Guest Trivia247 Posted August 27, 2002 Report Posted August 27, 2002 Time too Genuflect on your favorite WWF brand Hardcore Moment late 98-99 Introduction of Hardcore Al Snows Mankinds Roaddoggs The Hardcore holly feud as Hardcore champion 99-2000 The AGE of CRASH HOLLY the Houdini of Hardcore and the 24/7 rule Just a a barrel of laughs watching The Headbangers sliding down that Slide and chasing Crash into the Jungle gym in the Mall of America. Steve Blackman's Only over gimmick as the 4 month holding Hardcore Champion, Hardcore battle royals and people who have no business on WWF TV manage on going into Hardcore title matches. 2000-2001 Raven as the Homeless Shopping cart Hardcore champion, Main Event and Upper level wrestlers As Hardcore champion, Jericho, RVD, Kane, Big Show, Undertaker 2002 Title goes to SHIT given over to Bradshaw.... Tommy Dreamer fittingly enough seeing how he was the last man out the ECW door became the Last Hardcore Champion. Plus the Dozens of Hardcore champions between 98 too 2002.
Guest dreamer420 Posted August 27, 2002 Report Posted August 27, 2002 when the road dogg was title holder I started to get into the belt because he made the matches interesting. when he got injured the belt was traded between bossman, holly, and snow. the road dogg never did return to the hardcore division as I think his fans would have liked. the road dogg's time with the hardcore title was probably my favorite in the belts existance, mainly because it was really the only time the belt was over. tommy dreamer winning the title should have turned the belt around, especially since that the 24/7 rule was gone.
Guest Anglesault Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 My favorite Hardcore moment? Backlash 2001: Rhyno Gores the shopping cart.
Guest Rabbi_wilson13 Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 Yeah, Raven/Rhyno was one helluva match. I really enjoyed that. Shows what those guy could do given time. That be my moment as well, that or the match at X-7 with Kane in the golf cart.
Guest Nevermortal Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 I liked Patterson vs. Brisco in the Evening Gown Match!
Guest CanadianChick Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 That be my moment as well, that or the match at X-7 with Kane in the golf cart. The golf cart was classic!
Guest Anglesault Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 Someone should make video of all classic hardcore moments set to sappy music!
Guest MaxPower27 Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 I agree with the Rhyno/Raven match. Probably the only match that was tolerable on the whole show. Besides Angle/Benoit
Guest godthedog Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 rvd v. jeff hardy, from invasion--jeff KILLS rob with a ddt, rob landing squarely on his head. jeff gave him a ddt, but rob was in position like it was a piledriver. i'd seen some rvd matches from ecw, but i'd never seen him take a ddt before. one of the most amazing things i'd ever seen, & to this day rob van dam taking a ddt is one of my favorite frequently-used spots in wrestling.
Guest BigTim2002 Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 Ummm... Shane falling off the side of the TitanTron at SS 2000, and then Blackman FOLLOWING HIM DOWN WITH AN ELBOW, MUCH? Thank you.
Guest AM The Kid Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 Crash in the kids play area, halarious.
Guest ISportsFan Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 The only times people actually cared: Rhyno/Raven period, Bossman/Mankind/Road Dogg period, Blackman period, maybe in the Dreamer period. The 24/7 thing killed the belt dead. One month is fine, but after that it became lame. Jason
Guest chirs3 Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 Crash in the kids play area is one of mine, too... Hurricane's short lived reign is another one. He should be in the Main Event, damnit!
Guest Spaceman Spiff Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 Mike Awesome running in & powerbombing Rhyno on a ladder backstage to win the title
Guest Maven's Eyebrows Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 Bradshaw tying down Nowinski, pouring baby oil on him, and whipping him with the Hardcore belt.
Guest CanadianChick Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 Bradshaw tying down Nowinski, pouring baby oil on him, and whipping him with the Hardcore belt. ON camera, not off!
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 RVD beating: Angle Jericho Rock Undertaker And feuding with Austin All while wearing Hardcore gold
Guest HossSauce Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 My favorite moment was when it was unified with the I.C. title and buried forever. I've hated the hardcore title since day one.
Guest Flyboy Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 RVD beating Jeff Hardy at InVasion to win the Hardcore Title... oh yes, did I mark out.
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 Al Snow and the European Gimmicks..
Guest AnnieEclectic Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 Recently, the Dreamer period was golden, I loved it. Dreamer was my favorite ECW guy, and still is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time. Dreamer/Richards cane match was priceless. RVD/Taker for the Hardcore was nice too.... Although my all time favorite has to be the inception of the Hardcore belt. "Thanks... DAD!" (I hope that I'm quoting the right bit, but Foley and McMahon were awesome back in the day) -Annie
Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 The Battle Royal at Wrestlemania 2000, and the preceeding couple of months. At the time I just assumed that the 24/7 rule was just to build up to the big Wrestlemania match, and would have been dropped afterwards. I don't know why they continued with it long after it lost all interest.
Guest Ravenbomb Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 Raven/Rhyno was great (well, anything with Raven was) the stuff with Dreamer was great the hardcore battle royal from WM2K was good
Guest eiker_ir Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 the RVD reign in 2001.... Shana falling from the Titantron in SS 200.... and the hardcore matches involving Raven just because i mark for him......
Guest El Satanico Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 Monday August 26th 2002 the day that awful belt vanished.
Guest The Electrifyer Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 The RVD era was the best Hardcore era for me. He really got to showcase a lot of his ECW style moves and he really got over with the fans then.
Guest AlwaysPissedOff Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 The only time I found the Hardcore Title tolerable was during the Road Mutt/Al Snow mini-feud which pretty much had the best WWE hardcore match I've ever seen.
Guest Olympic Slam Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 The belt was really cool with Rhyno and Raven in the spring of 2001. Loved the Backlash match. I also found the belt entertaining when the 24/7 rule was brand new. Watching the Mean Street Posse bumble their way through airports, locker rooms and such was too much fun. Can't forget Crash vs. the Headbangers at "Fun Time U.S.A" or when Crash fought off Patterson and Brisco to meet up with Sameul L Jackson (aka Shaft) at WWF New York. The Steve Blackman and RVD hardcore reigns were fun as well. I'm gonna miss the belt, I was hoping that after the 24/7 rule was killed and it was given to Dreamer that maybe the belt could be treated a bit more seriously.
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 Its early days (Road Dogg) and its final days (Dreamer)...
Guest imajackoff? Posted August 28, 2002 Report Posted August 28, 2002 When VKM handed the belt to Mankind. I was a mark for the Vince/Foley relationship during that time.
