Roster
 3-Dark Barry Horowitz debut at Royal Rumble 1993

## Jobber to the stars(1987-1992)

Barry Horowitz debuted at Superstars 100 losing against One Man Gang in a King of the Ring quarter finals match. Throught the weeks, Horowitz served as a jobber to the bigger stars and this was basically his main role throught all of his run. At Superstars 115, he asked for the chance to be in Hogan's Survivor Series team which he accepted. At Survivor Series Ricky Steamboat, Virgil, Butch Reed and Harley Race defeated Hogan, Koko B.Ware, Ultimate Warrior and Barry Horowitz

Horowitz said he wanted a chance at Steamboat's IC title shot which Steamboat accepted laughing, Steamboat squashed Horowitz at SNME December 1987

At Royal Rumble 1988, he was the special guest ref on the WWF Championship match between Ted Dibiase and Sting, he was chosen by Sting as the most neutral guy on WWF who would never do anything immoral

Horowitz got his first win ever at Superstars 135 beating Don Muraco, Muraco demanded respect for his name but Horowitz said no one is beaten by him so that is proof of how much Muraco sucks. At King of the Ring, Horowitz defeated Muraco with a rollup in 25 seconds

Horowitz won the 24/7 Championship leading up to Survivor Series, at the show Rick Rude defeated him in a lumberjack match to win it back

At Wrestlemania 5, he was in the 6 men million dollar title ladder match which was won by Virgil

At Survivor Series 1990, Horowitz stepped up as Mike Rotunda returned and did an open challenge, Rotunda squashed him

He was drafted to Smackdown as their second to last pick in the 1992 draft. He had his first match at Smackdown 4 against the debuting Doink The Clown who acted like a maniac and almost broke Horowitz's neck starting the biggest story of Horowitz's career

He decided to try and make his career great as he wanted to join Dibiase's new Million Dollar C orporation, he didn't stand for what Dibiase was doing as a heel but he wanted to revitalize his career, Dibiase put him on a bunch of tests. The last test was at In Your House 3 as he had to defeat Dibiase's former lackey Virgil but as Horowitz climbed to the top rope, Dibiase threw him out and beat him up as Virgil was the one who joined MDC

At Smackdown 16, he faced Dibiase but it ended in a DQ as MDC interfered. At In Your House 4, he faced Dibiase yet again, he's doing well when suddenly a red balloon shows up from under the ring, Horowitz stares at it and gets rolled up by Dibiase, the lights go out and they come back on to the sight of Doink choking out Horowitz in the ring

## Demon vs Slave(1992-1994)

Horowitz started trying to gather people as he knew how dangerous Doink was and needed everyone's help as he asked Jerry Lawler, Jeff Jarrett and Million Dollar Corporation themselves. Horowitz gave a quick backstory on the character of Doink The Clown and how they were related:  He was friends with normal him as a kid, whose name was Matt Borne, he had a clown for his birthday party, the clown suddenly went haywire and bit his eye off and he saw Horowitz watch it all happen and not doing anything. That clown went to jail but Matt Borne was never the same again as he started dressing up like a clown to hide his missing eye and slowly went crazy, Doink has been tormenting Horowitz for the past 24 years, balloons popping, evil laughs surrounding him in the strangest times, he didn't realize who Doink was until he murdered that child because it was the exact same scenario that had happened 24 years ago. Horowitz knows Doink has to be defeated or he will take over Smackdown and potentially WWF and he's the only one who knows his weak spots and can stop him but he needs people's help.

At Survivor Series it was a complete massacre as Doink defeated 6 men in a handicap elimination match, the match ended with everyone down outside of the ring except for Horowitz who saw a broken picture of himself in the ring, about 50 red baloons fly towards the sky, they all pop and Doink jumps from the top rope and chokes out Horowitz to the lights flickering, they go out and come back on as both men have disappeared and all that's left is a red baloon with Horowitz's broken picture attached to it flying onto the sky signaling that Barry Horowitz is dead.

