From: Mobile, Alabama
Career Highlights: Hardcore Champion (3); Tag Team Champion (2)
Hardcore Holly was a tired man. A veteran of the World Wrestling Federation who, along with X-Pac (then known as the 1-2-3 Kid), became Federation Tag Team Champions several years ago, Holly had been through it all. He even held the NWA Tag Team Belts with Bart Gunn as the New Midnight Express.
He joined the Federation under the name Sparky Plugg in the early 1990s. He is a licensed NASCAR driver, after all. He thought it would be an instant ticket to fortune.
It didnt happen. He became disenchanted with the Federation front office. After a brief stretch in the J.O.B. Squad, Holly developed a harder edge. With that, he focused his attention on the Hardcore Championship. He beat Al Snow at the St. Valentines Day Massacre to secure the vacant Hardcore Championship, lost it, regained it at WrestleMania XV, and again at this years WrestleMania.
Holly is hardcore to the bone. Hes not above cracking a glass pitcher or coffee mug in someones face so long as it results in victory. That attitude is perfect for the Federations Hardcore Division. In addition, he's one of the most technically sound competitors in the Federation. His dropkick is considered by many to be the best in the business.
