The Hardcore Truth

The Bob Holly Story

By: Bob Howard, Ross Williams

Narrated by: Brian Holsopple

The wrestling legend Bob "Hardcore" Holly tells all in this autobiography that chronicles his journey from fighting in bars for money to the bright lights of the World Wrestling Federation. Holly reveals how he took more body slams and clotheslines outside the ring than in and that long before he was known as "Hardcore Holly", he had an unquenchable passion for professional wrestling.

Ultimately, Holly would hold the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Hardcore Championship seven times, the WWE Tag Team Championship three times, and the National Wrestling Alliance World Tag Team Championship once. But in the midst of his career achievements was a roller coaster of success and frustration, and Holly reveals the plethora of missed opportunities and broken promises that marked his road to television stardom. Replete with fast motorcycles, faster cars, wrestling bears, betrayal, and lost love, Holly shares his uncompromised view of his past and the current state of professional wrestling.

Wonderful journey and great performance

The narrator does a great job bringing to life the written words of Bob Spark Plug Howard. I give this the highest rating. I’ll be listening to it again

good book

I enjoyed the stories related to professional wrestling and about Bob Holly personally. I recommend the book.

fan or not..a inside look (without WWE influence)

out of all the wrestling books I've read this one was by far one of the best ever! it's nice getting an inside book of the business without the author feeling intimidated by WWE - meaning that they are going to lose their job or keep from getting a job in the future because quite frankly Bob Holly is a man's man and he don't give a rat's ass what WWE thinks or anybody for that matter. I highly recommend!

Highly entertaining

I was always a fan ofBob the wrestler. Now I’m a fan of the man. Old school wrestling has always been where it’s at with me. Bob’s old school and tough as nails. Great insight into the man.

Hardcore!

Loved it from start to finish. Holly was a midcard wrestler with main event potential.
