Richard Holliday had a face-to-face moment with Bad Ass Construction Worker after weeks of trash talk online — and the whole thing ended up on Instagram.
Bad Ass Construction Worker posted the footage himself, showing what happened when Holliday approached him at a wrestling event after seeing the insults directed his way on social media. The clip starts with Bad Ass Construction Worker filming inside the venue and taking another jab at the scene around him.
“Another wrestling show. Nothing but losers everywhere. Everywhere.”
That’s when Holliday suddenly walked into frame and confronted him directly about the comments that had been posted online.
“Hey, dude, you're the guy. You're the guy. You. You go on the Internet, you call wrestlers losers. You've even called me one. No. Yeah. Remember you said Richard Holliday — dork. Remember you said the mustache guy you don't want me to collaborate with? Bro, I'm here right now, man. I'm right here. Come on. You call me a dork now? Dude?”
The moment looked like it was about to turn physical when Holliday teased throwing a low blow, stopping just short before changing the tone completely.
“Bro, I'm just kidding, dude. I like your content, man. I respect it. Seriously, I like it. Keep doing it, but just so you know I can strike on your bearded ass whenever I want. But keep making the content, bro. It's good stuff, man. Thanks, dude.”
The exchange quickly shifted from confrontation to humor, with Holliday making it clear he was aware of the online insults but wasn’t actually looking to escalate the situation.
Clips like this show how online trash talk can spill into real-life moments at wrestling events — even if this one ended with laughs instead of punches.
