20 Most Unsung Heroes In Wrestling History

10. Barry Horowitz

This one might seem like a joke, but it isn't. Barry Horowitz is known for being one of the biggest jobbers that the WWF had in the 80s and into the mid-90s, as well as in WCW during the late-90s and into the beginning of 2000. Until Horowitz defeated Skip in a Wrestling Challenge episode in June 1995, he hadn't won a televised WWF match in his entire eight years with the promotion. In his entire decade with the WWF, he won a total of five televised matches, and then went on to have a 0-50-3 record with WCW. That's one of the worst win/loss records of all-time. Despite the poor record, Horowitz was a fine in-ring worker. He had the innate ability to make all of his opponents look great in the ring, which is why he was chosen for the role he had. Nobody would ever claim that he was World Title material, but if you go back and look at the year-by-year rosters, Barry was almost always one of the better workers. Unfortunately (or, perhaps, fortunately) for him, every promotion needs "enhancement talent" to help put others over, and he was chosen for that during his career.
