Triple H vs. Hardcore Holly




Was looking for this match for awhile. I caught the tail end of it in 2000 and always wanted to see it. It finally turned up on Youtube.

Intelligent, sane people will agree that Hardcore Holly was awesome in 99/00 and pretty good after that.

Here he has been calling out HHH for weeks and HHH finally accepted. It was cool to see angles play out on Heat with main eventers. HHH is in full faux NWA touring champion mode. Which is not too good on ppv but results in good stuff when dealing with mid carders.

Has a good narrative of HHH thinking Holly is not in his league and Holly taking Trips down a peg with clubbering. Most important thing is the match feels like a struggle. HHH can never keep the advantage because Hardcore keeps fighting back.

Best moment is Holly avoiding the Pedigree and Jericho runs in and attacks both men. Which normally I frown on but Hardcore Holly fought HHH to a Double DQ so I love it.
