10 Most Jaw-Dropping Wrestling Giant-Killings
6. Barry Horowitz Beats Skip - Wrestling Challenge 1995
Barry Horowitz is one of the rare examples in wrestling of someone getting over as a loser.
Horowitz was a jobber extraordinaire, collecting losses like they were going out of fashion. He played a part in the early days of many future legends' careers, including being the first WWE opponent of both Billy Gunn and Hardcore Holly.
Big Barry's finest moment came on a July 1995 episode of Wrestling Challenge. After losing to Bodydonna Skip on Raw, Horowitz faced the blonde once again and, to everyone's amazement, he actually won.
The crowd went mental, as did Jim Ross, whose excellent commentary really helped put this moment over. Skip and manager Sunny furiously argued against the decision, whilst Horowitz celebrated just like he'd just won the SuperBowl.
This unlikely victory led to Horowitz facing Skip once more, only this time at SummerSlam. Instead of returning the loss, Horowitz actually beat him again! See, WWE, that's how you build someone's momentum!
If only Fandango had been around in 1995.
Though he may have faded into wrestling obscurity, Horowitz's big win remains one of the most heart-warming moments in wrestling history.
