July 7, 201114 yr Author comment_5476124 Good to see Gilbert doing something different than the King of Philly crap. Gilbert announces that he is re-forming the First Family in Global. Gilbert asks Barry Horowitz to join him and Horowitz is ecstatic. Gilbert presents Horowitz with a Winners belt as a gift.
July 9, 201114 yr comment_5476262 Very Memphis style angle. When was Gary Young in the First Family? That had to have been 88 right?
August 3, 201114 yr comment_5478641 Horowitz was a load of fun here. He doesn't get the chance to shine often, but when he does he usually delivers.
August 26, 201213 yr comment_5513465 Gilbert calling the stable the First Family threw me off a bit, I thought he was referring to Jimmy Hart's old stable in Memphis. I always thought Gilbert's group was called Hot Stuff International. Anyhoo, this was fun for what it was. Barry's reaction to the invite was funny, and I was half expecting Eddie to cheap shot him and bring out someone else.
February 5, 201312 yr comment_5533559 Hot Stuff touts Sting and Rick Steiner as former proteges and invites Barry Horowitz into First Family. Pretty simple stuff, but Eddie's always fun on the mic.
June 30, 201312 yr comment_5549458 Gilbert talks of all the great wrestling armies, while keeping it Texas-centered. He's reforming the greatest group of all, the First Family--and Barry Horowitz is shocked to find out that he's the first new member! Gilbert presents Horowitz with the "Winner's Belt," which looks like a piece of velcro with a button taped on the front and some glitter on it. Horowitz barely gets to say anything but his reactions and dumb confusion are good.
December 11, 20159 yr comment_5714755 Nice little segment from Eddie. I thought he was going to Pearl Harbor Barry too, but that would have been painfully obvious, so I'm glad they avoided it. I wonder if Young was coming back to Global and they were trying anything they could to build to a Young/Gilbert feud, because I don't recall any association between the two of them at any time. Eddie reminding us that he'd managed Rick Steiner and Sting was a good way to establish credibility for himself in a place he'd never managed before. Invoking the Freebirds and Devastation was a nice touch as well, though I wonder just how proud anyone was of what the Freebirds had become by now. Barry's disbelief and joy made the segment. I wonder how long this angle lasted, because it seems that Barry's ripe to be turned on sooner rather than later. The Winner's belt was a nice touch, although from what little I could see it looked like something a kid may make for an art project.
August 14, 20178 yr comment_5810708 Hot stuff is forming a stable and Horowitz is tickled pink to be included. I liked this a good deal and agree with Charles that watching the King of Philly was the last thing I saw Eddie do going through one of these sets and this feels much more fresh even if it is a Memphis-esque ripoff.
March 5, 20187 yr comment_5834421 Barry Horowitz makes this for me. He's just so good at being the guy who has never won anything and can't believe this is happening. I expected Eddie to clock him too.
