Well, one of us had the bright idea to do our own SoBros take on the drunk history phenomenon, and tackle one of the most fun and creative angles in WWE history: the Hardcore Championship, and its 24/7 rule.
Join myself and some friends who shall not be named as we discuss the early days of the Hardcore Championship and how I thought it was just a gift to Mick Foley and not an actual title. The 24/7 rule actually, oddly enough, came into play after Crash Holly announced it in Nashville. We compare it to today’s 24/7 Championship and then reflect upon why it works in 2019.
Then, it’s all a trip down Memory Lane – we talk about our favorite champs, our favorite weapons, favorite hardcore matches, and even some modern indie wrestlers who would’ve been a perfect fit for a run with the Hardcore Championship.
Somewhere in there, I also ask if the WWE should factor in Hardcore Championship reigns to their Hall of Fame consideration. I mean, guys like Raven and Crash Holly, plus what they meant to the overall enjoyment of the show, deserve consideration, right?
Overall, this was one of my favorite shows that I’ve ever been apart of. A lot of fun, even if it did take me a full week to edit it.
