10 Wrestlers Who Allegedly Got Other Wrestlers FIRED
9. Mr. Kennedy / Hardcore Holly
The use of allegedly comes into play here, and not for the first time. Hardcore Holly alleges that Mr. Kennedy got him fired. This alleged dispute between two former close friends stems - per Holly - from a blame game in which Holly, who allegedly stole painkillers, reckoned Anderson ratted him out by daubing 'THIEF' on his gym bag. This apparently led to his release.
The Wrestling Observer at the time painted a more stark picture: Holly was in his mid-40s and not over, few people liked him, and they had to cut the budget.
Holly around the time was adamant that Kennedy had f*cked him over, and claimed he'd go to jail if he ever saw him again.
"I would take him out in the woods. Number one, I'd probably take toothpicks and shove 'em up underneath his fingernails. Then, I would take some ants - fire ants - dump 'em all over his body, let 'em bite 'im up real good, then I'd take some alcohol, pour it all over his body, so he wouldn't get infected. If there was an ant crawlin' around his eye or something, I'd probably take my knife and kind of dig it out..."
Those were the words Holly told Sean Oliver of Kayfabe Commentaries, and what's particularly chilling about this rant is that Holly is otherwise economical with his words. He once told a young Edge, who had enquired about the finish to their match, "THE FINISH IS I KICK YOUR ASS". That Holly laboured on this fantasy - Sean had to cut him off - is rather terrifying.
He'd have broken that little sh*thead's ass in half with a rusty chainsaw.
