10 Times WWE Babyfaces Were Heels Backstage
9. Hardcore Holly
By the tail-end of his WWE main roster career, Hardcore Holly was a defacto babyface on tenure alone.
A tolerable pr*ck to some and intolerant one to others, Holly knew himself and his place in the company enough to do and say exactly what he felt best even if his overtly traditionalist values were becoming increasingly archaic in a changing industry.
Despite a short run as a old workhorse seeking vindication from top heel Brock Lesnar in late-2003, Holly was still the man others sought bitter revenge against. Late Tough Enough competitor Matt Capotelli took a face-and-a*se kicking for real after giving his body to big banter Bob in a televised training session, whilst Rene Dupree grossly misjudged his etiquette infraction in 2004 after borrowing Holly's rental car.
The former 'Two Sports Superstar' was class at crashing and burning when he lived the gimmick, but when Dupree didn't cough up for a speeding ticket in Holly's name, the 'Alabama Slamma' gave the 20-year-old more than a few sharp lefts.
A house show match turned ugly enough with a raft of very real punches and kicks, but the beating continued backstage until Fit Finlay got in between them.
