Little Holly

Crash Holly



Well I did Hardcore Holly some time ago, so it's time for his 'in ring' cousin, Crash. 

Crash Holly, or Mad Mikey, as he was also known [real name, Michael Lockwood]. He began his career in independent feds and briefly wrestled in ECW, before he signed a contract with WWE in 1999. In the WWE he teamed up with Bob Holly to form the Holly's, who were later joined by Molly ['Molly Holly'] to make a trio. Interestingly, while Bob Holly christened himself Hardcore Holly after being a multiple time Hardcore champion, it was Crash who won the Hardcore title an amazing 22 times.

He was released by the WWE in mid 2003 but quickly joined TNA as Mad Mikey.

Where is he now? Lockwood was unfortunately found dead in November of 2003, at Stevie Richards home. There was a half empty bottle of vodka and emptied bottles of prescription drugs by his body. He had recently got divorce papers from his wife and this is thought to be the reason for his recent depression and believed suicide. Lockwood was one of the former ECW wrestlers honored in a video clip at ECW One Night Stand 2005.
