Hardcore Holly is said to be on the "endangered" list in WWE. He is not being used, is 45-years old and the feeling is that if someone like the Undertaker doesn't support him with management that he will be gone. One thing going against Holly is his history of working stiff with the newcomers. This is the old-school mentality that the new guys have to prove they can survive in a tough profession. Holly was slated to work with Dibiase and Rhodes in an angle where he was looking for revenge. They pre-shot a promo with Holly, but it never made air because it was a poor promo. The program was cancelled due to that and the fact that they felt Holly would work stiff with them and that Rhodes and Dibiase would end up looking bad at the end of the program.
