Barry Horowitz: A Jobber who made it in Pro Wrestling!!
In The Mid- 1980's The WWF as had alot of Jobber's in their organization. You ask what is a Jobber.. It's Quiet simple really!! A Jobber is a Wrestler who make the Superstars look good. Every Organization has one or two in pro wrestling.
But in the WWE they had a jobber who made a record on losing every match he was in until in 1995, that record was finished and a new winning record started, his name is Barry Horowitz. ha ha ha ha.. Barry Horowitz was a jewish wrestler who worked for vince mcmahon in the WWF. Barry had some memorable matches, what a minute.... barry never had memorable matches, He lost all of them!!
Barry had a trade mark before he started his matches, he use to pat himself on his back. Silly Trade mark!! Barry wrestled Hulk Hogan, Macho man randy savage, bret hart, bad news brown, the red rooster(Terry Taylor), andre the giant, big john studd, and the list goes on and on.
Barry also had tag team matches, he wrestled demolition, the hart foundation, the rockers, strike force, the british bulldogs. He also had a losing record in tag team matches.. if i didn't tell you this i appologize. hahahahahah!!!!
Anyways over the years barry got alot of respect from his peers as a jobber, but in 1995 on a episode of Monday Night Raw barry's fortune changed completely....
Barry wrestled Chris Candeno(Skip of the body donnas) and won using a cradle roll up move for the one.. two.. three count and made as i would like to call it Barry Horowitz History!!!!
Barry horowitz went on to wrestle on pay-per-view events and a few other matches before he'd retire in 1996.
Enclosing as a wrestling fan i've seen almost all of barry horowitz matches and laughed at all of them, but when barry finally won, it gave all of the future jobbers a reason to dream, and acheive the ultimate goall in pro wrestling. Success!!!
Barry Horowitz 2-5 record....

This is the undertaker's Wrestlemania undefeated streak.. The longest streak in WWE History!!
18-0... The most Dominate Force is pro wrestling, since Andre The Giants 15 year undefeated reign. But what is it going to cost the man, who was behind this undefeated streak. The Undertaker has had a memorable career, and quiet honestly the Best Ever. But what is it going to cost the undertaker!!! Pain.. Misery... Injuries... Suffering... Til this day the Fans of the WWE want more... They want more defeats, more misery, and more pain... Last year's Wrestlemania win over shawn michaels is going to go down in history as one of the greatest matches that the undertaker has ever had. But last year the undertaker has shown me something that i havent seen before in him. Weakness!!! The undertakers Weakness is his Age!! He is getting old, and tiring down, in the past the undertaker would show his dominance, but last year... he showed me that time is running out for him. Andre the Giant showed the same thing when he was alive...
Andre was big, and strong, and dominate, but over the years past he showed the same result, he was getting old, and tiring down. So the 15 year reign of the giant ended at Wrestlemaina III against Hulk hogan. The undertaker is going to fight kane... Been there, done that!!
Kane has been defeated by the Undertaker twice at wrestlemania... Boring!!! is there anyone who can give the undertaker some competition... anyone????? i guess not... you know why, because the undertaker has beaten them all... But one!!! Bret The hitman Hart.... bret hart has never fought the Undertaker at Wrestlemania.... Hint.. Hint.. if the Undertaker wants to go out in style he would face the one person he has never defeated one on one.. if he doesn't then this 18-0 would just be 18-0 and nothing will change... now i know bret hart is old and he doesn't wrestle the same, so what!! have a No Hold barred Match... Trust me... this will be a good match for Wrestlemania... Both men has to be around the same age...
well enclosing The undertaker has had a great career and the streak continues, but when will it finally end!!! only time will tell... who knows maybe it will never end.

Vince McMahon Where Are You Now.....
Vince Mcmahon, son of the late Vince Mcmahon Senoir, and owner of The World Wrestling Entertainment. Vince Mcmahon start out in the WWWF back in the 70's as a Commentor/anouncer, working for his father and watching the WWWF grow into what would later become his Greatest Creation in life. The WWWF has been in the mcmahon family for years, from his grandfather to his father, and later it was bestowed on to him. In the early 1980's Vince mcmahon senoir died, and the WWWF was handed over to his son vince mcmahon jr.
Vince mcmahon took over the WWWF shortly after his fathers death, and enharided his father's fortune and made his father's company bigger then what his father had invisioned it to be.
