WWE 13: 10 Criminally Absent Attitude Era Superstars

4. Hardcore Holly

Hardcore Holly - or Bob Howard beyond the kayfabe €“ was much more successful than his on-screen cousin Crash and the WWE even attempted to push him up to main event status a few times, although these attempts were relative failures. One such attempt saw him enter a short lived feud with Brock Lesnar, during which he injured his neck and was rendered out of action for thirteen months. After that, Holly€™s career just sort of € petered out. As you€™re probably aware, long absence from the spotlight is tantamount to career suicide for a wrestler (which is why Austin continued to perform at his peak despite neck injuries of his own) and when he returned the fans were simply disinterested. These says, Holly still performs on the independent wrestling circuit. I€™m sure THQ were well within their legal right to include him in WWE 13€™s roster, but I could see his inclusion bumping someone who maybe deserved a spot more. However, I was a big fan of Hardcore Holly, of the whole Holly family in fact and I€™m still a little peeved that not a one of them managed to make WWE 13€™s cut.
