'''Barry Horowitz''' (b. 1960) is an American {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er from St. Petersburg, UsefulNotes/{{Florida}} best known, unfortunately, for his long losing streak in Wrestling/{{WWE}} in the 1980s and 1990s. He started his career in 1979 in the Florida independent scene after training under Boris Malenko, and also worked in WWE, the NWA Mid-Atlantic, Puerto Rico and Canada. He returned to Florida in 1985 as "Jack Hart," where, on July 23, he defeated Mike Graham to win the vacant [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/fl/fl-h.html NWA Florida Heavyweight Title]]. He later worked in Memphis before returning to WWE in 1987, where he began his long losing streak. Following recuperation from a neck injury he suffered in early 1990, he switched to the Global Wrestling Federation in Texas, where he would defeat Jerry Lynn for the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/tx/gwf/gwf-lh.html GWF Light Heavyweight Title]] on February 7, 1992, a title he would lose to and, subsequently regain from, Ben Jordan by the end of the month. After the GWF collapsed, he returned to WWE and back to regular {{Jobb|er}}ing. This changed suddenly on the July 9 (taped June 28), 1995 ''WWF Wrestling Challenge'', where he shocked everyone by defeating Skip (Wrestling/ChrisCandido) (w[=/=][[Characters/WWEDivas Sunny]]), launching his first actual push in his various runs in WWE. He would subsequently defeat Skip again at ''Wrestling/{{SummerSlam}} 95'' before inevitably going back to jobbing again until he left in 1997. He then jumped to WCW and more jobbing, with one exception. He defeated "Mr. Hole-In-One" Barry Darsow on the October 31 (taped October 20), 1998 ''WCW Saturday Night'' by DQ when Darsow hit Horowitz over the back of his neck with the putter. He has subsequently worked for ''many'' independent promotions. He made his [=PPV=] debut at ''Wrestling/SurvivorSeries 93'' in the Hart Family ([[Wrestling/BretHart Bret]][=/=][[Wrestling/OwenHart Owen]][=/=]Bruce[=/=]Keith) vs. Shawn Michaels[[note]]A replacement for Wrestling/JerryLawler who was taken out of the match due to what would later be discovered to be a bogus rape charge[[/note]] and the Royal Knights (The Red Knight [Horowitz][=/=]The Blue Knight [Greg Valentine][=/=]The Black Knight [Jeff Gaylord]). He also competed for Wrestling/AllJapanProWrestling and won some matches there, even [[CueTheFlyingPigs getting to team]] with '''[[Wrestling/StanHansen STAN HANSEN]]''', and, on May 18, 1993, at ''AJPW Super Power Series 1993'', Day 5, he and Wrestling/DanSpivey '''[[CueTheFlyingPigs DEFEATED]]''' '''[[Wrestling/AbdullahTheButcher ABDULLAH THE BUTCHER]]''' and Giant Kamala II.

'''Barry Horowitz''' (b. 1960) is an American {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er from St. Petersburg, UsefulNotes/{{Florida}} best known, unfortunately, for his long losing streak in Wrestling/{{WWE}} in the 1980s and 1990s. He started his career in 1979 in the Florida independent scene after training under Boris Malenko, and also worked in WWE, the NWA Mid-Atlantic, Puerto Rico and Canada. He returned to Florida in 1985 as "Jack Hart," where, on July 23, he defeated Mike Graham to win the vacant [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/fl/fl-h.html NWA Florida Heavyweight Title]]. He later worked in Memphis before returning to WWE in 1987, where he began his long losing streak. Following recuperation from a neck injury he suffered in early 1990, he switched to the Global Wrestling Federation in Texas, where he would defeat Jerry Lynn for the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/tx/gwf/gwf-lh.html GWF Light Heavyweight Title]] on February 7, 1992, a title he would lose to and, subsequently regain from, Ben Jordan by the end of the month. After the GWF collapsed, he returned to WWE and back to regular {{Jobb|er}}ing. This changed suddenly on the July 9 (taped June 28), 1995 ''WWF Wrestling Challenge'', where he shocked everyone by defeating Skip (Chris Candido) (w[=/=][[Characters/WWEDivas Sunny]], launching his first actual push in his various runs in WWE. He would subsequently defeat Skip again at ''Wrestling/{{SummerSlam}} 95'' before inevitably going back to jobbing again until he left in 1997. He then jumped to WCW and more jobbing, with one exception. He defeated "Mr. Hole-In-One" Barry Darsow on the October 31 (taped October 20), 1998 ''WCW Saturday Night'' by DQ when Darsow hit Horowitz over the back of his neck with the putter. He has subsequently worked for ''many'' independent promotions. He made his [=PPV=] debut at ''Wrestling/SurvivorSeries 93'' in the Hart Family ([[Wrestling/BretHart Bret]][=/=][[Wrestling/OwenHart Owen]][=/=]Bruce[=/=]Keith) vs. Shawn Michaels[[note]]A replacement for Wrestling/JerryLawler who was taken out of the match due to what would later be discovered to be a bogus rape charge[[/note]] and the Royal Knights (Horowitz[=/=]The Blue Knight [Greg Valentine][=/=]The Black Knight [Jeff Gaylord]).
