WWE.comIf we werent wrestling fans and you asked us if we wanted to go and watch Hardcore Holly wed probably ask you exactly what she did to earn that name, as would most guys between the ages of 15 and 50. However, Hardcore Holly is actually the ring name of Bob Howard, sometime stock car driver and professional wrestler, also known as Sparky Plug (a name that also opens up several pornographic possibilities - at least one of them anal). A fixture of WWF/Es mid card scene for many, many years, Hardcore Holly got his name by being rather adept at hardcore wrestling matches, which were all the rage in early 2000s WWE. Such matches involved gruesome close-ups, lots of headshots and a bizarre assortment of foreign objects...So nothing at all like hardcore pornography, then.
