Matt Holly Unleashed

Matt Holly Unleashed 1
I dedicate this book to my Mum, Dad,
Rhett, Grandad, Nana, Nanny and my
Grandpa.
None of this would be possible without you.
Prologue
Hi. I’m Matt Holly. You may see my out the
front of wrestling DVD covers, on the
headlines of all the magazines, or
WWE.com. You people would know me as
‘The Ultimate Fighter’ or ‘Triple H junior’.
The Story Of Matt Holly 1

Page 1

Let me tell you something. You cannot just
walk in to TNA or WWE like people think.
Becoming a wrestler is much more
complex. I have trained since I was 12, day
in and day out. The right foods are
essential. Before a show, my tag partner,
HBK, aka Luke O’Meara, always fuels me
with a bowl of Spaghetti Bolognese. This
gives me the energy to go. As some of you
may know, you have to travel often. This
results in jet lag. I am probably lacking 12
hours sleep since my last flight.
Also, I had a lot of trouble with my pigeon
toed feet. I send a clear message out to all
families or kids who are pigeon-toed. If you

Page 2
3
have it checked early like me, you can fix
your feet!
The sacrifices you make are huge. But I
always see my girlfriend, Ashley Massaro.
We live in Greenwich, Connecticut. I have
no children, but I own a dog named Buffy.
She loves to travel.
Anyway, this book outlines my life, success
and my family.
I hope you find out a lot more about me
through this book. Enjoy.

Family
Everybody has a story. You do, I do. We are
all exciting people. But my story starts in a
City named Perth. Perth is located in
Western Australia. Yes, Australia. Luke and
I are the only two wrestlers to ever make it
big-time from Australia. Well, Luke is
originally from New Zealand.
I was born in St John of God hospital,
Subiaco. My mums name is Janene Holly.
She is from Queensland. I love her so, so
much. She is the best, also equal to my dad.
His name is Geoffrey David Holly, born in

Page 5

Perth. I love him so, so much. My most
precious person is my brother, Rhett. I will
talk about him later.
My dad lives in Greenbay, Wisconsin with
Anni. I see him often. He never misses a big
PPV (Pay Per View, Main Event). Dad used
to think wrestling was nothing but fake
acting. But know, you can’t take it away
from him.
As for my mum, she has been to every Raw
since I started. She loves it. Her favourite is
Shawn Michaels senior.
My brother, Rhett, is an up and coming
talent. He has wrestled in OVW (Ohio Valley
Wrestling) for 6 months now, is almost

Page 6
7
ready to make his debut. He is brilliant. He
fights as the hell. He wears Red and Black
tights to the ring and has an awesome
mask. Go the Hell!
The 8th of November, 2007
The 8th of November, 2007, was one of my
favourite days. WWE came to Brisbane. We
had tickets. We wore our favourite shirts,
and drove for an hour to Brisbane. The only
results I remember were:
Jeff Hardy won the Brisbane Cup

Page 7
8
Orton defeated Jeff Hardy
Triple H defeated Umaga in a no
Disqualification match.
It was the best night. We loved it, especially
when Triple H finished off Umaga with a
pedigree. But It was not the first time I had
seen WWE live. I went to Brisbane in March,
2006, to see Smackdown.

Growing Up
My brother and I were not allowed to
wrestle. Somebody always ended up hurt.
This was when I was 12, and he was 8.
But we loved watching it. My all-time
favourites were DX, Y2J and Jeff Hardy.
I always imitated them. One day, Luke
invited me over to watch the 2007
Summerslam. I was wrapped. I couldn’t
really afford to buy a PPV, and he was
watching it- WOW! I went home from school
that day with him.

Page 9
10
Luke O’Meara will always be best friends.
We have been since grade 4. Luke is a black
belt in karate. I love watching it. He has a
lethal kick, now used in WWE as the Sweet
Chin Music.
Luke and I both attended St Andrews
Anglican College, QLD, until we were 12. We
then were home schooled by Ken Kennedy
until we were 16.
Jobs for Wine 17th
January 2008
We decided we were going to train to be
professional wrestlers. We started out
having a dream goal, and we achieved it.

