Barry Horowitz, when working under the name Barry Hart was the greatest jobber in the great sport of professional wrestling. He always gave the impression that somehow, someway he could win. Of course, Hart was always brutally crushed and defeated. He was able to lose with a complete loss of dignity, his opponant totally humiliating him. His bout with Black Jack Mulligan was the greatest job of jobbing ever jobbed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.22.144.42 (talk) 05:00, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deletions

Editor Bull has deleted the see also section over the consensus of other editors. There is no consensus support for the deletion. The use of "see also" to point to a list is appropriate. See WP:SEEALSO. It states:"Links included in the "See also" section may be useful for readers seeking to read as much about a topic as possible, including subjects only peripherally related to the one in question”. I would ask him not to edit war; many thanks in advance.--Epeefleche (talk) 01:52, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Horowitz wins from the 1980s:

I found multiple victories registered by Barry Horowitz at WWE house shows in the late 1980s, including Ken Shamrock. This was probably a spot fill-in, and likely the same Shamrock who went on to UFC and WWE fame. Shamrock began his rookie career in 1989 wrestling for the South Atlantic Pro Wrestling promotion^[1]. The match cited took place in Greensboro, NC, so it's reasonable to assume they are one and the same.

The match results cited can be found at the history of wwe website:

Horowitz win table

Barry's biggest moment was his upset win over Chris Candido in 1995. It was billed as his first victory, although the interesting thing is how many times he had won in WWE (and even WCW) prior to that. Like the Bill Goldberg win streak table on his page, this table documents the otherwise unknown success that Horowitz had experienced. And it's in a nice, easily collapsible table, so I do not see the purpose of arbitrarily deleting it saying that "Wikipedia isn't the place for this." No other site has the comprehensive list. So please, leave it alone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marino73 (talk • contribs) 04:20, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
