So both Crash Holly and "Screamin" Norman Smiley were known for their hilarious and entertaining hardcore title runs. Crash found new ways to get away from his opponents during the 24/7 rule every week, while Norman always seemed to win out of sheer luck and by accidents. Both were on top of their promotion's hardcore division around the same time, and it was pretty entertaining stuff. So who did you guys like better?
I loved both of them alot but gotta give the edge to "Screamin" Norman. I was 10 at the time both of these guys were doing their stuff, and enjoyed watching both, but Norman's constant screaming was great stuff. I remember one match where he was in an "I Quit match but couldn't say it because he lost his voice from screaming. Norman was also a very good ring technitian, as he displayed quite often before adopting the "Screamin" gimmick. Also can't forget Norman's "Big Wiggle" taunt during his matches. But both were great and were highlights every week for me.

Crash. A million times. How could anyone think that was different? Considering how Crash remade the entire division.

Crash over Smiley for sure!
Crash was so entertaining as the Hardcore Champion. Smiley was okay, but the level of competition that Crash had compared to who Smiley had definitely helped make Crash a much more entertaining Hardcore Champion.

I just loved how Norman literally screamed for help from bell to bell. I gotta say that I loved them both equally.

I don't know if you guys saying Crash for sure have seen Norman's WCW stuff, but most of it is very awesome and should be closer compared to Crash.

Both were entertaining, but Norman seems to have been all but forgotten because he was never in the WWE. The guy did some great stuff that I think is equal too, if not better than some of Crash's stuff. Norman's comedy gimmick also started a few months before Crash's run in the hardcore division, so it is a possibility that Norman was the reason Crash was give his harcore gimmick. Norman had some great moments, like losing his voice in an "I Quit" match, wearing a suit of armor so every time he yelled he would hurt his ears, doing a football dive to escape a match with Meng while he was wearing football pads, and numerous other moments as well. Alot of his stuff isn't on youtube, but everyone should check out his matches w/ Meng and Brian Knobbs, as he showcased his comedy gold in both... |
