Guest Report post Posted March 25, 2002 Yes, it's very true that those gentleman need to learn from the master of jobbing, Barry Horowitz. In the wrestling world today, with wrestlers constantly trading wins, and backstage pull.. the WWF does not realize why they are slumping currently.. the lost art of jobbery. I long for the days when the Intercontinental Title would be fought for on SuperStars.. where an old, polished, well-known veteran would fight a no name that fought his way up for nowhere. So, for the big shots like HHH & Austin, you may think you're all that.. but it takes much more gumption to LOSE like a man, than WIN like a bitch. Our Hero, Barry Horowitz needs to sit down with these young rapscallions, and teach them a thing or so.. about respect for the business, and respecting the art of jobbery. Because in the long run, we remember, and love... The Jobbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted March 25, 2002 Barry was the man. He even put on decent matches in his time in the GWF.. or whatever fed he was in at the time ESPN showed wrestling. He won only 1 damn match.. and still was entertaining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Human Fly Report post Posted March 25, 2002 When he had his mini push in the WWF it seemed to end really fast. Was there any reason for that, or was it only supposed to be a little thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Some Guy Report post Posted March 25, 2002 It seems really simple to me. Find a guy you want to push- give him clean wins over increasingly bigger and bigger stars -listen to the crowd and check the ratings, if they're good keep having the guy win- and then out the title on him so he can job it cleanly to the next guy to be pushed up the ladder. Seems simple, almost too simple to screw up. Horriwitz was tha man, way better than Brooklyn Brawler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have to be careful not to go too far though, or you might end up with Goldberg, a wrestler you can't job because he has nothing to stand on but his lack of losses.

I know, I forgot to right that all the matches can't be squashes and the guy should have at least a decent workrate and more than a year or 2 in the business. Goldberg would have been ok if he didn't lose to Nash, didn't lose till his heat started dwindling and he lost cleanly. Bret Hart would have been a good choice to go over him IMO, because he could've carried him to a decent-good match and he would have jobbed the belt back clean as a whistle to Goldberg at a future PPV. The 1st loss should have been a good thing for him, it would have made him more human and the chase to get the belt back would have made him even more over.
