Guest razazteca Posted May 18, 2003 Report Posted May 18, 2003 Tommy Dreamer was over as champ, Hurricane can make the 24/7 rule work.
Guest T®ITEC Posted May 18, 2003 Report Posted May 18, 2003 The whole "hardcore" idea in WWE has always been weak. Why bother if you're not going to do it to injury-causing lengths?
HurriShane Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 I want it back without the 24 7 rule. It could be something unique to Raw like the Cruiserweight title is to Smackdown.
Guest Boomer Sprinklespax Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 I want it back without the 24 7 rule. It could be something unique to Raw like the Cruiserweight title is to Smackdown. Raw has the Women's Title, which is sadly the equivalent of the Cruiserweight Title. Sadly because the Cruiser Title should be more prestigious, not because I dislike women's wrestling. Anyways, WWF/E hardcore baaaaaad...
Ultimo Dugas Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 I want it back with the 24/7 rule, because I found those segments to be entertaining, not because the Hardcore title was all that harcore or prestigious.
Mecha Mummy Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 The 24/7 rule was amusing, but I totally marked out when Bischoff said that he was getting rid of that rule... and then the bloody HC title was retired a week later. Put the belt on Tommy Dreamer and let him do matches like the Singapore Cane one with Stevie.
Guest Eagan469 Posted May 21, 2003 Report Posted May 21, 2003 I found the 24/7 rule amusing, so I say bring it back
thuganomics Posted May 21, 2003 Report Posted May 21, 2003 24/7 rule can be used very well with the right player. It made a star out of Crash for goodness' sake!
Garth Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 I would like to see it back in some serious good matchs without the 24/7 rule. If they put it on the line in matchs like Raven vs Rhyno at Backlash 2001 it would become presigous again.
Guest natholy Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 They already have to many titles in the fed, let it rest in peace.. It never really had a great run anyway, a few decent matches here and there ie Raven vs Rhyno at Backlash 2001, Road Dogg vs Al Snow Late 1998 Raw... regards nate holynski
Guest Hulkamania Fan Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 I say bring it back with the 24/7 rule. When the hardcore belt was around it got many wrestlers over with the fans and from a low carder to a mid carder wrestlers like Crash Holly Hardcore Holly Al Snow Big Boss Man and some others. Bring it back Vince Mcmahon.
Guest Jimmy Beard Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 i agree bring the thing back, it also acted as a match where technique was needed and in some good matches there was alot of holy shit chants and kill yourself chants, hey how else is the big show gonna look good
Guest Ray Posted June 3, 2003 Report Posted June 3, 2003 Blah, don't bring it back. I don't think there's any room for it now. Without the 24/7 rule , the hardcore title could have been something good. The best hardcore title matches (Raven vs. Rhyno, RVD vs. Jericho) had some actual wrestling in them, and no lame run-ins. Had they done more matches like that, I really think it could have been good. They never will, so don't bring it back.
Guest two_tuff_toddy Posted June 3, 2003 Report Posted June 3, 2003 I hate the Hardcore title and hope it never comes back. It's just a meaningless title to put crappy and pointless wrestlers in to bad matches because the company had nothing better to do with them at the time. I liked it when Vince originally gave it to Foley as a novelty belt to make him feel better but the second it became a regular title it went to shit.
LivingLegendGaryColeman Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 I voted no. It was fun "in the day", but it's over. The title wasn't even a title. It was very meaningless, often times didn't make PPVs, no really intriguing storylines and only seemed to hold down those who had it. The value started rising again with RVD and Undertaker holding it so long, but then it took a jump down with Maven. I don't have a problem with Maven, so I didn't mind, thought it was kind of interesting, especially after the somewhat elevation, but from when he got it, it just went down and ended up being worse than ever, not necessarily because of him, but just how it was handled. I loved the concept and matches back when it was new, but it got too stale and as much as I think there should be a few more titles available to help guys, I just don't see this helping anyone, therefore having no point.
