A new photo of Hardcore Holly is blowing up online after his wife Linda Howard shared a shot showing the former WWE star in incredible shape at 63.

Howard revealed Holly sticks to a strict routine of two hours of training every day alongside a carnivore diet, built around meat, eggs, and select dairy while cutting out carbs entirely.

The image was first posted back in June 2025 but has resurfaced and is now trending across social media after being widely shared.

Holly, real name Robert Howard, has kept a low profile since leaving WWE in 2009 following a 15 year run. He made only occasional appearances on the independent scene afterward.

Howard also warned fans about a fake “Bob Holly” account on X, confirming it was hacked and taken over. The same account previously impersonated Sid Vicious before switching identities.

During his WWE run, Holly captured the WWF Hardcore Championship six times and held tag team gold on three occasions with The 1-2-3 Kid, Crash Holly, and Cody Rhodes. He also won the NWA World Tag Team Championship with Bart Gunn as part of The Midnight Express revival.

He broke into wrestling in 1988 and joined WWE full time in 1994 as Thurman “Sparky” Plugg before evolving into Hardcore Holly. A broken neck suffered against Brock Lesnar in 2002 kept him out for over a year, but he returned and later challenged Lesnar for the WWE Championship.

Holly released his autobiography, The Hardcore Truth The Bob Holly Story, in 2013.

Hardcore Holly’s wife said on her social media page that he works out every day for 2 hours each day and he’s on the carnivore diet. He’s still in great shape.

WWE is gearing up for WrestleMania 42, set to take place across two nights on April 18 and April 19 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the early picture for the card is beginning to take shape.

While several marquee bouts have already been confirmed, including four world title matches, there is still plenty of speculation surrounding what else could be added to the lineup in the coming weeks.

Among the officially announced contests are Brock Lesnar facing Oba Femi, as well as Becky Lynch going head to head with AJ Lee for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship, giving the show a strong foundation heading into April.

According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, more matches are expected to fall into place soon. One bout that appears increasingly likely is Finn Bálor colliding with Dominik Mysterio, as tensions between the two continue to escalate. Another potential addition could see Sami Zayn meet Trick Williams following their recent issues.

There is also internal consideration for a multi team Women’s Tag Team Championship match, with several teams circling champions Nia Jax and Lash Legend as competition in the division continues to build.

If all of those matches come together, the card would reach around ten bouts, leaving space for several more additions across the two night event. As of now, however, there is no clear indication of what other matches WWE may be planning to round out WrestleMania weekend.

WWE is shaking things up for the 2026 Hall of Fame, and the Legacy wing is getting a fresh spotlight.

This year, WWE confirmed that Sid Vicious and Bad News Brown will be inducted as Legacy Award recipients, marking the first time the company has actually announced Legacy inductees publicly ahead of the ceremony.

But that is not the only change.

According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE has quietly revamped how the Legacy category works. Going forward, the focus is on honoring stars who have passed away, helping streamline the overall Hall of Fame ceremony. That comes after growing criticism that recent shows have dragged on too long, with some inductions feeling rushed or squeezed in.

There is still a bit of mystery around how these Legacy inductions will be presented. Traditionally, family members have stepped in to give speeches for late legends, but it is not yet confirmed if that will continue under the new format.

As for the rest of the 2026 class, it is already shaping up to be a stacked lineup. Dennis Rodman is set for the Celebrity wing, while Demolition will go in as a group. On the individual side, AJ Styles and Stephanie McMahon are also locked in. WWE has yet to reveal this year’s Immortal Moment, a category introduced last year with the legendary WrestleMania 13 clash between Bret Hart and Steve Austin.

The Legacy wing itself has had an on and off history. It originally grouped together classic names like Art Thomas, Ed Lewis, Frank Gotch, George Hackenschmidt, Lou Thesz, Mildred Burke, and Pat O’Connor starting in 2016. After running yearly through 2021, the category disappeared entirely for three years before returning in 2025 with Dory Funk Sr., Kamala, and Ivan Koloff.

Now, with a clearer direction and more visibility, the Legacy Award might finally feel like a proper spotlight moment rather than an afterthought.