Page 10
11
Luke and I have always been on camera. We
have made movies, wrote plays and have
been in a number of YouTube videos. We
were sitting at Luke’s house on the 17th of
January, 2008. We both wrote a letter to
Mr. McMahon. “Matt, I’m sick and tired of
sitting around. Let’s make an impact. We’ll
film a video of our best moves on my
trampoline, and send it to Vince McMahon
with a bottle of wine,” Luke said to me.
So we washed cars, did jobs and unpacked
the dishwasher, until we could afford a
bottle of wine.
We sent our package away, and waited…
and waited… until the winter in 2008 came,

Page 11
12
we had a letter addressed to the DX
Juniors. We opened it up…
Dear Matt and Luke 17th
January, 2008
Dear Matt Holly and Luke O’Meara,
Thank-you very much for the bottle of
wine. It tasted beautiful.
I watched your video, and I must say I’m
very impressed. If you are serious about
this, call me on 61 63 382747436. When
we come on tour in Brisbane in October,
2008, come with us back to America. I will

Page 12
13
pay OVW for you two to wrestle before
coming to the WWE.
We will fly you to America in our WWE
private jet, along with all the other
superstars.
Please ring me a.s.a.p.
Thankyou,
Vincent Kennedy McMahon
Chairman of the WWE
We were shocked. We grabbed Luke’s phone
straight away.
WE GOT IN!
The phone began ringing.
“Hello?” Vince said into the phone.

Page 13
14
“Hi Vince! It’s Matt and Luke from
Australia. We sent you that video,
remember?” We shouted so loud the
neighbours could hear.
“Hey guys! What do you think?”
Long story short, we accepted his offer, and
he gave us free diamond seats to Brisbane.
He was then going to take us back to
America from there.
WE WERE ONLY 12!
We started to seriously stress out. We
couldn’t stuff up.
I rang my mum straight away.
“WE GOT IN! WE GOT IN!” I yelled.
“Well done, honey!”

Page 14
15
“We are flying to the USA on the 29th of
October. McMahon has given us tickets to
the No Mercy Tour, and he is escorting us
to his private jet,” I yelled in to the ear
piece.
Mum promised me that she and dad would
NOT miss my first show.
Leaving the School
26th October 2008

My teacher, Mrs Shorten, was shocked
about our sudden leave. She was so happy

Page 15
16
for me. Mrs Shorten was my best in school
teacher ever. She was very creative. But we
had a lot of fun. It was great.
I promised to fly her to America when we
win the tag team championship.
And that was St Andrews.

Page 16

The Best Surprise Ever!
26th October 2008

When I got into the car home that day, my
mum was very happy. She said Vince
phoned and offered for mine and Luke’s
parents to come and live in a house in
America. Mum and dad accepted, and so did
Luke’s.
Mum moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She
loves it there. So does dad and Anni, as I
mentioned before, love Greenbay. Below is a
map of Wisconsin.

Page 17
18
Finally, the house show in Brisbane had
arrived. Luke and I were getting ready to
go. At the moment, DX were against Team
Extreme tonight. Luke and I were wearing
our DX shirts, and were crotch-chopping
random people. We were walking through
the entertainment centre, when a muscle
built hand was placed on our shoulders. It
was Vince. “Boys, I’m Vince McMahon. Oh,
are you two really Matt and Luke?” Vince
asked.
“Yeah, my name is Matt, and his name is
Luke. How did you know?” I asked,
sounding very surprised.

Page 18
19
“I saw your video. So, how are you? Did you
know I was escorting you to your seats?”
Vince asked.
“No, it was an awesome surprise,” Luke
exclaimed.
“C’mon, come down to ringside.
Luke and I humbly followed Vince down a
long strip of screaming fans that parted in a
way that blocked off gate 17, the gate we
entered in.
We were seated by Vince.
“Now remember, boys. After the show, you
meet me behind the curtain, OK?” Vince
ensured.

