History
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 didn't 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. Valentine's
Day Massacre to secure the vacant Hardcore Championship, lost it,
regained it at WrestleMania XV, and again at this year's
WrestleMania.
Holly is hardcore to the bone. He's not above cracking a glass
pitcher or coffee mug in someone's face so long as it results in
victory. That attitude is perfect for the Federation's 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.
