Mini-Hardcore Holly Bio & Tidbits Real Name: Former identities, names, nicknames: Sparky Plugg(WWF, 1994), Bob "Sparkplugg" Holly(WWF, 1994-1997), Bombastic Bob(WWF, 1998), Bob Holly(WWF, 1998-1999), Hardcore Holly(WWF, 1999-Current) Former Ring Escorts: James E. Cornette(WWF, 1998) Major Titles Held: WWF Intercontanental Title, NWA Tag Title as Bombastic Bob with Bart Gunn(then known as Bodacious Bart), WWF Tag Title(2) as Bob "Sparkplugg" Holly with 1-2-3 Kid, and as Hardcore Holly with Crash Holly Brought into the WWF in 1994 as Sparky Plugg. Had name changed to Bob "Sparkplugg" Holly later that year. In January 1995 at the Royal Rumble him and the 1-2-3 Kid (X-Pac) won the vacant tag team titles in a tournament final against Tatanka and Bam Bam Bigelow. However, the next day on RAW they lost the straps to The Smoking Gunns(Billy Gunn & Bart Gunn). In an April episode of RAW Holly beat Jeff Jarrett in a controversial match and was stripped of the title, they had a rematch on the next RAW for the vacant belt, and Jarrett won with help from the Roadie(Road Dogg). Holly was basically a jobber and was getting teamed up with other jobbers for most of '95, '96, and '97, like Alex "The Pug" Porteau. Holly the got a whole bunch of gimmick changes in '98 and '99. First came Bombastic Bob, as he was teamed with Bodacious Bart(Bart Gunn) and known as the New Midnight Express. WWF had an NWA faction with Jim Cornette as it's head leader, and the NWA's Rock 'n' Roll Express just lost the belts to the Headbangers, after a couple failed rematches, the New Midnight Express appeared and beat the crap out of the Rock 'n' Roll Express. They were in the Wrestlemania 14 Tag Team Battle Royal to determine the #1 contenders for the WWF Tag Championship, the last 2 teams were the New Midnight Express and the newly reborn Legion of Doom 2000, the Express finished second when they're both duped over the ropes simultaneously. The next day on RAW they won the NWA tag belts from the Headbangers, and successfully defended them at the April '98 PPV, In Your House: Unforgiven against the Rock 'n' Roll Express. They got a tag title match againt the New Age Outlaws(Road Dogg & Billy Gunn) at the '98 King of the Ring and lost. They lost the NWA tag straps to the Border Patrol that August, and the team went there seperate ways after the lost. Holly re-emerged on an October episode of Sunday Night Heat where Al Snow debuted his new stable, The Job Sqauad, consisting of Al Snow, Bob Holly, and Scorpio. Later on The Blue Meanie, and Duane Gill would join the group. Holly was teaming with Scorpio from October '98 until Februay 1999 when Scorpio was fired from the WWF. On an February episode of RAW, Al Snow was beating himself up in the ring, being a loyal Job Squad buddy, Holly went to help out Snow, but they ended up beating the heck out of each other. Snow was suppose to have a Hardcore Title match at the February PPV: In Your House: St. Valentine's Day Massacre against champ, Road Dogg, but just got injured days before the event and was stripped of the title. So Holly and Snow fought for the title at Massacre in Memphis, Tennessee, and it ended up going into the Mississippi River, where Bob Holly pinned Al Snow on the riverbank becoming the new Hardcore Champ. Two days later at a RAW television taping, Bob Holly renames himself Hardcore Holly. Holly lost the belt a month later in March to Billy Gunn on RAW, but won it back at Wrestlemania 15 in a triple threat Hardcore Title match between Billy Gunn, Holly, and Snow. He lost the belt to Snow at the April PPV: In Your House: Backlash, and lost in a rematch with Snow at the May PPV: Over the Edge. Then Holly sorta went insane, he was teamed with the Big Show on a Heat match, and mouthed off against Show by calling himself the Big Shot, in there match, Show chokeslammed Holly and cost himself the loss. Holly would then challenge even more bigger opponents like Kane and the Undertaker. He was going around labeling himself a "superheavyweight," and finally after so many losses Hardcore introduced the WWF to his "cousin," Crash Holly. In that interview they both had arguments, and they ended up beating up each other, but would team up again at the next tv taping, and end up beating each other up by night's end. They kept on managin to get tag team victories and won the tag team belts from The Rock and Mankind on an episode of RAW and held onto the belts for about a half a month until losing them to Mankind & Al Snow in November on an episode of Smackdown. This "superheavyweights" angle for Hardcore Holly may seem like his best one in the WWF so far, and hopefully he'll get more WWF gold in the future. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ III.