Page 19
20
“Of course, we are very responsible people,”
Luke confirmed in an almost cynical tone.
Tony Chimel’s voice echoed through-out
the Brisbane Entertainment Centre
“Ladies and gentleman, the following show
is the 11th Raw Australian House Show.
Then, the music of The Hardy’s blasted the
Brisbane Entertainment centre. The got a
massive welcoming. Well, almost as big as
DX’s grand entrance.
DX ended up winning, when Shawn got the
music to Jeff, and Hunter got the pedigree
on Matt. It was a double pin. Great show.
9/10.

Page 20
21
Lost
29th October 2008
Anybody who has seen the entertainment
centre would know it’s big. Really big.
Guess what? Me and Luke got lost. We
ended up near the drink stand.
“Excuse me sir, but do you know where the
backstage area is?” I asked him.
“Yeah, but its blocked off by bouncers. Only
officials can enter. Just climb over the

Page 21
22
security barrier at ringside. Just don’t get
seen; you’ll be in trouble,” the man told us.
“Thankyou,” Luke said to him.
We were at ringside. Luke climbed over, me
to follow. We were walking next to the ring.
We touched the sleek, elegant canvas. It
has had some brutal beatings over the
years.
We made our way up the ramp toward the
curtain. It brushed our skin as we entered
the locker room to find a giant man with
yellow teeth towering above us.
“Whatta’ you boys think your doin’ ere’?
Snitsky asked. Gene Snitsky was in a
current feud with Cody Rhodes.

Page 22
23
Snitsky was an offensive lineman for the
University of Missouri Tigers football team.
Snitsky wrestled in Ohio Valley Wrestling as
"Mean Gene" Mondo, the kayfabe brother of
Mike Mondo. He signed with Allentown, PA
based World Xtreme Wrestling under the
name "Mean Gene" Snisky (a name inspired
by "Mean Gene" Okerlund) and won the tag-
team championship along with his partner
Robb Harper as the Twin Tackles. When he
entered singles competition, he won the
wXw Heavyweight Championship.

Page 23
24
“Oh, sorry Mr Snitsky. My name is Luke
and this is Matt,” Luke confirmed.
“Sorry kids. The names Eugene. You can
call me Eugene, Gene or Snitsky. Vince has
spoken of you heaps. The whole locker
room watched your move-set video. It was
great,” Eugene said.
“Thanks. What do we do here?” I asked,
still in the process of shaking Gene’s hand.
“Oh, quick. Whiz into that room to meet
Torrie. She’s of ring kit designer. She will
explain your story line and ask you what
you normally wear,” Eugene pointed out.

Page 24
25
Costume’s
We walked into the room to find Torrie.
“Hey guys, the name’s Torrie. I’m going to
figure out your move set. Now, you guys
will debut on Heat in three months. Now,
what do you wear Matt, DX tights?” Torrie
asked.

Page 25
26
“We both do, actually. We wear the DX
shirts too in out entrance.”
Those who do not know, wrestlers make a
grand entrance.
“You guys are happy with the ‘Are You
Ready’ DX entrance? Torrie asked us.
“Yes!” Luke screamed loud enough for the
whole locker room to hear.
“Well, Vince asked me to ask you if you
wanted to join DX in a four way tag team
and continue this story line until 2009. If
you do, you will be in several rivalries,
including against Rated RKO an later on
Snitsky and Umaga. Do you accept?”

Page 26
27
“Of course we do!” I yelled out.
We were then handed our new uniform, and
we were escorted out of the room.
The Great Wait (Literally)
Well, those who don’t know, it is a long wait
until 3:30 AM, and we need to pack the
equipment up.

Page 27
28
So, we were stuck in a locker room full of
7ft wrestlers. And let me tell you, after that
show, they stunk. Real bad.
So, we had just walked out of the costume
office when we came across a large corridor
with cream white wall.
Suddenly, we were interrupted by a
screaming man yelling foul language.
“What you mean I got it wrong? Jeff was
before me. I moved the ladder when Hunter
and Shawn went for the clothesline,” the
man yelled quite loud.
“I saw ya, Matt! Jeff and Hunter were
signalling the leg drop, you fool! If you

Page 28
29
can’t read the signs, find another job, like
TNA or something like that.”
You could clearly tell the
We heard a door opened, as Matt walked
towards us. He was 18ft away, but he
stopped dead in his tracks.
“Who are you guys?” he asked us.
“My name is Matt, and this is Luke. We are
starting in this business soon,” I replied
hastily, kind of nervously.
“Oh, I’m Matt too,” he said.
“Do you know where Vince is?” Luke asked
him.
“Yeah, follow through that door. He’s
there.”

