Bob 'Hardcore' Holly was an enforcer for the Smackdown locker room when he returned from major neck surgery in late 2003. He already had a rep for being stiff in the ring and testing rookies on their backstage etiquette, but he ramped it up a notch in 2004.

He did not suffer fools gladly. So when Rene Dupree got a speeding ticket in a car registered in Bob's name (and forgot to tell him about it leading to a messy legal issue), Holly decided to take out his retribution in the ring. Before a November 22nd, 2004 house show Holly told Dupree that he better 'learn how to fight' because they were 'fixin' to go'.

Holly and Charlie Haas clashed with Dupree and Kenzo Suzuki later that night in what was essentially a glorified excuse for Holly to exact his revenge. The office had to know about what was going on. Holly blasted Dupree with an evil chair shot, laid in a few more stiff punches to Dupree's head and face.

Dupree managed to flee but Holly followed him backstage and beat the s*** out of him again. Holly was fined $10,000 for his actions but had no regrets and said he'd do it again. Holly and Dupree were able to bury the hatchet and work with each other without incident later.
