The Hardcore Truth: The Bob Holly Story

Pretty decent read if you’re a fan of 90’s wrestling or WWE in general.

Bob Holly was a guy you always saw on TV that was a good worker but never got really got a fair shake in the business it felt like.

For what its worth I always like Hardcore Holly. He was a good wrestler and a tough son of a bitch.

Its interesting to read about his time in wrestling from his perspective. But I have to admit it seems like he wrote this book just to negate internet rumors that have swirled about him through the years.

Bob has always had the reputation of being a locker room bully, at least that rumor has been heard for years. Bob tries really hard in this book to make it seem like he’s not. If we can believe the man then maybe he isn’t. But I wasn’t there so who's to say.

He says he doesn’t care what anyone thinks about him but I would argue most of the message he tries to get across in this book contradicts that claim.

Decent book, decent wrestler, maybe a decent guy. I enjoyed this read but maybe it woulda been better from a less biased perspective. But of course it was going to be biased from the start.