Page 29
30
So we followed through that door; and were
shocked. Standing inside that door was the
current Intercontinental Champ, Jeff
Hardy.
“Hey guys, you after Vince?” Jeff asked.
Jeff was pretty tall, much taller than he
looked on TV.
“Yeah, I’m Matt, I said, introducing my
self.”
“We all know who you guys are, so don’t
bother. Oh, Vince is around the back. Just
go through that door.” He pointed to an
old, rusty door. We spoke o Vince.

Page 30

Now, on Sunday we have a big surprise for
you. Get some sleep and You’ll find out in
the morning.
Chapter 2
Make an
Impact
Page 31
32
Three years of training in OVW went by. My
finisher was the Pedigree, and Luke’s was
the Sweet chin music, and the
Heartbreaker. The heartbreaker was a
modified power bomb, slamming the
opponents back in an X shape. I developed
a new move called The Cerebral Drop. It
was a spin out Samoan Drop that lands with
their arms and legs out in an X, kind of the
same as Luke’s. I developed a nickname
from some of the boys, such as Forgetful.
Every stop of the tours, I always lose

Page 32
33
something within the mess of my hotel
room. I will explain how hard we worked…
Surprise!
My First Training day was on the 25th
August, 2012. It was a cold winter day as I
felt a body lift me out of bed. I was still ½
asleep when I felt a motor running under

Page 33
34
my car seat. I woke to a massive bump
when my unknown driver had hit a bump.
“This used to be the way to Los Angeles,
but they took out the bloody bridge!”
I obviously knew Ric Flairs voice a mile off.
He sometimes gets lost. He is now 69 and is
still very healthy.
“You’re so stupid Ric. There had never been
a road here. You always say you know
where to go, but you always get us lost. You
suck, Ric.”
Judging by that voice, I instantly knew it
was Hunter.
“Shut, up… I never killed the teddy”

Page 34
35
Now that voice was Luke on the floor, sleep
talking.
“Luke, wake up!” I yelled.
“Where are we?” he cried.
“I’m not sure, but we are in a car with
Hunter and Flair.” I explained to him.
“Where are we going?”
“I don’t know. I just really woke up.”
“Shut up, Ric. Take us to the damn Staples
Centre!”
“That was Batista!” Luke cried.
“Yeah, and he sounds pretty pissed off at
either Ric or Hunter.”
Nice going, Ric. You’re creating an
X-cellent ride for us.”

Page 35
36
“Holy Jesus, that was Shawn Michaels!
Where are we going?” Luke said.
“I think Vince is taking us to Vengeance!”
Vengeance is a WWE PPV. An expected
91,000 WWE fans turn up every year for
this event. This time it is at Colorado
Springs…
The Car Stopped…
We sat still in the now motionless car with
great dismay. Where would Vince intend to
take us? I thought that over several times.

Page 36
37
Hunter was expressing himself even more
toward Ric now.
The door opened. Ric was staring at us.
“You boys seen it too, didn’t you? You
know there used to be a bridge just over
there?” Ric whispered.
“I dunno, Ric. I suppose there is a chance,
seeming I’ve never been to the US before.
Where are we?” I asked him.
“Oh sorry boys, I forgot to tell you. We are
on the way to Colorado Springs. Your
parents are there waiting, as you will be
attending the RAW before Vengeance. If you
wish to come to Vengeance, please ask
Hunter and he’ll give you tickets.”

Page 37
38
Ric pulled out a piece of paper.
“Right, Matt, nick around the back of the
truck and see Hunter. As for you, Luke,
around the front of the car is Shawn. Now
be off with you.
Hunter
I staggered around the side of the car, kind
of nervous. Luke always told me you may
see somebody many times, but you only
have one first impression.