He also brought back a familiar face back into the WWWF, his name was Terry Boelia aka Hulk Hogan, and brought Hulkamania to main stream sindication to primetime television. In March of 1985, Vince Mcmahon created a pay-per-view event that would lead a generation of legends into immortality that event is Wrestlemania!!
Wrestlemania.
Wrestlemania become the wrestling symbol of the WWF in early march of 1985 created by vince mcmahon, the venue was madison square garden, and a sold out crowd awaiting history in the making. The first Wrestlemania was a star studded event, stars like Mohammed Ali, Cindy lopper, Liberachi, Billy martin, and rodio city's own Rodkettes. The main event was a tag team match between Hulk Hogan & Mr. T against Rowdy Roddy Piper & Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff. The Remaining Card was a $50.000 Dollar Slam match pitting Two Of wrestling Hall of Famers, Andre The Giant vs. Big john studd, also you had the WWF Womens Championship Leilani Kai defeading against Wendy Ricter, You had Barry windham & Mike Rotunda vs. The Iron Sheak & Nicoli Volkoff for the WWF tag team Championship, plus other matches include greg valentine vs. the junkyard dog for the intercontinental Championship, Brutus beefcake vs. David Samartino, tito santanna vs. the exicutioner, and S.D Special Delivery Jones vs. king kong Bundy. Wrestlemania would host almost every city in the united states and Hold's a Indoor attendence record of 93,757 people at Wrestlemania III.
Vince mcmahon has created not only Wrestlemania, But a few others like Summerslam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, and a pleathera of other events. Vince mcmahon created Monday Night Raw witch began in 1993 and is still going on reaching an historic 900th Episode next week on monday night. Before monday night raw, vince brought another televised event called Saturday night's Main Event witch aired every other saturday night.(1985-1995)
Later vince mcmahon would get involve in a storyline in late 1997 and change the face of wrestling history, it was called the montreal screw job, and it would involve bret hart, shawn michaels, and vince mcmahon. the storyline was a birth of vince mcmahon ego called Mr. Mcmahon and he would be the Ultimate Heel to his company and start a war with stone cold steve austin that would last almost three years.
Vince mcmahon also create what was later a fan favorite moment called The Kiss my Ass club, inducting wrestlers like William Regal, Paul Heyman, and others, but it wouldn't last very long....
Vince mcmahon would make enemy's with stone cold steve austin, the rock, shawn michaels, triple h, and others in the WWE.
Steriods & Death Toll.
Vince Mcmahon would have some legal court battle with the government on Steriods and elegal drugs. Steriods has been a thorn in Vince mcmahons side for almost his entire life, as he would soon see the consiquences and the death toll that would ultimately take his entire wrestling roster of the 1980's. Such wrestlers like Hercules Hernandez, Bam Bam Bigalow, Ravishing Rick Rude, Curt Henning, Eddie Guerrero, Brain pillman, British Bulldog Davy Boy Smith, Chris candinno, Chris benoit, and the latest lance cade. Vince mcmahon has suffered alot as far as deaths in the WWE, but one of the deaths hit him hard that really got to him and later announce's that the real victims are the fans of the WWE.
The death of Chris Benoit & The Possible Future of the WWE.
On the day of Chris Benoit's Death fans & Colleages, were studded and confused over the death of their fallen friend Chris Benoit. Speculation arose when Chavo Guerrero got a text messege from chris about his dogs running around the outside of the house. Chris benoit was scheduled to wrestle on a pay-per-view event later that day, but never shown up. Chavo told vince that something was terribly wrong and that the police would have to go to chris benoit house.
the police arrived and found a disturbing scence, Nancy Benoit & her son dead in there rooms with a bible at their side, and later chris benoit's body was found in the basement of his house.
Chris benoit was hanging from the ceiling, chaos erupted in atlanta georgia, as to what killed chris benoit and his family. In a episode of monday night raw, vince mcmahon annouces the death of chris benoit in a empty arena that was suppose to hold more than a couple a thousand people.
