EPISODE 104: Bob Holly


You won’t believe what Bob Holly thought of working for Jerry Jarrett in Memphis, or maybe you will, but his story doesn’t stop there. Nobody has a story like Bob Holly. From quitting his job to wrestle to quitting wrestling to get a job and back again, he got his big break out of nowhere and felt like he was going nowhere as “Thurman ‘Sparky’ Plugg” for Vince McMahon.



Bruce discusses Bob’s claims of poor pay from the company in 1994, dropped Thurman for Bob, the real life racing situation that wasn’t just a gimmick, his brief IC situation with Jarrett, why the Waltman tag title win happened, his run-ins with the Kliq, the JOB Squad, the Hardcore Championship, Crash, BB, Molly, Kurt Angle breaking his arm, Brock Lesnar breaking his neck, when and how the Tough Enough situation happened, the fall out from that both good and bad, being recruited by Eric Bischoff, the huge gash on his back on ECW TV, the rumored fight with Rene Dupree, standing up to Vince, the pill rumor involving Ken Anderson, his heat with Cody, and his legacy in the business! I GOT AN IDEAL! Why don’t you listen to over three hours of Hardcore Holly!
