PW Boards Hardcore Championship Tournament (24/7 Rules apply!)

JP Liz V1

Gotta be the lethal weapon Steve Blackman, very entertaining champion and more synonymous with the title

Omackeral

I'm gonna give the Bossman a vote here. Felt he was winding down but that this style suited him so well. The whole enforcer thing with his SWAT gear looked awesome and he just seemed quite bad ass. He's also the second longest number of days with the title at 154 days spread over 4 reigns.

Blackman just edges it for me. Loved his bag of tricks. Hardcore suited him. Wwf/e could have got more mileage from it too.

gerrybbadd

Blackman. Much better in ring performer, and had some great matches in the hardcore division

Omackeral

The Lethal Weapon Steve Blackman gets by the Corporate enforcer 5-1. There is one last place up for grabs in the quarter finals. Let's see who will claim it.

Hardcore Holly

"How Do Ya Like Me Now?"










Vs




Rhyno

"Hardcore....Core....Core!!!"

hufpc8w3adnk65

Gotta be Hardcore Holly. The man actually became relevant and got over after he dropped the spark plug bit and went hardcore. Had some great matchs in the division too

Sin Eater

Hardcore Holly, for pretty much the same reasons as MRMac, the title made him relevant, and also I'd say he helped make the title relevant. With men like Holly involved in the chase for the title it easily outshone the European title for a time.

gerrybbadd

Loved Rhyno, looked like a legit killer... However, can't pass over old Sparky Plugg. Hardcore Holly wins for me hands down. He's named after the belt and all (I know he's not, but still)

Omackeral

Rhyno excited me a little bit more tbh. His gore and doing it through tables was savage. His match vs Raven at Backlash 2001 is a classic in my mind. Rhyno gets my vote

Concannon7

Rhyno just because his gore looked awesome.

ricero

hardcore holly gets my vote always enjoyed seeing him with the belt and his rivalry with al snow

Necro

Rhyno, pretty much all of my reasoning is stated above. Just suits the hardcore championship.

CSF

Hardcore Holly, was a far more prominent part of the hardcore title scene when it was at it's best.

Never really liked Rhyno. The gore was good. But that's it for me.

Holly wins

Angron

Holly, I have more memories of him with the title. He's the hardcore one after all :P

ShagNastii

Before he became that bland old guy that lasted waaaay longer than he should have Hardcore Holly and the Holly family were wholly entertaining.

JP Liz V1

Holly for me, I remember more his matches and his name is Hardcore

Blue_Dabadee

Hardcore Holly for me, his best tenure in the company was when he was Hardcore Champion.

I can't even remember Rhyno's reign as Hardcore champion other than his match at Backlash 2001.

Omackeral

We have our list of quarter finalists for the PW Boards Hardcore Tournament. They are;

For this section of the tourney we are going to invoke the 24/7 Rule. So the title can change hands an infinite number of times (just like the real strap) until a 5 Hour time limit expires.

-Each poster may post as many times as they like but not twice in a row.
-Clearly state who is winning the title. For fun, add in how they're winning.
-The winner will be the last man holding the title before the buzzer expires.

1/4 Final Match- Time Limit 21:50


Al Snow

''What does everybody want?!?''










vs





Raven

''Quote the Raven, I'm Hardcore''

CSF

Al Snow. As well as being able to go just as well as Raven in a hardcore match, he also had the entertainment factor that Raven never did.

brianregan09

Raven is the original hardcore wrestler for me , Raven had an excellent ring psycology and storytelling, He probably didn't get a proper run in the WWE but anytime he was on screen loved it , Al Snow on the other hand was Attitude Eras Santino if i'm been honest a pure comedy worker

ricero

Al show gets my vote some cracking and bizzare hardcore matches during the attitude era

hufpc8w3adnk65

Have respect for lads who get themselfs over so Al snow!

Omackeral

At the minute Al Snow is in the drivers seat. Im gonna put Raven over him with a shopping trolley shot to the head, no pun intended. Remeber lads, you can vote as much as you like. Last man standing wins...







Just to reiterate, it's not most votes goes through, it's last man to be voted for before the time expires. So vote as much as you like. Reasons aren't exactly important if you're voting more than once!

hufpc8w3adnk65

Al snow with head for the win!

JP Liz V1

I'll give it to Raven, he had the most reigns

ricero

The sexy pony tailed beast that is al snow

Necro

Raven with a raven effect on a stop sign!

Omackeral

And there is the nature of the beast of the 24/7 rule. Snow dominates but the opportunistic Raven is the last man standing with a half hour to go and flows into the Semi Final! Next up to battle through the night....

1/4 Final Match*- Time Limit 03:49

Hardcore Holly

''How Do Ya Like Me Now?!''










vs





Mankind

''Have a Nice Day ''

*24/7 rules are in effect. Last man to gain a win progresses. You may vote as many times as you like.

Necro

Mankind with the mandible claw for an early submission victory

Omackeral

Hardcore Holly after dipping Mankind into the Mississippi River and rolling him up in chain-length fencing for the pin on the bank.
