=== '''Tropes associated with Bob Holly:''' ===
* [[A Day in
* [[Armor-Piercing Slap]]: Delivered one to [[Cody Rhodes]] during their feud, to "bring out the fire" in the rookie.
* [[Arch Enemy]]: In kayfabe, Lesnar is the closest thing to be found. In real life, he has threatened Mr. Kennedy on his life.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "I'm the Big Shot." Though it didn't really catch on...
* [[Determinator]]: Sustained severe injuries in several matches, and ''finished them''; possibly the most notable such occurrence being his table match against [[Rob Van Dam]] in 2006, in which he sustained a ''huge'' gash on his back after a botched table landing. This is often described as one of the few moments of the "new" [[ECW]] that lived up to that promotion's legacy.
** On another level, thought the veracity of said claim is easily dispute since it was WWE.com that reported it, at various points during injury recovery, Holly is said to have refused taking painkillers.
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: To some degree. After being turned face due to favorable crowd reactions after the aforementioned table match, he turned on RVD from out of nowhere in a tag match, with absolutely no buildup.
Line 19:
* [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]: His role in the second season of ''[[WWE Tough Enough]]''.
* [[Dyeing for Your Art]] / [[Dye Hard]]: Bob is a natural brunette.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: "Bobcore Holly" until he proved [[Took a Level
* [[Finishing Move]]: The Alabama Slam (<ref>Double leg slam</ref>). To a lesser extent, the Falcon Arrow (<ref>Sitout suplex slam</ref>). Of course, in his heyday, the finishing move would more likely be [[Garbage Wrestling|innovative usage]] of [[Improbable Weapon User|foreign objects]].
* [[Game-Breaking Injury]]: Defied with a vengeance! Aside from the aforementioned Determinator moment, he has survived at least one illness (a staph infection) that could have killed him.
* [[He's Back]]: His 2003 return from a neck injury, during which he ran roughshod over several superstars, [[Stone Cold Steve Austin|Stone Cold]]-style, notably choking out [[The Big Show]] with a chair.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Billy Gunn, at various points. Hilarious, considering Gunn's one-time gimmick.
* [[Jobber]]: When a part of the [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Kangaroo Court]]: Was part of the infamous "Wrestlers' Court" described on the page.
* [[Garbage Wrestler]]: They don't call him "Hardcore" for nothin'.
Line 31:
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: ''Oh boy''. He won his [[Wrestlemania]] 2000 match by busting open Crash's [[Insistent Terminology|skull]] with a cookie jar (though this is reputed to be a botched ending to the match), and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
* [[It's Personal]]: His 2003/2004 feud with Lesnar over the latter having broken his neck.
* [[
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: His feud with Lesnar. After all, he legitimately broke his neck.
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: His wrestling attire, as "Sparky" Plugg and Hardcore alike, often bore... unlikely color combinations.
