I feel like if his career was just moved 3-5 years into the future he would be a lot more revered.

If his WWF runs weren’t weird gimmicks and flops and he’d of gotten to be the pro he was he’d def get more love but from the boys Barry gets all the respect and that’s a sign of a true craftsman.

Yeah, imagine what his career could have been if he just stayed with JCP/WCW the whole time. Also if he hadn't gotten injured at bad times... or his brother and dad weren't convicted for counterfeiting.

Poor guy.
