#5 Hardcore Holly gets dropped on his head

youtube-cover

Bob Holly has built a reputation in the industry for his hard-line stance, and what some perceive to be a bullying mentality.

So when Brock Lesnar was bulldozing his way to the top of the food chain, he crossed paths with Holly.

During their match on SmackDown, Lesnar tried to execute a powerbomb, but could not get the elevation he needed. Instead, Lesnar dropped Holly on his neck, resulting in Bob breaking his neck. Holly, who was also notoriously tough, somehow managed to complete the match — including taking an F-5 in the final moments and was sidelined for over a year.

Rumours then started making rounds online, that Holly had intentionally sandbagged Lesnar, a claim that Holly has since denied.
