10 Wrestlers Other Wrestlers Were Scared Of

8. Bob Holly

There are varying reports on exactly what happened during the third season of WWE's faux-reality show Tough Enough in 2002. Some have claimed Bob Holly's beatdown on rookie Matt Cappotelli was something the trainee knew about beforehand. Others have criticised Holly's roughhouse approach towards a newbie.

If Bob was looking to strike fear into the hearts of wrasslin' trainees everywhere, he succeeded.

Holly was another who earned a hard man reputation for taking zero sh*t and sticking up for the industry at every turn. Apparently, he felt guys like Cappotelli were taking WWE's lifestyle lightly, so he decided to teach them a lesson. That, according to guys like Al Snow, JBL and more, was just 'Bob being Bob', even if he was heavy-handed.

The bruises he left on Cappotelli's body became a chilling reminder to rooks everywhere that WWE wasn't an easy gig. Watching his super-stiff blows on someone who blatantly doesn't know how to cope with them is difficult even now.
