Do you think Hardcore Holly would just stop wrestling?

DO YA?

He hasn't.

He's still on the circuit, but since nobody is brave or dumb enough to ask him to wrestle David Arquette or some sh*t on WrestleMania Weekend, he is wrestling your more serious types. The prospect of Hardcore Holly breaking that little sh*thead Marko Stunt's ass in half seems a remote possibility, sadly, because Stunt is great and would work a cracking match with him - but also because Holly would interrupt the floss by open-palm slapping him smooth the f*ck out of the ring.

Holly is still hitting those resistance bands hard, because he is in outrageously ripping shape, and he wrestled a staunchly traditional match here. A test of strength took absolutely forever, but Holly rewarded the patience by doing a very Holly thing and caving Kross' chest in with a chop. It even hurt his hand, and that hand still has some of Cody's face on it. It was fairly boring, routine stuff that looked like it really, really f*cking hurt, and then a wild Luchasaurus appeared (!) to distract Holly.

They have to do Holly Vs. Stunt now.