At Royal Rumble 1993, at number 16 Barry Horowitz made his return but with a completely dark outfit and new gimmick as he choked out and eliminated IRS and then disappeared through the lights. At Smackdown 37, he answered Randy Savage's world title open challenge and shocked the world as he was basically Doink with all the teleporting and choking out, the match ended with Horowitz disappearing yet again. Doink reveals that he has cleared Horowitz of the light within him and slowly his next steps will be revealed.

They continue playing mind games on Million Dollar Corporation, at Wrestlemania 9 Doink and Horowitz defeated IRS and Virgil in a tag match

At In Your House 7, Doink and Horowitz defeated STeiner Brothers to win the vacant world tag titles, later on the night Doink became Mr.Money in the Bank as they continue to terrify the whole Smackdown roster with Doink's big plan of taking over Smackdown. At In Your House 8, Horowitz got a world title match and his first ever PPV main event but was defeated by The Undertaker.

At Summerslam, Yokozuna(who had been captured by Doink a year prior and brainwashed to the point where he froze everytime he saw Doink) managed to overpower the brainwashing as he beat up Horowitz and Doink but still lost to them in a tag team match. At G1 Finals, due to Doink not having power over Yokozuna anymore, he gave up their match as he forfeited the tag titles to Yokozuna and Duane Gill.

At Survivor Series, Undertaker was defending his world title against Sycho Sid when Doink cashed in turning it into a triple threat and became world heaviweight champion. Doink kidnapped a close friend of Taker, Bam Bam Bigelow and tied him to a chair in the sewers as Horowitz was the security guard there attacking Undertaker everytime he showed up, they brainwashed Bam Bam as well but just to play mind games on Taker, when they didn't need that anymore they left him passed out in the sewers as he returned to his true form but Undertaker and  Bam Bam started working together to take down Doink

At Wrestlemania 10, Horowitz was in the inaugural lightheaviweight title ladder match which was won by Koko B.Ware

Taker tried to win back the world title from Doink but failing at every chance, Bam Bam said that they would need to unleash plan B. At Smackdown 92, the plan started as Bam Bam faced Undertaker in a match just so Doink could start his mind games, Doink sent Horowitz to choke them out but almost all of the Smackdown roster came out tying Horowitz down to the ground as they successfully kidnapped him.

Over the weeks, Taker and Bam Bam tried to make Horowitz remember who he was and his whole goal of destroying Doink before he was enslaved(because only Horowitz knew his tricks and could do it). It looked like the plan failed as at Smackdown 98, Doink found the secret spot where Horowitz was hidden, Bam Bam offered him a match against Undertaker again with no interferences, if Doink won they would give up Horowitz, if they won, Doink would stop his plan, he agreed but at Smackdown 100 he saved Horowitz anyways as they led an ambush against Taker and Bam Bam. At Summerslam, Undertaker failed to defeat Doink but after the match the plan was a success as Barry Horowitz choked out Doink and got rid of his enslavement and shook hands with Taker and Bam Bam.

Doink was pissed at this saying Barry had no idea what he had just unleashed, he will never be stronger than Doink and he will send him right to hell. Horowitz became one of the most popular guys on the roster during this time with the biggest push of his career, he refused to use his powers towards anyone who wasn't Doink, he was in a match against The Undertaker in which the winner would win the Smackdown Block of the G1, Undertaker got a mic and said that he has never been able to beat Doink and Horowitz is the only man in this brand that can defeat the undefeatable so he laid down and let Horowitz pin him. Even so, at G1 Finals British Bulldog defeated Horowitz to win the G1

Horowitz decided to be the captain of team Smackdown as another way to get Doink in a match, at Survivor Series Horowitz, Undertaker, Bam Bam and Mr.Perfect defeated Lex Luger, Jim Neidhart, Tatanka and Bob Backlund. On the Survivor Series lottery, Horowitz did not get a world title match, only a european which disappointed everyone but Perfect was willing to switch his world title match for his european just so Horowitz could face Doink, Horowitz refused saying that it doesn't need to be a title match, he just needs to face Doink and get rid of this demon. GM of SD Harley Race gave it to him in an unsanctioned match at In Your House 15.

