In WWE history, Barry Horowitz is likely to be the most well-known name amongst the realms of enhancement talents.

Horowitz spent years losing matches in WWE, first joining the company in 1990 and spending the better part of ten years there. For the most part, he was beaten in any singles or tag team match in which he featured, though he did occasionally pick up a win against a low-level wrestler on live events here and there.

Barry Horowitz: WWE's biggest loser?

While he likely lost many hundreds of matches whilst with WWE, it's Horowitz who can actually lay claim to one of the biggest upsets in the history of the company, too. It came in the summer of 1995 against the cocky and arrogant Skip of the Body Donnas.

A fitness freak, Skip would often taunt his opponent by stopping mid-match to undertake his exercise routines. He took this one step too far, however, when choosing to do a set of push-ups during a match with Horowitz, and paid the price when the underdog rolled him up for the pin!

It started the first and only push of Horowitz's WWE career, and even led to a high-profile SummerSlam match that year, too!
