Rep Power: 7 | Hardcore Holly: Leader or whiner? On Smackdown Michael Cole just called Hardcore Holly a locker room leader. From what I've heard most people call him a whiny bitch because he can't get over with the fans or a decent push. :lol: | | When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the country not enter the city. For this is the time of punishment in fullfillment of all that has been written. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. They will fall by the sword and be taken as prisoners to all nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
...At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.
Luke 21:20-28 |

The Hardcore Holly bashing is old too, just people trying to fit in.
He is not a whiny bitch from what I can see, he's just a man trying to fight for his goals and gets what he wants. HHH does the same thing backstage, that's why these guys have all of these backstage power because they have the guts to stick up for themselves and get what they want and achieve their dreams. Getting what you want won't fall into your lap, in order to get what you want, you must do all you can to get the bookers/writers attention. That's what Hardcore and HHH does. There is nothing wrong with that. | | |

| Well being at the company for what seems like the stoneage and being a 7 Time WWE Hardcore Champion a 2 time WWE tag team champion and wrestling at stright Manias is nothing to scoff at. Yeah Rocky, Hulk and Bret have done better, but many like Spanky, Gowan, K-Kwik and Kayon don't even get that far. | | |

Rep Power: 24 | The only thing I seen him ever get is one title shot with a guy who broke his neck. That was most likey just because of exactly that, he got a shot because he stuck his neck out (lol) for the company and they were rewarding him.
Umm, ya might want to take a look at that hardcore title list before you go and use it as bragging rights for him. Who hasn't at some point been the hardcore title holder? Hell even a ref and the Stooges held the belt. Also, there are a lot of people who been tag champ at least once or twice.
Why is it everytime someone has an opinion or about a wrestler, it is bashing? If anything is getting old it is hearing the word "bashing". | | |

Rep Power: 47 | Hardcore Holly has been in the WWE for over ten years, and has never been over. He has no charisma whatsoever and is decent, but not spectacular, in the ring
I think Tough Enough proved what kind of a person Bob Holly really is
Lets not forget that one of the Godfather's hoes once held the Hardcore title... | | |

Rep Power: 6 | That Ho was Victoria if my memory serves me correctly.
Holly has never really been over. He was in mediocre tag teams, he had a half decent midcard push when feuding with Jericho and Chyna over the IC belt circa Royal Rumble 2000, but thats about the peak of his success. Hes not exactly solid in the ring (watch the Brock - Holly match again and tell me he doesnt look green :S) which might be a controversial point to some, but I think is perfectly valid. He just doesnt have 'it'. I think anything that gets you over that ISNT due to wrestling ability and sheer talent is underhanded, but then its about what sells, and marketability. Holly fits into neither of those two categories. | | |

Rep Power: 17 | He almost won the IC title from Double J back around 1995 but the decision was reversed (title was declared vacant as I recall) and a rematch was signed for the following week, where he lost.lol.
And yes, I agree that the Hardcore title is/was a joke. No one should be putting that on their resume anytime soon. | | |

Rep Power: 6 | Well in his whole carrer how many gimmicks has he had. He had three, Sparky Plugg (A race car driver whoop-d-do), Bodacious Bob (Taged with Bombastic Bart) and Hardcore Holly (the most scusessful of the three gimicks. The WWE, needs to freshen up his Hardcore gimmick by giving him a valet (like his wife BB), a sidekick or somthing. Then change that played music. Hey a vast change in style worked for the likes of Gregory Helms, John Cena and Bradshaw. Also get him on the mic some more. Sure he sux, but Haas and Benjamin are terrible too, RVD and Benoit barely speak. I feel anyone, with wrestling training can become over with the crowd, even Holly. | | |

That skit of the APA he did with Haas was great, and he's done snippets backstage that have been good. Benoit also has improved. His stiff mic style suits his realistic in-ring ethics.
RVD sucks though. | | 3D. Wrestling Clique, Monksdiner, JimmyVan and KnowYourNews' Crafty Old Veteran. |
