• Old School WWF Veteran Celebrates His Birthday
Old School World Wrestling Federation Veteran “Hardcore Holly” Bob Holly (Real name: Robert Howard) celebrates his birthday today.
While being a member of the full time WWF/E roster from 1994 till 2009, Bob had quite a few gimmicks such as Thurman “Sparky” Plugg and Bombastic Bob, one half of The New Midnight Express, but none was as successful as the bad-ass Attitude Era character of Hardcore Holly.
During his career he won the WWF Hardcore Championship (6x), the WWF/WWE World Tag Team Championship (3x) and the NWA World Tag Team Championship (1x).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB HOLLY!
