If that's true, shame on Holly. It wouldn't surprise me to see him released because of that. It would honestly be ironic that the guy who claims everyone should pay their dues, gets fired because he worked stiff with a new kid.
I usually defend Holly. Through his push, through his matches, through his crowd reactions (which are great), and even through Matt Cappotelli, Carlito Caribbean Cool and all the injuries he has either sustained or put people through (supposedly) in his career. But if Hardcore really did beat up on that kid, I really think enough is enough. No matter how big you think you are or how much you've put into the business yuo can't go hurting people, even if they did do something. I can't think of ONE thing other than pull out a gun/knife that Rene could have said or done that warrants an attack like that.
I hope this is just people getting too carried away with Hardcore's reputation, and complimenting Rene's acting skills (which are superb). I honestly wouldn't lose any sleep if Rene, Kenzo and/or Charlie Haas got some retribution for that. Hell, it would be great if Hiroko and Fifi got their kicks in. If Holly did do all that, he jeoprodised all those men's/women's/dog's careers by possibly throwing the ENTIRE match out of whack.
I am found myself filled with disgust while writing that. I can't say I'll ever wrestle and I can't image what guys like Hardcore Holly have to go through to stay in shape and get into the ring on more than a weekly basis, and I certainly can't understand the frustration guys like Hardcore Holly have felt getting excellent fan reactions at times, while putting on decent matches and being loyal to the comapny for as long as you have to have seen them all come and go while you're the only guy that hasn't really shifted on the roster, and will probably either be wrestling in mid-card matches your entire life, or working as a road agent and follwoing the same hectic schedules, or getting a part-time job at McDonald's or Burger King.
I respect Holly's passion, and I can't say I've ever stuck with anything other than breathing for as long as he has wrestling, and more importantly the WWE, and at times I'd even call myself a Hardcore Bob (Holly mark), but I CANNOT for the life of me support his actions during that match and after it if he did what was reported.
I sincerely hope that he didn't. Not only for Rene's sake. Not only for my sake as a wrestling fan and a Hardcore fan, but for Hardcore himself.
