Ideally though, the title would give lower card guys something to do, especially with five hours of main roster TV to fill. It would unnecessarily taint the legacy of the original.Ĭhad Gelfand: I would love to see the Hardcore Title resurrected, as it led to a ton of fun segments in its initial incarnation, but I really don’t trust WWE to give the title much attention beyond when it’s first introduced. Resurrecting the Hardcore Title would very much be like when WWE resurrected ECW. Steven Jackson: I think the Hardcore Championship was of a certain time, and in this current PG age of WWE programming, it just wouldn’t work in the same way.
The way the United States Championship has disappeared while being held by Shinsuke Nakamura is my main worry with having an additional belt. Juan Bautista: The timing is probably right, I’m just not sure if they would utilize it to its full potential. It’s funny – no blood or headshots, but chairs, tables and kendo sticks have become a staple of nearly every PPV. John Corrigan: Although the 24/7 rule would make more sense in the digital age with social media and the constant streaming of WWE Network, the company has neutered hardcore matches to the point that they mean nothing now, anyway. It can be done in the PG environment of current WWE television effectively, and would add an extra element of excitement to which ever brand holds the gold (maybe both?). It would add space for a new category of superstar that used to be prevalent throughout the Attitude Era: hardcore wrestlers. Should WWE resurrect the Hardcore Championship?Ĭalvin Gibbon: Yes. In this edition of The Wrestling Estate roundtable, we look back on the history of the Hardcore Championship.