Vince's Tribute to Chris benoit was on the night of a 3-hour special edition of raw. The tribute was broad casted too early, as later on next morning the cause of chris benoit death was revealed, chris benoit had murdered his wife & his son then himself in a two week span.
vince mcmahon would later make another announcement of then thursday night smackdown, on what would be considered a shocking and disturbing message that would ultimately change vince mcmahons life & the WWE. Vince announce that the consiquences regarding chris benoit's death was a direct result of a vicious act by mr. benoit and that the real victims were the fans of the WWE, Further more the WWE will in fact remove and destroy all information on chris benoits career and other info regarding mr. benoit on WWE websites ect. After this announcement the WWE was headed down a road that they couldn't come back from, and that the death of chris benoit casted a dark shadow on the WWE. the augtopcy report indicated that chris suffered brain damage from his wrestling matches and a very large amount of steriods and perscription drugs were in his system. So the Question at that time was..... Was chris benoit a murderer, or a victim of wrestling steriod horror... Christopher Nowenski was a former wwe wrestler who suffered a neck injury that ended his wrestling career. Christopher was a friend of chris benoit, and he took chris benoits brain to a doctor in chicago, to get a second opinion on what killed chris benoit. the results show that chris benoit suffered brain treama and had a condition that resulted on the damage suffered in his brain. In a letter sent to the police department in atlanta georgia, was a copy of the report of chris benoit's third augtopcy, and states that chris benoit was not responsible for his families death and that his brain was in the shape of a 90 year old man.
Chris benoit murder case was closed...
So the question is why did vince mcmahon destroy any evidence regarding chris benoit wrestling for the WWE? and does vince hold any responsiblity to what happened? and could he have prevented it?
Well in my opinion Yes and No, and let me explain when vince mcmahon found out about chris benoit death, he was quick to pull the trigger with out find out the reason why he died. Vince Quickly made a tribute in his memory, then was publicly Humilated so as pay back he destroyed any information regarding chris benoit involvement in the WWE and destroyed all of his acomplishments plus was taken off of WWE websites. As far as chris benoits death is concerned, no he's not repsonsible for his death, but he was employed by vince mcmahon and the WWE.
The WWE has suffered alot of setbacks as far as weak pay-per-view marketing, and WWE Star appearences, since chris benoits death. Storylines has took a huge plunge on wrestling matches, but the WWE is still on top of the wrestling world, But for how long......
Vince mcmahon has done alot, gave alot, and suffered greatly in the past, but there is one question that still til this day is where is vince mcmahon? Vince mcmahon has not been on television since his brutal attack from Nexus on monday night raw... So where is vince mcmahon
and when will he return, or is he ever going to return?????

The Undertaker: How Long Can He Go On !!!
The Undertaker Mark Calloway is the Phenom of the WWE , he is also the bearer of the undefeated streak at wrestlemania of 18-0. He is a multiple World Champion, a former tag team champion, former WWE champion, and the most popular superstar in pro wrestling. The undertaker started out as mean mark calloway in WCW,and he was managed by Paul heyman aka Paul E. Dangerously, he also was a member of the famous tag team the sky scrapers as a substitue for an injured sid vicious in 1990. Marks Career in WCW was short lived as he was released from his contract. Mark would return to pro wrestling in november of 1990 at the WWF Survivor Series in a elimination tag team match, his character would strike fear into his opponents as he would be announced as the undertaker with his new manager Brother love.
During his match the undertaker was dominate as he eliminated his oponents one by one, until dusty rhodes went after brother love for revenge, but the undertaker was right behind him for the asssualt. the undertaker was unfortonatly eliminated by count out but the undertaker didn't care. After the Survivor Series the undertaker would continue his dominance by burying his defeated opponents, then the undertaker would soon get a new manager, one that was creeper than he is... paul Bearer would fit the bill for the undertaker... A match made in Hell sort a speaking...hahahahaha. Anyways the undertaker would be a heel for most of his career, then turn face for more than 10 years. The undertakers Undefeated streak started at Wrestlemania VII by defeating Jimmy Superfly Snuka, and starting a dark form of dominance in the WWE for more than 20 years, and still counting, His record as we speak is 18-0, thats more than Andre the giants 15 year undefeated streak witch ended at Wrestlemania III against Hulk Hogan back in 1987. Mark Calloway has had alot of transformations as the undertaker.

The Undertaker has had a remarkable career and Injuries has had a painful toll to his body.
Over the years the undetaker has dazzled fans into wanting more, but as i've had said injuries has plaqued his career. The question on my mind is.... How Long can he continue to go? by now a normal wrestler would've retired by now, but something has drawn the undertaker to continue his dominance in the WWE. Could it be The streak... or the championship???? only time will tell.
The undertaker has nothing to look back on if he retires before Wrestlemania XXVII, but if you ask any fan, they would tell you that if the undertaker retires, the WWE would take a horrible plunge into extinction. In my opinion the undertaker should call it quits, and look Over the sun set, and say "It's over... I can now rest in peace." But the day the undertaker retire hell would frezze over and every fan would cry... But like The oracle say's in The matrix Revolutions...........
