Veteran wrestler Barry Horowitz recently revealed his aversion for the term “jobber.” Known primarily for his role as enhancement talent in WWE, Horowitz shared his sentiments on the most recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast.
Horowitz expressed, “It’s belittling to be dubbed as a jobber. I understand that it’s part of wrestling terminology, but there’s nothing pleasing about it. Fans often mistake themselves for insiders, thinking they know things from what they read online or hear from various sources.”
He added, “The term has always been disrespectful to me. It’s demeaning and ignorant. Enhancement talent or star makers, like Tim Horner once called us, feels much more accurate and less offensive.”
In related news, Diamond Dallas Page has recalled a key event in his WCW career when he betrayed Scott Hall and Kevin Nash. Page discussed this memory and how it ignited his career trajectory in a recent conversation with “Undisputed Substack.”
Page divulged details behind his turning on Hall and Nash in January 1997. He revealed that he was disappointed with how the booking committee viewed him and was on the verge of leaving when he shared his idea of betraying Hall and Nash with Kevin, who loved it.