Page 38
39
I crept around toward the back, and poked
an eye around it. No body there.
I turned to walk back to Ric, when I was
elevated far above the ground, into the air.
“Whata you think your doing, ya’ little
scoundrel? You just got lifted by Hunter!”
Oh my god, lifted by Hunter? What a day!
“Hey Hunter, my names Matt. Am I heavy
to lift?” I asked.
“No buddy, I’ve lifted much heavier. I lifted
you into the car this morning. Now, Vince
has properly told you he has a surprise to
tell you. In the WWE, everybody has a
trainer. I have been selected to be yours.
We will train with Shawn and Luke. That

Page 39
40
way we can teach you both the same
moves. You need to learn how to fake the
sledge hammer shot.”
Triple H (Hunter) is very well known for his
signature weapon of choice, the sledge
hammer.
“You need to hold your hand over the metal
bit. You also need how to take a big fall and
how to land. Let’s go to Colorado and I will
explain more,” Hunter supposed.

Colorado
Those who know the States of America well
you would know that It is a long way,

especially from Greenbay, Wisconsin. We
are now sitting upright in the car, and a
droning noise echoed throughout the now-
recognised limousine. That buzzing sound
was the metal black wall that divided the
back compartment from the front was now
descending at speedy rate. At first Luke
pointed out he could see Hunters hair, and
I saw a glimpse of Shawn. At last, the wall
revealed an open space where the wall
stood just seconds ago.
“Hey boys, I’m Dave. Dave Batista.”
For those who do not know, Dave Batista is
the former World Heavy Weight Champion.

Page 42
43
His real life name is spelt Bautista, now in
wrestling spelt Batista.
“I’m Matt and this is Luke.
We shook every wrestler’s hand, and
continued talking for the rest of the
journey.
The Westin Tabor Center,
Denver, Colorado

Page 43

We stayed at the Wesin Tabor Center,, Denver,
Colorado. It was absolutely beautiful.

marked below.

Here is a photo of where we stayed:
As soon as I walked into the hotel with the
boys, I almost died. Sitting around the pool

(above) was every superstar and Divas on
the roster.
A super star is the cool name for a male
wrestler, and a Diva is the fancy name for a
girl wrestler.
I was called over by Mark Henry.
He weighs 420 pounds and competed at the
1992, and came 10th in the Super
Heavyweight class.

“I’m Mark. And this is Eddie. In wrestling he is
known as Umaga. Oh, and this is Nelson (Big Daddy
V)”
“Hey guys, how are ya?” Luke asked.
“Good. My board shorts are very tights!” Nelson
exclaimed. Big Daddy V looked nothing less than
disgusting in his purple boardies.

Big Daddy V jumped into the pool, creating
the worlds largest bomb dive. It splashed
litres of water out of the pool.
“Hee hee, just the way I like it.”
“Boys! Come over here!” Vince called out.
We made our way over to Vince, who was
standing with the Undertaker (Mark
Callaway), Hunter and Shawn.

Stay AWAY FROM ORTON
“Here in the WWE,” Vince said, “There is a
lot of experienced wrestlers. Do not cross
them of challenge them In any way at all.
Stay away from Randy Orton. He is a lot
more vicious than he is in wrestling!”
“And stay away from Khali. And DON’T
insult him, because he knows a couple of
words in English,” Mark exclaimed,
laughing loudly.
“No, he’s a good bloke. But seriously kids,
stay away from Randy and who he’s

Page 54
55
hanging around with. He’s a shocking
example.”

Page 55
56
On The Way to Vengeance
We geared up for Vengeance when we heard
a knock at the hotel room door.
It was Randy.
“Hey, look who it is, the new kids on the
block. You know it took me 24 bloody years
to even train with the WWE. And you kids
just slot in, right. That Vince has no idea
who he’s hiring at the moment. You kids
ought to consider yourself lucky, you stu-”
BANG! I slammed the door right in his face.
“That will leave a mark!” Luke exclaimed.

