Hardcore Holly

Combat Sports

Hardcore Holly is the best-known ring name of Robert William Howard, an American professional wrestler born on 29 January 1963 in Glendale, California. After debuting in 1988 and working for independent promotions, he joined WWE full time in 1994, first as the NASCAR driver character Thurman "Sparky" Plugg and later as Bob Holly and Bombastic Bob. From 1999 he adopted the stern Hardcore Holly persona, held the Hardcore Championship, and later won the WWF/E World Tag Team Championship and the NWA World Tag Team Championship. A broken neck from a match with Brock Lesnar in 2002 kept him out for more than a year. WWE released him in 2009 and he published an autobiography in 2013.
