Should Hardcore Holly be inducted into the HOF?

[joeman]

Holly has been with the company for more than 13 years. Does he deserve to be inducted to the Hall of Fame?

[Spankymac is sick of the swiss]

God, no. A one day tag team title reign and a bunch of (mostly meaningless) Hardcore title reigns from a mediocre at best wrestler does not a HOF inductee make.

[B'Cup x]

Is this hardcore holly, or hardcore holly as in Benoit?

[joeman]

Spark Plugs Holly.

[mo]

He wouldn't be my first choice but I probably wouldn't be opposed to it.

[rko]

never, ever times infinity, he deserves nothing!

[AriadosMan]

No, the HOF is usually reserved for people who were top draws or participated in really significant storylines. In other words, he isn't the equal of Mr. Perfect or Bret Hart in terms of impact.

[Garee]

No, there are much more deserving people

[MGH]

Absolutely not. He's hardly ever even done anything to stand out. He's as average as average gets.

I dont think he should, I really think the hall of fame should be reserved for only the biggest wrestlers

yes i know thats not the case with the wwe hof but i still would like the focus to be more on the top stars than just any old wrestler whos spent his career in the wwe

[Cranjis McBasketball]

f*** no.

I'd vote for The Rabid Wolverine Bob Holly, but not Sparky Butt Plugg Holly.

[TRUTH TELLER]

Eventually. If Tony Garea and Johnny Rodz can get in, so can Sparky. Just not yet. There's guys who've main evented multiple Wrestlemania's who haven't even been inducted yet. He can wait in line.

I can hear the voice over now.

After debuting as Bob Sparky Plugg Holly, he became Hardcore Holly. He was then injured for about 8 years due to a broken arm suffered at the hands of a former WWE Superstar who no one remembers.

Holly: I believe the guy who broke my arm was named Kirk something. Anyway, he wasn't very good and was gone very quickly. The fans don't remember him.

After returning from injury, Holly went on to do nothing.

Hardcore Holly is a true legend in our sport.

(Here goes a can of worms)

*Adding to voiceover*

In between spats of doing nothing, he would occassionally beat the piss out of a young guy who "had it coming" just for being a young guy in the business.

LOL well Johnny Rodz made it. And there's talk that Mae Young might be inducted, even though she was never a top draw from what I've heard.

Yeah but Johnny Rodz was inducted a long time after his career was actually over. Surely Holly can still go a couple more years? Good point though.

If Tito Santana was inducted, Hardcore Holly should be also. End of discussion

[plushtar]

He's a bigger star than that stupid rookie CM Punk, the dirtsheets said so.

No, because Tito had a bigger career then Holly has EVER had and people actually, you know, LIKED Santana in the ring. But lets break it down career wise.

Santana had wrestled for multiple companies for 20 years and has held multiple titles, including his two IC titles and his two Tag team titles (1 with Ivan Putski and 1 with Rick Martel) in the WWF. Now lets check out Holly. Lets see, he has wrestled for half the times and has had half the title reigns as Santana.

My opinion Holly hasn't done anything to deserve a spot in the HoF. Sure Santana hasn't done allot like others have but hell, he deserved his spot more then Hardcore Holly ever will IMO.

Santana played a perfect no. 2 and no. 3 babyface for a few years under Backlund and later Hogan and had two reigns with the IC title at a time where it was the closest to being equal to the WWF title. He was mega over, and was still really over even as a JTTS into the early 90's.

Santana definitely deserves it. I disagree on Holly, even with the Johnny Rodz argument. I'm pretty sure Rodz has something on Vinny Mac that got him in.
