Bob Holly was one of the toughest wrestlers to ever step foot in a pro wrestling ring. He was known to go stiff on rookies, back when he was a part of WWE SmackDown during the Ruthless Aggression Era. Holly went on to publish a book chronicling his journey in the wrestling business. He opened up on WWE's dress code rule that Vince McMahon implemented in 2004, and revealed that he wasn't pleased with it.

Holly had a debate with Vince McMahon in a meeting, moments after the WWE Chairman announced the new rule, which stated that Superstars would need to wear business attire while traveling.

Holly told Vince that it wasn't his gimmick, but the WWE Chairman wasn't in a mood to hear his side. McMahon also made it clear that Mick Foley, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and John Cena were exempt from the rule. Holly recalled that he was angry at other Superstars for not speaking up, and silently listening, while he debated with Vince McMahon. Eventually, Holly had to do what was asked of him.
