This day 8 years ago the wrestling world unfortuatly lossed another talented performer he was known for his antics in WWE as the Hardcore Champion i am talking about Crash Holly. Crash real name Mike Lockwood debuted in a local Bay Area promotion in 1989 where he fought until 1994. Originally Michael Modest one of his trainers & Crash were pegged to join ECW being signed by Taz but he only had a breif stint their because of try-out match he got with the WWE and recieved a contract. After 6 months in WWE development he debuted on WWE TV in August of 99 as Hardcore Holly's cousin. As a team they were more so used to put over the more established teams on RAW & at ppv's, until October 18th 1999 when Hardcore & Crash def Rock n Sock Connection on RAW. On February 24, 2000 Crash def Test to win his first Hardcore Title & made the Hardcore title 24-7. He went on to hold the Hardcore title 22 times in the time the title was in existence. His next milestone came on the March 18th episode of Heat against Dean Malenko when won the Lightheavyweight title. He held the title for a month before losing it to the debuting Jerry Lynn. In mid 2000 he defeated William Regal for the European title at Rebellion but lost the title back to him 2 days later. After his release from WWE he went to TNA this in 2003 only wrestled 2 matches for the company before his death. Mike died this day 8 years ago from what is being called now a suicide the wrestling company New Breed Wrestling Association made the Mick Lockwood memorial tournament. The first one was won by Michael Modest someone who had a hand in training Crash.

WWE Fast Lane 2015: PPV Predictions

WWE Fast Lane: WWE Tag Team Title Match: (c) The Uso's vs Cesaro & Tyson Kidd As the Tag division gets smaller and smaller in my book the expectations of this match should be getting higher, because the smaller the division the more weight it puts on the shoulders of the teams in the division. I do firmly believe if they give this match the time it could be a good match, as these teams I feel have good chemistry in the ring with each other. I think Cesaro and Kidd walk away with the titles after Nattie turns heel helping Tyson & Cesaro win.

I hope Kelly or WWE dont burn the bridge preventing a possible return for Kelly if she does decide to go away from WWE becuase she is a very marketable talent. The future for the now Former Executive Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis still isnt complete termination as it seems he is making a change from an office employee to a guy on the road. As he is apparently booking the house
