Horowitz competed under a mask at the 1993 WWF Survivor Series as The Red Knight, teaming with Shawn Michaels and the Black and Blue Knights to lose to Bret, Owen, Keith and Bruce Hart. In 1995 he joined the WWF on a regular basis, and was given the gimmick of a career jobber who never won matches. Wearing suspenders in the ring and patting himself on the back as a self-congratulatory measure, Horowitz shocked play-by-play commentator Jim Ross by pinning Bodydonna Skip in 1995, provoking Ross to shout "Horowitz wins!" into his microphone in disbelief. Horowitz faced the vengeful Skip in a match at SummerSlam 1995, which he won again. Following his victory, Horowitz formed a tag team with the newly turned face Hakushi, who he attempted to Americanize. His short-lived, new-found success also earned him a spot in the 1996 Royal Rumble match, at the number 26 position, where he was eliminated by Owen Hart.
