* [[UnrelatedBrothers Unrelated Cousins]]: With Wrestling/BobHolly and Wrestling/MollyHolly.

* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: "Crash" is not a name. It looks even more ridiculous when you consider that Bob Holly had previously had a wrestling ''race car driver'' gimmick.

* ButtMonkey: While teaming with Hardcore Holly, When they weren’t constantly bickering and beating each other up, Crash almost always took the fall. He also had a knack to be squashed by more competent wrestlers who were on the midcard like Albert, Bradshaw and even Jacqueline

* TooDumbToLive: During his reign as WWF Hardcore Champion, Crash introduced the 24/7 rule, meaning the title could be defended 24 hours a day, seven days a week, anytime, anywhere (as long as the challenger was accompanied by a referee). Unsurprisingly, this led to the Mean Street Posse attacking Crash in his hotel room, followed by Wrestling/TheHeadbangers chasing him to an indoor playground called "Fun Time U.S.A.", all in pursuit of the Hardcore Championship. Wrestling/DeanMalenko followed Crash to a bouncy castle, while Viscera went after him to [[Wrestling/TheAcolytes the APA's]] office. Even a WWF referee, a clown, and a masseuse tried defeating Crash to become the new Hardcore Champion, forcing the champion to continually escape a pin and keep running for his life.
