[1992-04-03-GWF] Barry Horowitz vs Danny Davis

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Good match between two guys I'm guessing Jingus knows.

[Tim Evans]

I like Danny Davis but the commentary hurts this match. I guess they had Prichard mic'd? And I miss Craig Johnson.

Good match between a pair of pros. These guys deserved to get more time here.

This is a good TV match between a couple of under appreciated talents. Prichard on commentary took away from the match though.

[WingedEagle]

Maybe I'm biased from his Titan days, but everything about Horowitz, from the theme music and presentation to his presence screams jobber. After a quick start they slow it down and Davis wins the LHW title in what's presented as a big upset. Liked what I saw from Davis here but just can't get into Barry's act.

 

**1/2

A fine TV match, with some good matwork and good offense from Horowitz. I get annoyed by heel announcers who don't do anything except complain about imaginary violations by the babyface, and that's exactly what Prichard does here.

Actually, I was more annoyed by the play-by-play guy than I was by Bruce. Bruce kept trying everything he could to engage the guy in some sort of give-and-take, but Webb just doggedly plowed ahead in calling the match as if he was afraid he'd completely lose his train of thought if he let himself be interrupted even for a second. He was definitely not a veteran wrestling commentator, and putting him in the booth with someone like Bruce was sort of unfair to him, truth be told. I wonder where Craig was this week.

 

As for the match, it was okay for a TV sprint, but if it hadn't been for the title change, it wouldn't have stood out at all. Barry's had a nice little run, but anyone who's seen both he and Davis wrestle can't possibly call this an upset. This wasn't a squash, but I always thought Davis would pull it out in the end.

 

Will Barry bounce back from this, or is he on a one-way trip back to Jobberville? I can't wait to find out over the next few weeks.

Good TV match between guys who know how to put a match together.  I like seeing Barry Horowitz get to be more than just a jobber for a while.  He isn't a great heel, but he's at least passable if not mildly good.
