Back in '95 Barry Horowitz beat one of the Bodydonnas. My question is, who did he beat to start his run in the WWF.
Barry Horowitz started his only real push in the WWF by defeating Bodydonna Skip who was Chris Candido.

Does anybody know where Shelton Benjamin has been? Injury? Time off? Contract? Lack of angle?

When Sting was out for a little over a year in 1996-1997, I know part of it was the storyline with him not having any type of allegience. Was there another reason they kept him out of the ring for so long?
Keeping Sting on the sidelines (actually in the rafters) was a brilliant move that led to a huge buyrate for his Starrcade match against Hollywood Hogan. Unfortunately, WCW totally blew it with the way they handled the booking of the match. Trying to get another big buyrate, they ended up holding the title up to set up a rematch at Superbrawl. Sting won that match, but the momentum had come to a screeching halt.

What happened to Don Callis from TNA and ECW?
Joey Styles answers: Upon completing his M.B.A., my good friend Don Callis left the unpredictable and unstable professional wrestling industry to begin a full time marketing career in his home of Winnipeg, Canada. He and I followed very similar paths out of the wrestling business.
