Horowitz was a jobber, but they were actually working an on/off lowercard angle with him and Candido at the time. Plus in the 96 Rumble you had Michaels, Diesel, Yoko, Vader, Owen, etc...the first Rumble was *filled* with guys who never made it above JTTS. Duggan and Muraco were the biggest names (at the time) in the match.
