Meet Tim Horner: Renaissance Man. This was laid on thick. In addition to being amazing at everything he has ever done athletically, he is also a brilliant singer. The feature transitions to him singing "Shameless" by Garth Brooks. He's not terrible, but really? Kind of an obnoxious segment, but a good time capsule.

 

Shameless indeed.

An incredibly cheesy personality profile on 'one of the most popular stars in Smoky Mountain'. He's been an outstanding athlete all of his life, a four year defensive back All-American, a US Jr. champion, a co-holder of the National and UWF tag team titles and his biggest win was over Hawk on TBS. He's wrestled in the WWF and the NWA amongst others, is a voluntary probation officer and also an accomplished singer and musician. This then segues into Horner singing some country song.

 

Christ, was this something! There clearly trying to give Horner a pretty substantial push but this does him no favours. Definitely falls into the category of so bad it's good!

By Big Two standards, this may have been bad. By SMW standards, this was actually very good and hit just about everything you'd want in a top babyface. The thing you come away with here is that he's still the boy next door who can relate to not only his fans, but his neighbors, which in his case might be the same thing. He's a better singer than Jeff Jarrett was as Double J from what I can remember, and his athletic accomplishments mean much more to the actual intended audience than they ever would to us Yearbook watchers. Plus, we know Tim's push tanked, which colors everything involved in it badly.

 

I didn't know Tim had actually pinned Hawk; I'm guessing this was on TBS. I wonder why Dusty didn't at least give him a push toward, if not a run with, the TV title after that.

Not a bad singer at all.  Only thing missing was his own personality instead of just trying to ape Garth Brooks.  Shocking that he would have trouble with that I know.  Sings kind of like he wrestles, perfectly competent but without any kind of charisma or spark.

Also, apparently Tim Horner has his own recording studio.
