Crossbody of Work Episode 143: Hardcore Holly

Welcome to Crossbody of Work, a show where we break down a wrestler’s career through five of their biggest matches.

This week we’re diving into the 15-year WWF career of Bob Holly. We start with his origins as NASCAR driver/wrestler Sparky Plugg. From there we look at the origins of Hardcore Holly, the Holly Cousins, a random WWE Championship match against Brock Lesnar and more. On top of all these matches, Evan & Javier also talk about: 

• Super Bowl predictions
• 2005 sports games
• Christmas parties
• Luigi vs Mario

And a lot more.
