Bob Holly was far more 'Hardcore' than the 'Spark Plugg' he once portrayed in real life, but was still nails enough to compete in the odd few stock car races just to get immersed in his horrendous early-1990s gimmick. He was disqualified for some unnecessary roughness in those too.

A man brave (or bonkers ) enough to demand the WWE Title and an undefeated streak in the same locker room as Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock in 1999 presumably didn't even cringe at gashes like the one in the above image, but the size and scale of the frightening cut remains one of the most horrendous in company history. Especially considering the circumstances of the cut.