Page 56
57
An hour later, Dave Batista picked us up.
“Are you already, kids? We have to pick up
your parents from the motel down the road.
Luke, you will ride with Ric Flair on his
scooter sidecar. Matt, you ride with Hunter
on the back of his 450 cc Dirt bike!”
“Sweet!” I said.
“Cool, but are sure Ric knows where to go?”
Luke asked.
“Look, you never know where Ric is going,
but just be patient,” Dave replied.

Page 57
58
Well, Vengeance was good. Training went
well, and Vince said we were to debut in
August, 5 years later.

Page 58
59
Chapter
Debut
Page 59
60
5 Years later…
We were to debut on Raw, against The
Highlanders, Robbie and Rory McAllister.
So many emotions pulsed through my body.
I was nervous, scared, excited and most of
all, thinking what the crowd would think of
us.
I’m still pretty sure to this day that Luke
feeling almost the same as me.
“Good luck boys, on your first match.
Remember, this match, you are Matt and

Page 60
61
Luke. At the end, play along with the story
line.”
We had no idea what to do, but our music
was Fake It by Seether.
The lights dimmed. This the moment we’ve
all been waiting for. I looked stupid in my
long pink tights.
Hundreds of fans cheered, and hundreds
just stared. We did look kind of cool to the
crowd. Luke stayed humble, while I jumped
around giving high fives and dancing to the
music.

Page 61
62
The match went quick. We got the double
pinfall, Luke buzz-kicking Rory and I
Samoan dropped Robbie.
“]Its funny now, watching that tape of our first
match, seen as though we are the number 1
superstars in the WWE.” Luke comments.
Suddenly, I grabbed the microphone.
“We are the future of the WWE. We are
going to conquer the McMahon era, and
become apart of Degeneration X!” I yelled.

Page 62
63
The Are You Ready song boomed over the
speakers of the Milwaukee Entertainment
Centre. Hunter and Shawn reunited as DX,
and made their way to the ring doing their
cool, uplifting entrance.
They joined us in the ring, and we did the
whole fan hype thing. But the highlight was
crotch chopping as fireworks spit the
atmosphere.

Page 63
64
WrestleMania
Well, we had 6 years with DX until Hunter
and Shawn retired but still came to every
match. We were now best friends outside
wrestling. As me and Luke continued to
wipe out every tag team, and held the
World Tag Team Championship. We decided
we were still DX but we would also manage
each other in singles matches.
Anyway, I was creating this “Heel vs. Baby
face” thing (Bad vs. Good) against Big

Page 64
65
Daddy V (the current WWE Champion. It
started while I was in a match against
Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch, a 2 on 1
handicap match. I won by the pedigree on
Lance, and a spine buster on Trevor. Then
Big Daddy came out. He hit me with chairs,
put me through tables and Samoan Dropped
me on a few occasions. But, I challenged
him at WrestleMania.
I was waiting behind the curtain, watching
Luke’s match against Gene Snitsky for the
Intercontinental Championship. He won by
the Super kick. It was a good match.

Page 65
66
Earlier that night, we were informed by the
current Raw general manager, Paul London,
that we were the last match on, the main
event. Big Daddy and I were delighted.
It was set to be a hardcore weapon match
(No DQ.)
I walked out, with Hunters music by
Moterhead. I did the full entrance as Triple
H Jr., and I did it really well. It was a good
match. I won by pedigree-ing him off a
ladder, through a table of barbed wire. I
cried, as I had won the WWE Championship,
and what a win it was.

Page 66
67
I was the champion on and off for 10 years,
but when the training centre MHWS (Matt
Holly Wrestling School) opened, I worked
their full time. The WWE’s new talent was
my brother, Rhett. What I life I had.
Pleased look out for my new DVD, to make
a champion.

None of this would be possible without you.

Hi. I’m Matt Holly. You may see my out the

front of wrestling DVD covers, on the

headlines of all the magazines, or

WWE.com. You people would know me as

‘The Ultimate Fighter’ or ‘Triple H junior’.

The Story Of Matt Holly 1

Let me tell you something. You cannot just

walk in to TNA or WWE like people think.

Becoming a wrestler is much more
