Hardcore Holly

Bob Holly also known as Hardcore Holly, spent 15 years wrestling for WWE. During that time he went through different gimmicks, such as Thurman 'Sparky' Plugg, Bob Holly, Bombastic Bob, and finally Hardcore Holly. The one thing all these personas had in common was that they never ascended beyond the mid-card.

Despite spending the majority of his career with WWE as a mid-card act, Holly was also known as locker room leader and a true enough guy as evidenced by his stint as a trainer on Tough Enough, and beating of Daniel Puder in a silly manner in 2005 Royal Rumble Match.
