SaitoRyo Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Bobcore Holly is great. Genuinely a big fan. Wrestling needs more meat-and-potatoes guys like him. As far as stuff not already mentioned, Holly had some great matches with Kurt Angle in the early 2000s. There was one on Smackdown in 2001 and other ones in 2004 on Smackdown and Velocity. They had really good chemistry (just don't mention the moonsault). As well as the infamous back injury match, he and RVD had some other belters in that era. There was a canny match with Orton on Smacky D in 2005, too. Long and more competitive than you'd think. Fuck it, stick him and the Roadie from the 95 King of the Ring on there, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members marc2j Posted December 24, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted December 24, 2020 Bob Holly is indeed great. His book is quality and as a long running joke of Bob being my bro's fave, we booked a meet and greet at WrestleCon with him. Loved a chat, was proper friendly and it was great to chat about his career. He proper doesnt like Triple H though. Something he mentioned about four hundred times in the space of the 8 minute conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranmoor Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Does anybody know any good source's of information about Vince Jr 1980-1984? Basically from the run up to him taking over to just before Hulk comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo introduces them, then they turn on the Rock and Rolls, making them look ultra pathetic. What Raw would this be on? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t be arsed to check who else was in it. Against Edge and Christian and the Hardy's wasn't it? Holly's and Too Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I was just reminded of Crimson, fucking hell. I had no idea that TNA rehired him twice after that initial shit attempt at a push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannibal Man Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Get Bob Holly calling Gangrel both Dracula and a 'Fat Bastard' from RAW on that Bob Holly comp. No idea if the match is any good but that's probably the greatest thing he ever did   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted December 24, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted December 24, 2020 Stumbled upon this earlier as well. A short recording of Owen Hart trying to prank Bob Holly over the phone and Holly’s having none of it. Love this.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsurutagun Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 It's quarter to midnight on Christmas Eve and I'm watching UWF II with Akira Maeda and Co and I'm thinking "if WWE did shoot style wrestling with its current roster, the 18-49 demo would be double what AEW are doing at the moment"Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted December 25, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted December 25, 2020 A clip of him stiffing on all the Tough Enough season 2 trainees? That one where he beat Rene Dupree black and blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reverend Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Has any official footage ever surfaced of the Legends presentation that they held at Summerslam '92? I think it included Larry Hennig and Pat Patterson. I know there's been a bit of ropey fan-cam (with homophobic commentary) but it'd be great to see it as part of a full edit of the event on the Network. I can't believe with all the cameras that day it wasn't recorded.
