knew the business, you would know that some jobbers were better workers than the"star" they were putting over. towards the end of his career Brad Armstrong was a killer jobber. Barry Horowitz was a very good worker and made quite a bit of money making a lot of people look better than they deserved.
He is the best of the best at what he did. How many of you know the names of any other jobbers?? Barry was good at what he did and deserves all the credit in the world. He had a specific role to play, and he did it well .
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
He's such a bitter little bitch. "Oh I'm doing a lot better than a lot of people", no you aren't you're doing interviews with nobodies and fantasizing about having a match with Shawn Michaels that wasn't a 3 minute squash. Piece of shit.
Yeah he beat Skip on a couple of occasions. They gave him a Jew gimmick and had him come out to Hava Nagila. He lost to Alex the Pug Porteau during the Pug's debut match as a regular member of the roster.
The ironic thing is, if Barry ever DID get a real push, he would not be as memorable to us old schoolers.
I don't understand why he's upset that he's a jobber -- that's what he is. Its not like that makes him a chump, it's just a show. Do you see extras pissed off that their characters are killed off in action movies?
Yeah, Barry, you were a jobber. You were the quintessential jobber. But you were entertaining. That's what's important.
Yeah I remember WCW circa 1992 or so having the "Underdog Challenge" matches on WCW Saturday Night. This was when they were from the heat-less horrible Center Stage, complete with pre-recorded looping background "fan sound effects" so there wouldn't be complete silence.
I actually liked those matches. I remember "The Gambler" winning against some other jobber with a vicious clothesline to the top of the head..hahaha
barry babysat me wen i was 6 we both lived in colonia n.j. his family and my family were good friends last time i saw him i was 10 he had vw bug i hada crush on him then his parents were good people he looks so hot lol thanks 4 posting this
He's in denile. He was a jobber, but he's probably not doing to bad for himself. He was perhaps the greatest jobber in the wwf because he did get one win over a known guy that was suppose to be in. Skip of the body donas, I believe.
I know there has to a loser to each match just like there has to be a winner but I just can't see a guy losing each and every week.Seems like that would get humiliating not only in the public spotlight but also in a person's private life.
enokaka, he was never the Brooklyn Brawler but anyways.
Wrestlers do the job when they put wrestlers over. In terms of that definition, every wrestler is a jobber cos even HHH puts wrestlers over, he did the job for the night.
I think "Mr Nobodys" is a better name instead of jobbers. Thats what I used to call them before all the smart shit killed kayfabe.
The Best jobber there was. The best Jobber there is. And the best Jobber there ever will be. Oh wait, he don't like that word. I think I will hide now.
enokaka ur thinking about steve lambardi. barry and steve were tag team for a good while but after the attitude era i vividly remember triple H getting screwed in a guantlet match where he had to take on a shit load of jobbers and brawler/steve lambardi pinned him 1,2,3 and held the title then lost it 1 week later on smackdown. HHH pulverised him something awefull. Barry probably held the tag title but im not sure so dont quote me on that.
i remmeber when he used to pat himself on the back constantly! That was hilarious...and for some reason, when I was a kid, I always thought he would get some kind of push!
Again. This guy described himself as a mechanic when we all know he was a jobber. Barry never won anything but he sure could lose miserably.Barry was and still is a great jobber. Hes not a mechanic at all and never was.He never even made mid card so how could he make hbk look good if he never, ever appeared past the bottom? The guys he described were just losers were as he was and will always be known as a great jobber and not a mechanic like Mr kennedy, Holly, carlito, ect.
steve lambardi was the #1 jobber then this guy. Barry is in denial it seems. A jobber is a guy who goes in there and put guys over VIA a clean job. He tried to make it seem like hes a mechanic whoes job is to make for a good match win or lose. Barry won once every 200 matches. If that aint a jobber then im dreaming
I agree with many others, Barry was an amazing worker and could make anybody in the ring look good. Few workers can do this but Barry is an exception and it's a shame he does not get the respect he deserves. I believe he has his own business going these days, but would be interested in seeing him in action as well.
That was articulate. He put a hell of a lot of people over (lol). I respect him though and its too bad there arent really any career jobbers anymore its one of the lousy things about the modern industry. These guys really built up the stars by letting them showcase their moves and abilities. Jobbing is an artform.
What other wrestlers would you say are well off financially that you wouldn't think? Of course, when you think about Wrestlers who are well off, you think Hogan and The Rock. Bret Hart mentioned that Owen never made Austin bucks, but that he was financially secure. He also made mention that Greg Valentine and Honky were well off too, and that it puzzled him that they would go the indy circuit despite not needing the extra money. Can anyone elaborate?
Roddy Pipers a multi millionaire, so is Randy Savage, Warrior Ted DiBiase made millions but lost a lot of it through bad investments. Iron Sheik also blew his millions he is alleged to have made between $12-16 million over his career and has nothing to show for it now
I was an indy wrestler and I got the opportunity to work with Barry. He was awesome and he knows his shit. His longevity in the wrestling business was because he was such a good worker and he could make even the shittiest guys look good. The WWF needed guys like him to build their guys up they were going to push. I guess the only downfall now is that WWF doesn't do many of these matches now as most were not at the entertainment level required for TV today. Regardless, he is a great worker.
to me the top jobbers were SD Jones, Rene Goulet,Will Bill Snyder,and Iron Mike Sharpe at the end of his career. Barry Horowitz has won matches and had a t shirt made
i remember the waistcoat thing he used to wear with the hand printed on the back of it, not all jobbers had that type of thing, so maybe he was on the higher end of jobbers but a jobber ll the same... as for Brooklyn Brawler i'm sure he's still there in some capacity.. he's like dreamer was to ECW..
barry horowtiz was awesome his match was skip at summerslam was very entertaining its a shame he never got a push he could've had a good match with anyone i think esp after his mathc with chris candido anther great worker in the business its a shame

He's in denile. He was a jobber, but he's probably not doing to bad for himself. He was perhaps the greatest jobber in the wwf because he did get one win over a known guy that was suppose to be in. Skip of the body donas, I believe.