Everything that has a Beginning..... Has an End !!!! and the end of the undertaker is coming sooner than we think.

Randy Savage: A Lost Icon with a Brutal History!!!
Randy Savage The Macho man, one of the greatest wrestlers of 1980's,and the most reconized icon's in pro wrestling history. In 1980 Randy Savage was a rookie in sports drafted by the st. louis cardnals in major league baseball, randy never say playing time when it came to baseball.
Randy moved else where, and became a pro wrestler, Randy family history is wrestling, son of Angelo Pafo, and Brother to (leaping lenny, The Genius)lenny Pafo. Randy father was a Legend in The WWF in the early years of the WWWF owned by Vince Mcmahon Senior. Randy Joined the WWF in early 1985, as a Heel, and later Became Intercontinental Champion by defeating Tito Santanna at the Boston Garden. Randy had a manager at the time, her name was Elizabeth, she brought beauty and style to the career of the macho man, and at times used her as a ginny pig to distract his opponents. In 1986, randy meet a wrestler who would make randy's career shine and become a Future Headliner in the coming years, his name was Ricky Steamboat.
Ricky Steamboat at the time of his arrival was already reconized in pro wrestling, as a Superstar in the NWA owned by Jim Crockett. Randy & Ricky Jelled together right away, and at superstars of wrestling Randy would cement his career has the most hated wrestler in 1986, by injuring ricky by coming off the top rope and crushing ricky's larnix(his throut). Ricky Steamboat was out for a couple of months, but would return to face Randy in march of 87 at Wrestlemania III at the Silverdome at Pontiac Michigan for the Intercontinental Championship, and that match would steel the show and cement randy as a face in the coming months leading to Wrestlemania IV. Randy would become the WWF champion in a 14 man Elimination Tournament to decide a Undisputed WWF Champion by going threw four matches. Randy's reign as champion would last for a whole Year, and would end at the same place where he won it Wrestlemania V at atlantic city New Jersey against his former Mega powers partner Hulk Hogan. Randy became again the most hated wrestler once more by betraying Hulk at the main event telecast on NBC in a tag team match against The Twin Towers(Big Bossman& Hakeem the african dream). It was randy who become jealous because of elizabeths involvement in the team, that would destroy this dominent team in the WWF. Randy would stay in the WWF for about ten years then move on to WCW and join Hulk Hogan. Randy again would team with hulk and bring back the mega powers but without elizabeth. Randy lasted in WCW for almost a Decade then leave WCW to persue other interests, but would make a Cameo Appearence at TNA in Nashville Tennesie.
As the years went by randy would eventually retire from pro wrestling and start a Rap CD about his freindship with Hulk Hogan that would eventually start contriversy between the two. alot of fans wondered what ever happened to randy, and asked the Question, Will Randy Ever Be inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame? in my opinion randy does belong in the hall of fame, but The mcmahon famly has had problems with randy about certain thing relating to his career inthe WWF. Vince has stated that randy has ruined his career by betraying him during the Monday night wars between the WWF & WCW(1995-2001). But all due respect randy isn't the only one who hasn't been inducted as almost all of the WWF wrestlers in 1980's roster. But vince has Flirted with bring randy back for a last run to end his career in the WWE, but as a fan we don't know when that will happen.
Randy savage will forever go down as one of the greatest icons in pro wrestling history.
Macho-man Randy Savage(1985-1999).

Bret Hitman Hart: Wrestling with Shadows DVD.
In 1997 Thankgiving eve The World of the WWE and Pro Wrestling Experence a shocking Developement that would change the cource of wrestling history forever. Bret hart, Shawn michaels, and Vince Mcmahon would tell a story about Respect, Trust, and Betrayal. In The 1997 Survivor Series, Bret hart was scheduled to wrestle Shawn Michaels for the then WWF championship in a sold out montreal Civic Center in Montreal Canada. Rumors were going around the world of bret hart last match in the WWF for weeks prior to the Survivor Series, everyone didn't beleive it.This all started back a few years ago when Vince mcmahon offered bret hart a 20 year contract for alot of money for bret hart to stay in the WWF. Bret hart accept it, then a few days later bret hart got a call from eric bischoff with the same idea but a little different, eric offered bret alot of money but a shorter working period, bret hart told eric he'd have to think about it, then bret told vince about the phone call from eric bischoff and WCW, vince was shocked about it after accepting bret's contract for 20 million dollars.
