    To follow on from the very entertaining Intercontinental Championship tournament hosted by our very own ShagNastii, I thought we could change direction a bit and go with one of the lesser prestigious, but more fun, titles that people remember fondly from the attitude era. The Hardcore Title came into existence in late 1998 and featured until 2002. Having being defended everywhere from a river to an airport, this strap has had 52 wrestlers hold it at one point or another. Many of these were on house shows and were for less than a day so a few have been cut for the sake of clarity and convenience.

    I have gone with the blind draw again so you will only discover the participants as they come up. I hope you enjoy and we can all reminisce about some fun memories.

    All first round matches will be decided by the first wrestler to acquire four votes
    Round 1


    The Undertaker

    ''You're a dead man walking''

    I'm gonna go with Undertaker. Mainly for the match in which he won the title at Vengeance '01 against RVD.

    also because Dreamer had ruined the European title in that picture above. :pac:

    I'm gonna give Tommy Dreamer a vote. He never got a meaningful ECW Title Reign in its original incarnation and I think this went some way in validating his reputation.

    Dreamer. The Hardcore title just isn't a title I'd really associate with Undertaker, I'd have it much closer to Dreamer.

    Big Evil advances at the expense of the ECW Original in a good matchup. This, I reckon, will be more one sided.

    Raven

    Raven, hands down. I'd be surprised if Raven didn't make it quite far in this to be honest.

    The former McMahon stooge feels the full Raven Effect as the man from the Bowery flocks on with a whitewash.

    The Big Shot goes through. This title gave this man a career to be honest so it's only fitting. Next up in Round 1:

    Bradshaw

    And as a bonus, his custom Hardcore Texas Championship

    Rob Van Dam for me. Coincidentally, today 12 years ago Rob won the hardcore title to combine it with the IC title.

    RVD. Really brought the Hardcore title some prestige in it's last year of existence. Had some awesome matches too (vs Jeff at Invasion. vs Taker at Vengeance)

    RVD. His match with Jeff Hardy during the alliance era was easily a standout and their two styles meshed perfectly

    Rob Van Dam for me too , Everything about him screamed hardcore especially his ECW moveset when he was allowed to use it, The Vandamninator was an aweseome finisher

    Mr Monday Night defeats the Texas Longhorn in a landslide victory. This next match features two invaders, one of whom was the first man from outside to capture a title during the Invasion.
