Bob Holly: Difference between revisions

'''Bob "Hardcore" Holly''' (born January 29, 1963) is an American [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestler]], whose tenure with WWE [[Long Runner|lasted from 1991 to 2008]]. After progressing through several gimmick changes, from NASCAR racer Thurman "Sparky" Plugg to a nondescript member of the tongue-in-cheek J.O.B. Squad, Holly earned his nickname of "Hardcore" as a participant of numerous grueling hardcore matches during the [[Attitude Era]] of the late '90s, being one of the relatively few holders of the Hardcore Championship to boast respectable, lengthy title reigns.

 

 

=== '''Tropes associated with Bob Holly:''' ===

* [[Fan Nickname]]: "Bobcore Holly" until he proved [[Took a Level In Badass|he really is hardcore]]; "Baldcore Holly", thanks to [[Chris Jericho]].

* [[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]].

* [[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.
