@Kelystic Sadly? yeah lets have our most over guy lose to a mid carder? wow the way WWE is run these days I bet great minds like yourself are in the creative sector of WWE.
@Punj4biUK His gimmick was that he weighed 200lbs more than he did. Then he became a complete clown. Then he became a Shannon Moore fan. Yeah, great gimmicks...
@Punj4biUK And that comment right there proves the standard of the midcard in the Attitude Era. He was only good because he was competing with Rikishi, Val Venis, Big Bossman, Godfather, Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, Faarooq, Test, Prince Albert, Ken Shamrock, Mark Henry, X-Pac, Marc Mero, Al Snow, and many, many more talentless hacks. Even then, Holly looked like shite.
@airehk Well, there's a lot of wrestlers like that. I do agree. Holly could've been more, but I'm not sure if he would've been a good crowd seller. People were behind him in this match, but it was pretty clear the WWE Universe wanted him to lose. The match itself wasn't bad but also wasn't anything special. That's why he wasn't used that much. WWE saw that it wasn't gonna work as well as it needed to.
this was hardcore holly's bigest push.it suck that he didnt win the title that night.dereved it for being there for so long.in my eyes he is a wwe champion
@MrRiddler6 Just because he was there for a long time, doesn't mean he deserved to be WWE Champion! He was shit for the whole of his 15+ years in WWE!
@aznmonkeyb0y That's laughable if you're serious. People pay to see Cena. Maybe not you, but others (and plenty of them). No one buys a ticket to a show saying, "I want to see a Hardcore Holly match!"
And if you're joking (which I hope is the case), it wasn't very funny.
@screech2212 dude seriously Hardcore title was even better then wwe title now i mean hardcore title matches back in 2000 where taking everywhere place and back then they were more creative.
let me guess : Cena fan huh thought so look cena was good when he was us champ but as multiple wwe champ i say he is so damn overated it isn't entertaining anymore
@aznmonkeyb0y First: I didn't say anything about hardcore matches. I agree with you that they were awesome. I said no one pays to see Hardcore HOLLY matches because he sucked.
Second: Please point out where I said I'm a Cena fan. I stated a fact - people, lots of people, pay to see John Cena. No one has ever paid solely to see Hardcore Holly.
Please learn to read before you try to criticize. It will save you a lot of time.
he sand bagged cause brock was workin too stiff. which you dont do with holly unless you have his respect. and JBL is not a POS. You try breakin ur back and having a couple herniated and bulging discs and try wrestling like Bradshaw did.
I remember seeing some of this live at a Smackdown I went too. Its funny.....back then I was excited for Holly's "big push" but now I realized that he sand bagged Brock and in return.....basically broke his own neck.
Hardcore Holly along side JBL are 2 huge pieces of shit : /
This promo right here proves that Hardcore Holly can really pull off a big one. Its so so so better than all the things that I see now. Hardcore Holly is one of the toughest guys to ever lace their boots and one of the most underrated stars in wrestling history.
Pushes like this with Hardcore Holly is like WWE always gives someone a big and intense push for the title, but they never book that person to win. It's like if you're gone to push them big, then have them win. It's sad because after this Holly did not have a big rivalry.
shame on hardcore holly gettin his neck broken the selfish son of a bitch. brock should've done it again. thank god this bitch holly aint here no more
@Wooderz245 yeah but he was a backstage bully. the reason his neck was broken is because he refused to be powerbombed by Lesnar. Instead of selling the move, he resisted because he felt that Brock hadn't yet proved himself in the industry. Bob Holly had this attitude about most people backstage which is why he really never got a good push in WWE.
@Kelmurf313 Hardcore Holly clearly sandbagged Brock Lesnar and that's how his neck was broken. BTW sandbagged means to intentionally make it difficult for the other guy to lift you and carry out the move.
@cstring420 lol o ok :) what i meant was that hardcore hollys biggest thing of his wwe career might not ahve happened if he hadnt sandbagged. i wouldnt remember him for any other reason tbh
If the writers weren't so gay....this wouldve been an awesome, brutal, entertaining fight....what a waste of a promo
