My Take
Bob Holly, better known as Hardcore Holly, is the embodiment of the grinder. He didn't ride a rocket to fame; he debuted in 1988 and clawed through the World Organization of Wrestling, Smoky Mountain Wrestling, and the independents before WWE brought him on full-time in 1994. I have a lot of time for wrestlers like that, the dependable hands who put others over and stuck around for the long haul. It's fitting his ring name was Hardcore, because his whole career reads as toughness and persistence. Add a racing background to the mix and you get a genuinely no-nonsense competitor.
