Career
Tim Horner started wrestling in 1978 in the Alabama territory. Horner signed to Jim Crockett Promotions in 1984, and formed The Lightning Express with Brad Armstrong. Tim Horner signed with World Wildlife Fund in late 1988 and wrestled many bouts until he left in later 1989.
Although on televised matches he was used largely as a jobber in both singles and tag-team matches, at house shows he scored many wins, including victories over established stars such as Nikolai Volkoff and Boris Zhukov, as well as undercard wrestlers such as Danny Davis, Jose Estrada, Barry Horowitz, Jose Luis Rivera, Iron Mike Sharpe, Tom Magee, Steve Lombardi, and Johnny K-9 (Taras Bulba) and others
In the 1990s, Horner wrestled for World Championship Wrestling as the masked Star Blazer, and for Smoky Mountain Wrestling (SMW). In SMW, he also played the original Kendo the Samurai (a masked samurai gimmick, also used by Scott Antol, Brian Logan, Dave Pillman and others) managed by Daryl Van Horne.
Horner was co-owner of SMW, with Jim Cornette, until the two had a falling out. Thereafter, he competed in WCW as a jobber (sometimes teaming with Armstrong).
After WCW, he occasionally wrestled on independent shows in Georgia and Tennessee.
He then worked in World Wrestling Entertainment as a producer for its SmackDown! brand, until October 26, 2006. On June 16, 2013, he teamed with Tom Prichard to defeat Bob Orton, Junior. and George South at the Brad Armstrong Memorial Event. Finishing moves
