"Ask Vince" - 90s star unsure why he is not in Vince McMahon's WWE Hall of Fame
Former WWE Superstar Barry Horowitz says only Vince McMahon knows why he has not been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
Horowitz, 62, spent eight years in WWE between 1987 and 1995. Best known for his lengthy losing streaks, Horowitz competed in more than 700 matches for Vince McMahon’s company. He also wrestled against high-profile names including Triple H, The Ultimate Warrior, and The Undertaker.
Speaking on the Such Good Shoot podcast, Horowitz said he regularly gets asked about his coaching status and Hall of Fame omission. He believes WWE Chairman Vince McMahon is ultimately responsible for him not being a Hall of Famer yet.
“And I swear, this must be every other person,” Horowitz said. “‘Why aren't you a coach? And how come you're not in the Hall of Fame?’ Why aren't I a coach? And why am I not in the Hall of Fame? Well, the only thing, I'll just give it quick: ask Vince.”
One of Horowitz’s career highlights came on the July 9, 1995 episode of Wrestling Challenge. He defeated Bodydonna Skip (w/Sunny) to end his lengthy WWE winless run.
Could Barry Horowitz still join Vince McMahon’s WWE Hall of Fame?
WWE Untold (The Nexus), WWE Icons (Lex Luger), and Broken Skull Sessions (Kevin Nash) were due to air on the WWE Network over the last month. However, all three episodes were dropped from the schedule at short notice.
A documentary about Barry Horowitz was also due to air on the WWE Network, but the premiere was delayed due to WWE's deal with Peacock.
“The WWE did a documentary of me in December, which was supposed to premiere in June,” Horowitz said. “But according to creative powers, it was either an hour or two hours, that's pushed back because of the Peacock thing, of course.”
Regarding the WWE Hall of Fame, Horowitz said he hopes his WWE Network documentary could lead to him being inducted one day.
