10 Most Memorable WWE Underdog Victories

1. Barry Horowitz Defeats Bodydonna Skip - Action Zone 1995

Even though Skip of the Bodydonnas (better known as Chris Candido) was never a main event guy in the WWF, this is the upset in wrestling history. Barry Horowitz is one of the more famous "jobbers" of all-time, working in that role for years. Before the victory over Skip, Horowitz had not won a match on any sort of WWF programming for the entirety of his career there, spanning back to 1987. He won some house show matches in his early years, but television viewers had never once seen him victorious, not even by countout or disqualification. He suffered 176 consecutive losses on WWF programming before the Skip victory, and that number goes even higher if you count his early run in WCW. Think about that the next time your favorite WWE talent loses two or three straight matches on television and you complain about it. Nobody thought we would ever see Horowitz victorious. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4twaf_action-zone-barry-horowitz-vs-skip_shortfilms The WWF used his win to push him as some sort of weird hybrid of jobber and someone to kind of take seriously, giving him three more televised victories in 1995 (Hakushi, Skip, and then teaming with Hakushi to beat Skip and Rad Radford), but it didn't really work. His career highlight would probably take place the following year, when he defeated Owen Hart on television. Words simply cannot describe how shocking this moment was, for those of you who are newer to the business and only started watching wrestling in the current era. Sure, there are "jobbers" in WWE today, but even the likes of Heath Slater, David Otunga, Zack Ryder, etc, don't go years without winning a match or two on television. Chances are, with the way the business and television have shifted, we'll never see something like this again, so we should cherish this moment and help it to live forever.
