Al Snow vs. Bob Holly

[7.0] "Good match for how fun the use of the 24/7 rule works, and this turned into a Falls Count Anywhere and here the parameter is other expecting the matches to be fun and crazy like here going out of bounds, I think the first one I've seen of the PPVs since the first WrestleMania of this kind and stipulation, so very nice. 7/10 [****1/4]"

[5.0] "Knowing what we know now about concussions some of the stuff they did hasn't aged well, guys my list have been freezing outside, fine 1999 hardcore match 5/10"

[4.0] "For me this was all walk and brawl. It was slightly too long and contained within it a strange finish. There were a few interesting spots here and there however but this isn't a match I'll be falling over to watch again anytime soon."

[6.0] "A bizarre hardcire match, it starts at the ring it goes through the crowd, backstage, outskirts of the stadium and it ends by the river. It was fun to watch but the wrestling ain't anything special."

[4.0] "A pretty mediocre hardcore brawl. The action quickly moves from the ring to outside the arena but that doesn't make in any more exciting. In the end, Bob Holly wins the Hardcore Championship which I find to be a weird decision since Al Snow is the one who's been in the HC title picture since the beginning of the year."

[7.0] "Amusing match, nothing amazing but it's certainly memorable that the match ends up in the river, you gotta love that."

[7.0] "The JOB Squad explodes! This was a hoot. Probably the breakout match for both guys, although these hardcore matches would eventually just be prop wrestling. This one ends in the Mississippi River. And it was February. It must have been freezing. I can't imagine that the live crowd enjoyed this, though."

[7.0] "After seeing an unfortunate Match of Goldust/Blue, I liked this, with dynamic action and moved at all times, it was great to go through Backstage, outskirts of the stadium and finally through the Mississippi River. Regardless of the place the action always remains frequent. Although more time in the ring would not have been bad. I recommend it."

[2.0] "This is a pretty lame hardcore match, I don't care at all about either of these guys at this point so the ridiculous action can't get me excited like the Rock vs. Mankind Empty Arena match could for example. I didn't really come out of this with anything memorable to my eye, it was just very boring and that's the opposite of what you'd expect when it comes to the hardcore style."

[7.0] "Fun match that pretty much turned Bob Holly into his better known character Hardcore Holly. You could tell Al Snow loved doing these kind of matches and it goes everywhere including the Mississippi River. The match is very dark once they are outside which was the only major downside of the match for me as you can't really see some of the weapons they use. They pretty much hit each other with anything not nailed down and the finish where Al Snow is trapped in the chain linked fence was pretty creative."

[4.0] "This was pretty much the average hardcore match around this time. Al Snow being tossed into the river was a cool moment but the match itself is nothing to write home about. Hardcore Holly and Al Snow would have a better match at Backlash in 2 months. [**]"

[5.0] "This is the type of hardcore bollocks that I will enjoy from time to time, as they don't have almost any spots planned and just improvise on the go, grabbing every weapon they find. Holly and Snow throwing things at each other was my favourite thing, but still it's a garbage match with a horribly illuminated stuff outside of the arena."

[7.0] "I think this match was really fun, but also really, really stupid. It starts out as many hardcore matches do, brawling around the arena, eventually going into the back. There are some really good looking hits with floor tiles. It even goes outside, and into the river (! ). It looks cold as hell. Holly wins by wrapping Snow in wire, so the shoulders can't be moved (even though it still looked like Snow got a shoulder up). So stupid, but it's stupid fun."

[4.0] "Lol what the hell was this match. I liked the use of all the different weapons and the throwing each other into the river but it wasn't very good overall. 1.75 stars."

[4.0] "I don't have a lot of things to say about this match, all I know is that Al Snow rules and that he should've won."

[4.0] "This is the match that gave Holly his name. Road dogg was injured so he dropped the belt. Snow whacks Holly with a chair to start, they fight into the crowd as Michael Cole notes that Bob was Intercontinental champion for "a cup of coffee". Holly was NEVER intercontinental champion, so everybody shut up already. Snow bops Holly with a fire extinguisher then sprays him and they go backstage, where Snow hits him with a pay phone and quotes "Reach out and touch somebody". Bob comes back with an empty beer cooler and they move into the loading dock, where Snow uses four or five mops to break on Hollies back then pins him for two. They waltz to the street outside, where Snow sends Holly into a concrete wall, and down to the Mississippi river, where Snow headbutts Holly into a wheelbarrow before they fight to the river bank. My favorite spot, they have the guts to fight into the freezing water and continue to battle and Holly uses a tree branch of death for two. Holly knocks Snow down on some chain link fencing, wraps him in it and pins him . Fun little match, but more movie prop hardcore than hard hardcore."

[4.0] "Leif Cassidy vs Sparky Plug for one of the most pointless titles in wrestling - the match you didn't know you wanted to see! Well don't worry, you won't see much of it as it's mostly in the dark by the side of the river near the arena, and you'd obviously see even less if you were actually in the arena. Just a brawl, and the only interesting thing was the ending in the river."

[8.0] "One of my favorite Hardocre matches and one of my best memories. It was the first time that a Hardocre match went to such a big variety of places and everything felt very fresh while the transitions from spot to spot were very good. The trip to the river was the deifinte highlight of the match and is a memorable moment."

[6.0] "Enjoyable match. I thought going through the arena to the outside was fun especially before the 24/7 stuff happened. Great use of the weapons given too."

[9.0] "This match ruled. I think this is one of the most underrated hardcore matches of all time through all companies"

[4.0] "This one is well remembered for being the match where Holly got his ? Hardcore? nickname, along with a famous dip in the Mississippi River. Aside from that though, it is mostly just a generic Attitude Era hardcore brawl with all of the usual spots you would expect. Not bad, but not really good either aside from the spot everyone remembers it for"

[7.0] "10 minutes of pure action both backstage and outside the arena, very entertaining and also it was the genesis of the Hardcore Holly character that honestly was one of the funniest thing on WWF in 1999"

[7.0] "One of the more memorable Hardcore title matches and also one of my favorites. A fun watch that involves a lot of fighting outside of the actual ring and arena. A few nice spots here and there. One of the more popular hardcore title matches"
