We like it because:
The Hardcore division was one of the most popular parts of the Attitude Era and remains a fan favourite to this day. And you won’t see action quite like this anywhere else – chairs, tables, dustbins, mannequin heads, and even the kitchen sink have all been used in these brutal (and often hilarious) battles.
It’s also great to relive the 24:7 rule, which meant the Hardcore Championship could be challenged for and won at any time, leading to a whole host of sneak attacks, surprise roll-ups, and surprising champions – it’s WWE at its most wacky and unpredictable!
Most exciting of all though is some of the great stars who made the Hardcore division so memorable, with the likes of Crash Holly, Al Snow, Steve Blackman, and Raven fighting to take things to the next bone-crunching level and be crowned the king of hardcore!
