Bob Holly's biggest achievement in WWE was somehow staying with the company for 15 years and only being relevant on the roster for about 2 years total during the entire time, the 1999-2000 period when he first became "Hardcore Holly" and reinvented himself as a staple of the hardcore division. But even after that flamed out he was never able to reinvent himself again. He was just kind of known as "that asshole from Tough Enough" to the modern generation.

To be totally honest I loved watching Hardcore Holly when I was younger, he always seemed like a great wrestler in my eyes. The Alabama Slam was so awesome and brutal but as an adult I realize that I only looked him because I thought he made it look better than most (because obviously he's notoriously stiff) still like his old matches.

But it says a lot and I remember their kindness. Nothing against Al/Jessica I'm sure they have their reasons for standoffish. He's not a fan if fans maybe, but I treated them all with utmost respect and professionalism as front desk was my job and I took pride in providing excellent customer service.

We had someone like that at my job,such a shame to see that. Hopefully they clean there life up.

Bob Holly 's book is a great read. Its the book about the guy who couldn't quite get the big break. Quite refreshing as most book were from big stars or main event talent. He strikes me as quite honest in the book and does make criticisms of HHH, Vince and others without coming across like he's bitter. He also isn't afraid to speak on his own shortcomings. I'm sure there's some BS in the book but at the same time it's a different kind of read. The book has somewhat of a happy ending where he locates his girlfriend from his teenage years and ended up marrying her after leaving WWE. Brian Gerwitz mentioned he eventually made peace with Holly. Obviously, not saying he was a wonderful guy.

I remember Holly having a great match with Triple H when he had the world title and Stephanie had the woman's. Stephanie accompanied Triple H to the ring. Holly was besting Triple H and he had to resort to Stephanie interfering in the match, distracting the ref and throwing in the woman's belt for Triple H to steal the win.

His book is good

Yo he did get owned by Brock and then tried to play it off

All "Part of the Business" when it involves Brock according to Holly 😂

Just looking for Spark plugs 😅

Bob Holly had one of the longest continuous tenures with the WWF/WWE while simultaneously having one of the most forgettable careers in its history. He just never had enough character to make fans care.

Why simon do my boy Rene Dupree like that.

All you have to do is watch the kayfabe commentaries with Hardcore Holly and Mr. Kennedy and see the difference in the kind of people they were

Him delivering that beating on Tough Enough was really my last straw for him. Injuring other wrestlers could be chalked up to carelessness or just being too stiff. But beating up on someone just starting in the business for absolutely no reason was ridiculous. He should have been gone from the company when that happened. In todays climate he 100% would have.

LMAO if Matt or anyone else who wants to wrestle can't handle a little intensity and some stiff boots then they were NEVER going to make it. Bob taught the most important lesson in a matter of seconds, and the kid just fucking cries abourt it(literally cries..) He was never going to be a wrestler, he was just some kid who made it on a MTV TV Show and couldn't cut it. RVD stiffed the shit out of people with his kicks, he admits it, but that's different? No, that's wrestling, shit happens when you're trying to blur the line between worked and real, sometimes you land on the real side of the line for a moment or two.

@@higler. When you fuck up someone’s teeth and give them a black eye that’s a little different than just showing someone they can’t do it. He just as easily could have just told the dude how shit he was and made him feel like shit till he quit. Also yes being stiff with a professional is different than beating someone up on a reality show.

I never got the scale gimmick.

I think Bob's legacy is that of a guy who cared deeply about the business, and cared about doing things the right way, but went about expressing those beliefs in a way that made him utterly unlikeable to his fellow workers. It's not completely wrong to say that he and the Undertaker share a lot of the same qualities, but whereas Taker is respected, Holly never cared about earning peoples' respect.

Bob reminds me of mr woodcock

Holly seems to be generally referred to by most everyone who worked with him as a miserable prick and even worse a bully, (at least to newbies and guys underneath status wise) and no one likes a bully. So I have to believe wheres there's smoke there's fire.

I have heard all the main guys say nothing but good things about him. Only guys who didn't last and careers went nowhere I have heard complaining. Maven and charlie Haas off the top of my head were mentored under Bob. They talked about him being tough on them and looking back we're glad he was, even if they didn't feel the same way some days back then. Look at it logicaly= 1.They kept an asshole bully for 15 years who wasn't a draw only a carpenter because they wanted a cancer in the locker room? 2. The locker room leader The Undertaker took the Big show aside over an attitude problem must have been afraid to confront Bob over all these years of being a miserable prick and a bully.? It is not like he was in the BSK and it's not like he and the undertaker were overly close (mutual respect etc though) 3. He was an out-of-line A-hole to the young prospects coming in so they just kept putting the young guys with him as a mentorship position to show them the ropes hoping he would run them off? That makes absolutely no sense... Bob admits, he was tough on the new guys until they got it, how tough depended on how well they listened. Bob and others all say Bob was a straight cat who was going to sugar coat NOTHING and if they screwed up he would rip them a new one and tell them what they did wrong in no uncertain terms. Not the same thing as being a bully and picking on people for the sake of being an asshole wanting to make someone's life miserable

No. Brock drop holly on his head because holly “sandbag” lesnar. Which means holly didnt use his momentum to help lesnar powerbomb him. In other words holly tighten his body up and lesnar said fuck it and drop him on his head/neck and kick him. That kick signify that holly did intentionally sandbag lesnar.

No, Brock said it was an accident, they mistimed it, he likes Bob. Only total fucking idiots on the internet actually believe that anymore. I mean seriously, these guys must have brain damage to think Bob would sandbag on a move where the only result would be going down on his head. Brock said it was an accident, Bob said it was an accident. Only guys with Dave Meltzer's asshole on their breath are dumb enough to believe it was anything but a botch. Hell, Brock sent him a giant thing of steaks to BBQ when he was off.

They've both publicly said it was just an accident and are friends outside of the business. People like to point to this or the Owen/Austin piledriver and imagine these revenge plots that are just fucking imaginary

Bob .... been a fan of wrestling all my life. I have seen em all love some can't stand some, but what you did to the guy on tough enough, was absolutely criminal and cowardly. You knew good an damn well he was an easy target and that he wasn't expecting it. Truth be told he probably would have beat your ass. Any how, you are very careful about who you mention when you are talking crap and with good reason. Brock Lesnar would be knocking on your door if you ever mentioned his name. All you do is pick on people who you know that won't fight back

That’s bullsh**. For starters….Kennedy got released for not performing moves safely…A few years later. Secondly, if you follow any of his or The Outlaws shoot interviews. He’s got more than a few friends in the back. Yes. After Billy had left. Bob had mentioned he was not happy. But, didn’t say anything.

Nobody ever looked at Bob Holly like Stone Cold or The Rock. He probably wanted the Texas Rattlesnake gimmick matter of fact 😂

Bob Holly was a Crash Holly with delusions of Undertaker.

Holly steals from a guy, accuses the guy of a felony, and gets mad at the guy for not covering for him.

Bob Holly punched a kitten in the ear

Bob Holly came from an older generation where wrestlers paid their dues. Nothing was handed to them. If you were in his shoes and saw some new guy who got handed the golden ticket to get into the WWE goofing off.You probably kick the shit out of him too.
