10 Unlikely Superstars That Deserve A Place In WWE Hall Of Fame

Despite a roster packed with household names during the Attitude Era, Crash Holly's Hardcore Championship defenses on weekly TV were always a guilty pleasure.

Crash started with WWE in mid-1999 as Bob 'Hardcore' Holly's little cousin, gaining a short Tag Team Championship run. Adopting a fun gimmick, he started carrying scales to the ring to prove he was indeed a ''super'' heavyweight weighing "allegedly well over 400 lbs". The charisma and confidence with which Crash executed this despite his 5-foot 8-inch height immediately endeared him to the audience.

It was Holly's move to the hardcore division that put him in the reckoning for a spot in the HOF though. In February 2000, following his first Hardcore Championship victory, Crash decreed he would defend the title 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The precursor to the current 24/7 Championship saw him compete against all sorts; superstars, road agents and even one of The Godfather's hos. Airports, children's play areas, hotel rooms... you name it, we saw title defenses. He would go on to win the title 22 times. The next few years saw more mid-card gold follow, but we will always be remembered for the madness that was the 24/7 rule.

The real-life Mike Lockwood tragically passed away in 2003, five months after his release and aged just 32. R-Truth has a lot to thank him for.
