Loss Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Posted July 20, 2011 Brief promo. Holly shows some promise. Quote
Cox Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 I think this is pretty much the end of Holly's run as he went back to working his "stupid welding job" (tm David Bixenspan). I'd have liked to have seen how Holly grew into his role here as he was being positioned as a big deal. Quote
Mad Dog Posted May 13, 2012 Report Posted May 13, 2012 Which promo was this? Was this the one where he was assuring the fans that he wasn't dating Julia Roberts? Quote
El-P Posted May 13, 2012 Report Posted May 13, 2012 Nope. He talks about the tournament and that's it. I don't even know why anyone would want to save that honestly. I won't. Quote
Mad Dog Posted May 13, 2012 Report Posted May 13, 2012 Oh, this is the one where he says it's easier to beat the champ after the tournament then have to beat four guys in one night? I remember it I think. I liked his logic but I don't remember it being great or anything. Quote
MikeCampbell Posted September 22, 2012 Report Posted September 22, 2012 It's weird seeing Bob Holly like this, given how much of a total disconnect it is from the real person. The bit about why do all the work to win the tournament when he can just beat the champion in one night is a nice touch though. Quote
WingedEagle Posted March 12, 2013 Report Posted March 12, 2013 Hollywood has the most awful glasses ever and will not waste his time beating 3 men in the SMW title tourney. I kind of like this alternate universe Holly. Quote
PeteF3 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 Oh, I think a look at proto-Holly was worth it. He literally didn't do anything in SMW besides work squashes and cut promos, though. Quote
xlynwoodx Posted August 28, 2014 Report Posted August 28, 2014 The transition of Bob Holly from this clip to Hardcore Holly is hard to believe. He's wearing one of the most amazing pair of sunglasses you will ever see. They're swans. Ends rather suddenly, was this the end of the promo? I really wanted to hear more about Bob Holly hanging out with Julia Roberts. Quote
GSR Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 Bob Holly was driving down Sunset Boulevard with Julia Roberts by his side and she asked him if he was going to be in the SMW title tournament. He says that why should he have to beat three guys when he can beat anyone, anywhere, anytime, and all he has to do is wait around for the champion to be crowned and then he can go out an beat him and become the champion. Holly had featured pretty regularly in SMW up to this point and I think this brief promo was a way to explain why he wasn't in the tournament whilst everyone else is (including a couple of guys who haven't even appeared on TV yet in Dixie Dynamite and Scott Anthony). If this was the final appearance of Holly in SMW it's a shame as he showed an awful lot of promise in his squash matches, although he looked more like a member of the Hart Foundation with his pink and black outfit than someone who mixed with Hollywood A-listers.

garretta Posted January 9, 2016 Report Posted January 9, 2016 Holly seems like the perfect heel for SMW here: rich and snobbish enough to be (supposedly) dating Julia Roberts and arrogant enough to believe the title tournament's beneath him. I like the idea that he's waiting to beat one guy rather than three, and I wish he'd stuck around long enough to put it into practice. I guess being a welder was just a bit more steady (not to mention lucrative). Quote
dawho5 Posted April 8, 2020 Report Posted April 8, 2020 Amazing sunglasses! And am I the only one who doesn't believe it for a second when Holly claims to have been in Hollywood with that accent? Quote
