The Holly Cousins were a tag team of Hardcore Holly & Crash Holly in the World Wrestling Federation.
Crash & Hardcore were billed as "cousins", who most of their time fighting each other until they decided to team up, during the time when both men teamed up they took to the gimmick of claiming themselves to be well over 400 lb, so they could be considered "superheavyweights".
Crash and Hardcore even went on to win the WWF World Tag Team titles together, when they defeated Mankind & The Rock also known as Rock 'n' Sock Connection. They went on to hold the titles for weeks before dropping them back to Mankind & his new partner Al Snow.
In late 2000 another "cousin", Molly Holly, was added to the group. The three of them then started a feud with the three Dudley Boyz, but this feud was soon dropped and the cousins all went their separate ways. Crash Holly died in 2003. In 2005, Molly Holly was released from the company and in 2006, Hardcore Holly was shot into Main event status on WWE's ECW Brand. The Holly Cousins are often considered one of the most entertaining Tag Teams in WWE History.