Horowitz and Doink had a face to face where Horowitz said he knew Matt Borne was no longer there, his face might be underneath the costume but his soul was taken over by the monster that is Doink and says he'll defeat him no matter the consequences, Doink says Matt Borne is dead and Horowitz is next, he gave him everything he needed and Horowitz spit on him, so at In Your House 15 he will make sure he doesn't leave the show alive.

At In Your House 15, the whole show is about that one match as the arena is splattered with stuff about Doink and Horowitz, the match itself is amazing as Horowitz goes overboard trying to kill Doink, in the finish he puts a lot of tables on fire,ladders there,barbed wire,everything outside the ring,Doink teleports to the stage,Horowitz drops to his knees for Doink to kill him,Doink gets close to him,laughs,is about to uranage him into basically hell(all the tables on fire and ladders and barbed wire stacked),when lights go out,Horowitz is in the ring,lights go out again,Doink is behind him,Doink runs towards him,Horowitz grabs him in a suplex,HE JUMPS OVER THE TOP ROPE,THEY JUST GO THROUGH HELL TOGETHER,HOROWITZ STARTS PUTTING MORE AND MORE STUFF ON TOP TO REALLY MAKE SURE HE'S DEAD,the lights slowly stop the red and slowly go back to normal signaling the death of Doink The Clown,Horowitz is regretting it and takes all of the stuff out to see Matt Borne there,no paint on his face,no nothing,just Matt Borne,Horowitz's childhood friend,Horowitz is just saying im sorry as he leaves but as he reaches the stage he collapses ending this feud and this arc for good.

The RAW and Smackdown after are dedicated to Barry Horowitz who died in that battle and is now called the savior of WWF for killing Doink

## Brought back to life(1996-1999)

In the september 3rd 1996 episode of RAW, Undertaker was now a full fledged heel with a faction of people that embraced the darkness, Ministry of Darkness, but no one knew exactly why Taker had formed that group until he kidnapped a local talent saying it was sacrifical lamb to bring back his hero as he shows a picture of Barry Horowitz but he fails multiple times to sacrifice people to bring him back

On the RAW before Wrestlemania 14, Undertaker dragged The Godwins to the ring as MOD sacrificed them bringing back Barry Horowitz to life, he immediatly had a match against Taker's brother Kane but this seemed to be the pre-Doink version of Horowitz as he lost within a minute

Horowitz did not understand the state of WWF, in a comedy segment he said ", I don't understand the state of WWF right now, and Taker will not give me clear answers, he keeps talking about making the higher power happy and we're gonna takeover this show, and i see demons and fire and rituals, and I'm happy to be with one of the biggest forces in wrestling :)" Slowly it starts getting revealed that Horowitz has no memory of what happened between 1992-1998 and this is a version of him that only remembers until 1991. Taker says his hero is disappointing him but they will harness power for Horowitz to become what he once was.

Undertaker starts choking out people which always triggers headaches on Horowitz's head, Mankind starts mentioning Doink The Clown to him which gives him even bigger headaches, at Royal Rumble 1999 Horowitz entered at number 21 and tried to eliminate Taker, Taker punched him hard and eliminated him but he wasn't done as he kept beating him up, did a tombstone on the stage and chokeslammed him off the stage

During his weeks off to treat his injuries, Mankind gave him the tapes of the lost years throught 91 onto 97 as Horowitz got his memory back of everything, he says Taker's time that he spent working on plans to eliminate Doink were useless as he called Taker an even bigger monster than Doink was, Taker was pissed at hearing this from his former hero and wants to bury him alive at Wrestlemania. Taker said that Horowitz is expecting to face another Doink but the truth is he's neither Doink and this is not the same Horowitz, a Horowitz who watched himself do that on camera is not the same as the one who experienced it, something went wrong with the sacrifice bringing back a weaker version of Horowitz and now he'll bury him back but this time alive. At Wrestlemania 14, Taker basically squashed Horowitz and buried him alive