He is the greatest "ham & egger" to ever lay down on a mat for 3 seconds.
Yes Barry you could go either way. We call that bisexual these days.
Why Barry didn't you go the other way? Why? Why?

he was a good wrestler but a jobber at the end of the day.. even if he likes it or not.
barbarash 3 years ago 2
wrong. A jobber is a preliminary wrestler who can't work, plus the name jobber sucks, I perfer the old Bobby Heenan term "Ham & Egger"
wwetnasux 3 years ago
A jobber is a guy that loses all the time. Horowitz lost constantly. Thus, he was a jobber.
Work-rate has nothing to do with it. There have been plenty of very talented jobbers.
Blackson187 3 years ago
I know there has to a loser to each match just like there has to be a winner but I just can't see a guy losing each and every week.Seems like that would get humiliating not only in the public spotlight but also in a person's private life.

He was Barry Hart in the WWF early 80s, then Jack 'The Stretcher' Hart in Florida, then Barry Horowitz in the 90s. He DID do well!

He was Bret Hart in Mid-Atlantic and other areas early on. I thought he was pretty good as "the Stretcher" Jack Hart in Florida and Memphis.

enokaka, he was never the Brooklyn Brawler but anyways.
Wrestlers do the job when they put wrestlers over. In terms of that definition, every wrestler is a jobber cos even HHH puts wrestlers over, he did the job for the night.
I think "Mr Nobodys" is a better name instead of jobbers. Thats what I used to call them before all the smart shit killed kayfabe.

enokaka ur thinking about steve lambardi. barry and steve were tag team for a good while but after the attitude era i vividly remember triple H getting screwed in a guantlet match where he had to take on a shit load of jobbers and brawler/steve lambardi pinned him 1,2,3 and held the title then lost it 1 week later on smackdown. HHH pulverised him something awefull. Barry probably held the tag title but im not sure so dont quote me on that.

i remmeber when he used to pat himself on the back constantly! That was hilarious...and for some reason, when I was a kid, I always thought he would get some kind of push!

He had a push for a little bit in the WWF after he defeated Skip of the Body Donnas for an upset victory.

Again. This guy described himself as a mechanic when we all know he was a jobber. Barry never won anything but he sure could lose miserably.Barry was and still is a great jobber. Hes not a mechanic at all and never was.He never even made mid card so how could he make hbk look good if he never, ever appeared past the bottom? The guys he described were just losers were as he was and will always be known as a great jobber and not a mechanic like Mr kennedy, Holly, carlito, ect.

steve lambardi was the #1 jobber then this guy. Barry is in denial it seems. A jobber is a guy who goes in there and put guys over VIA a clean job. He tried to make it seem like hes a mechanic whoes job is to make for a good match win or lose. Barry won once every 200 matches. If that aint a jobber then im dreaming
sg500 3 years ago

I agree with many others, Barry was an amazing worker and could make anybody in the ring look good. Few workers can do this but Barry is an exception and it's a shame he does not get the respect he deserves. I believe he has his own business going these days, but would be interested in seeing him in action as well.

affinite1 3 years ago
That was articulate. He put a hell of a lot of people over (lol). I respect him though and its too bad there arent really any career jobbers anymore its one of the lousy things about the modern industry. These guys really built up the stars by letting them showcase their moves and abilities. Jobbing is an artform.

ecmulder 4 years ago
What other wrestlers would you say are well off financially that you wouldn't think? Of course, when you think about Wrestlers who are well off, you think Hogan and The Rock. Bret Hart mentioned that Owen never made Austin bucks, but that he was financially secure. He also made mention that Greg Valentine and Honky were well off too, and that it puzzled him that they would go the indy circuit despite not needing the extra money. Can anyone elaborate?

I was an indy wrestler and I got the opportunity to work with Barry. He was awesome and he knows his shit. His longevity in the wrestling business was because he was such a good worker and he could make even the shittiest guys look good. The WWF needed guys like him to build their guys up they were going to push. I guess the only downfall now is that WWF doesn't do many of these matches now as most were not at the entertainment level required for TV today. Regardless, he is a great worker.

to me the top jobbers were SD Jones, Rene Goulet,Will Bill Snyder,and Iron Mike Sharpe at the end of his career. Barry Horowitz has won matches and had a t shirt made
Obelisk2290 4 years ago 3
i remember the waistcoat thing he used to wear with the hand printed on the back of it, not all jobbers had that type of thing, so maybe he was on the higher end of jobbers but a jobber ll the same... as for Brooklyn Brawler i'm sure he's still there in some capacity.. he's like dreamer was to ECW..
