Wrestling fans of the 1980s-2000s certainly know Barry Horowitz. Now, thanks to Wrestling is My Gimmick: My Life on the Wrong Side of the Three-Count, Barry's upcoming autobiography, we can all learn a lot more about him.
The title is a wink at his role in the WWF. Barry often made others look great, while he absorbed a loss. Barry not only accepted his role in the WWF, he embraced it. Not everyone can be the champ. Th Harlem Globetrotters need the Washington Generals. Many WWF wrestlers needed men like Barry.
While he mostly played that role in the WWF, he did have several big wins, including beating Lanny Poffo and Bodydonna Skip (Chris Candido), among others. He also won titles in other companies.
In our interview, Barry discusses all of this. He is completely at peace with his career. He is too humble to outwardly say he is very proud of what he did, but I am sure he is and rightly so. en like Barry were the backbone of the companies back then. Maybe Barry was ahead of his time. Either way, there is no bitterness from Barry
I really enjoyed this interview. Barry looks so relaxed and was very positive. It was a real pleasure talking to him.
You can watch the interview at On the Beat with Barry Horowitz. Also, look for his book on Amazon or any major book seller.
