Crash Holly may have been undersized regardless of the era, but he became the “Houdini of Hardcore” and became the face of the Hardcore division. He pluckily fought any competitor regardless of his weight disadvantage and when he won the WWE Hardcore Championship and boldly stated that he would fight any contender 24/7, he unleashed a new era in the upstart division. The Hardcore Title has long since been retired, but should anyone be the face of it, it would be the 22 time champion. Sadly, he has since passed away, but there is no denying his place in WWE history.

Should Crash Holly be in the Hall of Fame?
