Omg Crash Holly was such a legend...his 24/7 hardcore title run was a iconic run...hasn't been duplicated since then.

He was hilarious and a great wrestler, and he was a great promo...but he was so over during the Golden Era of Pro Wrestling, when wwe had there all time ratings high during the Attention Era

The Crash Holly & Harcore Holly cousins angle..No pun attended, that duo connection was masterfully done and perfect because they looked like cousins, both come from south, both had the same accents and were perfect as cousin, people thought they were legit cousins.

But Crash Holly was so funny with his trademark walk, when he can down the ramp with his scale, and Jerry The King Lawler would say "DunaDunaDuna" and reference " Elroy Jetson" from the iconic Cartoon the ( The Jetsons) and compare Crash Holly with Elroy Jetson.

He was such an great character during the most extraordinary time in pro Wrestling...he was so memorable and fun to watch as a kid & teenager.

He is really missed and far too young to have left this world so soon...he was still amazing in that ring before he passed away....he would fit well In today's product.

He made such an impact and made that character get so popular and put smiles, laughter, Joy on people watching...he is truly a loved character during The Attitude Era.

RIP Crash Holly aka Micheal John Lockwood, (1971-2003)
👱‍♂️💪24/7 King
Here comes Elroy!

Crash Holly once exploded a beer in Farooq’s face then challenged him to a match. He was hilarious and fearless.

[waynetables]

modern fans would have been whining that Crash Holly "deserved" a run with the World title. I love wrestling, i hate wrestling fans

[jjjoorrddaan]

Best hardcore champion ever, his and Hardcore’s “we’re actually super heavyweights” gimmick was great 😂 when Crash debuted with that condescending attitude towards Hardcore 🤣 truly one of the most underrated guys of that era

The reason they didn't give Bob the storyline with Kurt is because he was a low tier wrestler. He didn't draw money. Nobody was excited to see Bob Holly. I wouldn't sign off on that idea either.

[jonjohnson.]

The answer to why no follow-up is kurt was a main eventer and bob was a opening act...simple

[gothard]

what was the point of Crash carrying the weight scales everywhere? I never understood that.

[christophercardarelli]

Elroy is the best the Hardhore champion

RIP Crash Holly

Lol of course Holly wants to compete for the WWE title that's probably the source of all his bitterness through the year's

Crash could wrestle. Dude was small but he was a machine. He just glided around the ring and made it look effortless. He had a bit of Malenko in him in that regard. Him and Jamie Noble were both short guys who could really wrestle and the WWF whiffed on both.
Honestly, they should have gotten a trench coat and had the two of them wear it and pretend to be one tall guy as a gimick.
