About this listen

The wrestling legend Bob "Hardcore" Holly tells all in this autobiography that chronicles his journey from fighting in bars for money to the bright lights of the World Wrestling Federation. Holly reveals how he took more body slams and clotheslines outside the ring than in and that long before he was known as "Hardcore Holly", he had an unquenchable passion for professional wrestling.

Ultimately, Holly would hold the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Hardcore Championship seven times, the WWE Tag Team Championship three times, and the National Wrestling Alliance World Tag Team Championship once. But in the midst of his career achievements was a roller coaster of success and frustration, and Holly reveals the plethora of missed opportunities and broken promises that marked his road to television stardom. Replete with fast motorcycles, faster cars, wrestling bears, betrayal, and lost love, Holly shares his uncompromised view of his past and the current state of professional wrestling.

I grew up watching him as sparky plug then as hardcore holly. This was a great listen about someone who was always there but never broke through into mega stardom

I loved the ending to the book too.....a happy ending after a career when he never got the breaks he deserved

Brilliant listen

very very very impressed with this book. Bob Holly was a wrestler that looked technically proficient with an amazing dropkick and bleached blonde hair and that's all I really thought of him.

However on pain of losing a credit I took a gamble on the book and was really really impressed with it. Some excellent shoot chapters on HHH, Michaels and the clique. Very light on his time with Crash and Molly.

Definitely worth a credit and your time.

That mid card guy
