Bob Holly update

[andrew8798]

the original plan for Bob Holly's return was to form a tag team with him and Eugene on Smackdown that would be managed by a trained monkey, but Holly got numbness in his arm and potential nerve damage stemming from a recent surgery that could be career threatening

Ok

I said it the last time he had to go out for his arm which is STILL bothering him.

Bob. PLEASE HANG IT UP. There is no reason for you to lose your arm over this.

This would be the greatest thing in the history of the universe.

Then when the monkey turns on them someone can say "That's what happen when you don't HAIL TO THE CHIMP!"

Amen. He's been with the company forever. He should probably be able to manage a retirement.

My girlfriend is going to be bummed out.

Bob Holly's her favorite. Yes, you're reading correctly.

She's been anxiously awaiting his return and asking me for updates.

Yeah. I mean I was glad when he came back from that MSRA problem that almost cost him his arm. He was mildly entertaining that one time he ripped his back open against RVD (then they smurfed up the possibilities with that but anyway), and then he had to go out because of his arm. He came back, wrestled like...one match maybe? and is out because of his arm again. I just think if his arm is still bothering him after numerous surgeries that he is a liability waiting to occur, and even though he strikes me as the kind of guy who would wrestle till his arm falls off and then start smacking people with it, it'd be best if he settled into either a behind the scenes role or a desk job.

Is everything in this entirely serious? The trained monkey part kind of throws me off.

I agree. While this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read, it's still something WWE Creative would want to do.

[Baixo Astral]

I want Bobcore back more than anyone, but I'd rather he hang them up than risk losing his arm.

[That Loser Guy]

He should take his sweet ass time. This gimmick is pretty much insta-Gooker material!

this should be eugene's gimmick right now!

or maybe the majors brothers since they're totally generic and have no gimmick right now so no one cares about them.

[jcdenton]

Man, one of these days holly is going to lose those arms (and keep wrestling some how)

if that happens WWE would have to bring back Zach Gowen to form the greatest tag team of all time

I think after wrestling a stiff style like bob holly does after all these years has finally taken a toll.

bob holly should go and do what he should be doing, and that's training wrestlers at OVW.

Eh, he'd probably be better in DSW, with greener wrestlers.

["Nature Boy" Ric Moranis]

I'm usually against stuff like this, but I have to admit that a tag team managed by a trained monkey would be one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

Tag Team that comes out with a monkey = stupid.
Tag Team managed by a monkey = brilliant.

[boiledewokthe3rd]

I bet Johnny Ace had a really sexy monkey lined up too. Hope Holly can come back for this and that the monkey flings poop into the audience.

[Corporate H]

Yeah, I'm sure it was his arm and not that crappy angle they were going to make him do. But seriously, that sucks.

[Mozenrath]

Someone has to make the joke....

"A tag team, managed by a trained monkey. But we already had MNM!"
