16 Most Illustrious Fake Families In Wrestling History
6. The Hollys
Bob "Hardcore" "Sparkplug" "STP" Bobcore" Holly was a journeyman grappler for years who never really gained traction until he was paired with his supposed cousin, Crash. Dubbed "Elroy" by the announce team, the pint-sized Crash claimed to be a super-heavyweight, tipping the scales at "well over four hundred pounds." To illustrate their point, Crash and Hardcore would come to the ring with their own, definitely-not-rigged athletic scales.
The two cousins were eventually joined by a distaff counterpart in Molly Holly, who soon established a star-crossed romance with Spike Dudley. A white trash pastiche of Romeo and Juliet ensued, with the Hollys as size-exaggerating Capulets and the Dudleyz as furniture-destroying Montagues.
Ultimately, the Holly "cousins" were most successful when not competing as a unit; Hardcore enjoyed numerous underwhelming singles pushes, while Molly became a two-time Women's Champion and Crash defined the 24/7 era of the Hardcore Championship.