A few months later bret told by vince to turn heel during a feud with stone cold steve austin, in hopes to build austin for a future WWE Championship reign in the near future, bret accept it, then on an episode of raw, bret hart turned heel by telling the american wrestling fans that because of their disrespect to him, for all of the american wrestling fans to kiss his a**. After raw shawn michaels was told to turn heel also, but declined because of the positive feedback he recieved during Summerslam. Vince had to tell bret to turn back to a face once more, but was very upset over the fact that he was being tossed back and forth. Vince also told bret that he'd have too lose the WWF title at the Survivor Series to Shawn at montreal. bret declined and said" I can't do that", so vince decided to do the one thing that still til this day shocked the Hell out of every wrestling fan in the WWF, he screw bret Hart in Montreal of the WWF championship, and Earl Hebner(Mr. Contriversal) help him do it.
til this day after 14 years Survivor Series has took a different meaning to pro wrestling and myself. Wrestling with Shadows gives you a clearer perspective on the event's that lead to this Contriversal moment. it also has a new documentary of life and death of owen hart as a added bonus, two documentaries, one DVD Collection.
This DVD collection is a must have for every bret hart fan......
Vince Russo: From Vic Venom to Wrestling Failer !!!
In pro wrestling you need a storyline, and you need a writer, Vince Russo is that writer...
Vince Russo has been a writer for pro wrestling for alot of years, he started in the WWE, then we went to WCW then to TNA. In The WWE vince has written alot of storyline's for alot of wrestlers over the years, but some of those storylines have been failers. The most famous storyline was the montreal screw job at the Survivor Series between bret hart, shawn michaels, and vince mcmahon. Vince has seen alot of superstars become great champions because of his work.
But if there was a failer in vince russo, it was at over the edge '99, Vince originaly wrote a storyline for the late Owen hart, where he would get involve with his manager Deborah Mcmichaels in a lovers affair, but owen declined the script to avoid family problems. Vince mcmahon was not happy with the outcome, so vince told Russo to write another script but this time it was a punishment for owen because of his decline of the storyline. Owen was going to portray his earlier characters the blue blazer. The script would be owens fate & russo's failer.
The out come at over the edge was shocking and saddened, owen hart died falling to his death infront of a sold out crowd. After the events that took owen life, vince russo had to experence public Humilation and finger pointing toward him and vince mcmahon forowen's death. The WWE was sued for alot of money for owens death, so the out come was a settlement of alot of money. Vince would have to live his entire life knowing that he was responsible for owen death and not the WWE. Vince Russo would eventually leave the WWE and go on to WCW and write for eric Bischoff, the Result was bad raitings and loss of millions of dollars, so vince took a hike and moved down south to Nashville Tennesie and joined dixie carter and jeff jarrett at NWA TNA. Vince Russo would be a writer once again and match booker, he would eventually form a stable group call S.E.X (Sports Entertainment Extreme) and reek havoc on the wrestling scene in 2003. Vince would make alot of money, and make alot of champions.
In 2004, Roddy Piper made a guest appearence on NWA-TNA hosting a special pipers pit segment where he talking about how he grew up as a young kid trying to make it in pro wrestling, he also talked about the WWE and their writers, one imperticuler Vince Russo, but what got me was a question that piper threw at Russo was "Russo did you write my cousin owen's death", that got me in the stomach like some puch the living sh*t out of me. The interview between piper & russo lasted for 30-minutes.
After the interview the question got to me, was vince russo responsible for owen harts death?
well my responce was i don't know!!
Hopfully that question will be answered in years to come, but only one man can answer that question and it's Vince Russo aka Vic Venom....

Recently The television championship has been Resurrected in TNA, AJ Styles on a episode of TNA Impact during an interview promo with fortune decided to rename a title that he won by defeating Rob taylor for the TNA Global Championship, AJ renamed the global title to the new Television championship. AJ Styles has yet to defend the newly renamed television championship!!
Enclosing the worlds television championship has had a long history, memorable moments, from the first blood match at Starrcade '86 between Dusty Rhodes vs. tully blanchard to Booker T vs. Rick Martel at the final Superbrawl.
In my opinion this title should not have been resurrected for TNA because of it's history of champions, and matches of the past. AJ styles being the television champion is only a trophy in tribute of tully blanchard & arn anderson when they held the title back in the 1980's.
The world television championship should stay retired...
