Let's say WWE one day decides to bring this belt back. How

>wwe needs another fucking title

No, stop this.

Internet only, 24. hour hardcore. half serious hardcore matches, half funny skits were a midget or a broom stick wins the belt

>>2617923
They should kill the US title and replace it with this, and put it on Harper or Strowman.

>>2617938
Nah, keep the US title. Make the Hardcore belt something that wrestlers from Smackdown Live, Raw and NXT fight over on occasion, simply to say that they have the belt on their show. It could make for some interesting rivalry fuel.

>>2617923
make it the network title and it gets defended 24/7 in matches on the network

like you get a notification that zack ryder is defending it against aiden english in a whole foods and it provides a livestream of the match

>>2617936
This but you could throw it on Rowan or Bo Dallas just to give them shit to do. It work really well if you have the wwe app tell you x has won the hardcore title and then you have to watch on their twitter or instagram.

>>2617945
That would be cool if the company didn't already have too many belts
Getting rid of the US would help differentiate SDL

Only problem is you it won't be called hardcore title because wwe is scared that word is too closely associated to porn. Change it to extreme title or whatever bullshit it is now.

They keep the 24/7 Anywhere/Anytime defense rules and make it coincide with the "return" of CM Punk. As in they actually make a deal with him for a return and everything but it stays secret. Then they bring back the title and through some twists and turns and maybe some Heyman involvement it gets awarded to Punk through some sort of ECW legacy shit. Suddenly there's wrestlers coming to Punk's house to beat him up and win the title due to the 24/7 rule, and a pissed off Punk, after fending them off, returns to the WWE on an actual show, furious and ready to beat the shit out of people until they leave him alone but too cocky to just lay down to lose the title.

>The Hardcore Championship somewhat becomes WWE's version of the Ironman Heavymetalweight Title

I like it.

>>2617983
18+

>>2617958
I don't think adding a low tier belt would be too many, gives a reason for guys like Bo Dallas to show up and not be expected to job. Someone like Apollo Crews would probably benefit if they still bottom belts like the European championship.

>>2617986
Really? Is that the best you can come up with?

>>2617978
>ref outta nowhere
Iunno why but I would need this to be Earl Hebner for it to work.

>>2617990
Worked

>>2617990
He saying you don't remember the old Hardcore 24/7 rules of the early 2000s.

>>2617923
Give it 20 years when edgy/alternative stuff hasnt' been cool in a long time and then it'll put butts in the seats.

>>2617994
>>2617996
I'm well aware of how the belt worked back then. I'm just saying that in this day and age, it would be more of a comedy belt like the Ironman Heavymetalweight Title instead of what it was during the Attitude/Ruthless Aggression eras.

>How would it be booked?
24/7. Match can start anytime - worked "live" streams of pre recorded "matches" in random places. Once in a while have a title change at a signing in front of marks(say Ambrose attacks Owens at some shop that paid for it). Have a vote on twitter/wwe.com to choose the challengers/special stipulation. Anyone can win it(main roster men and women, jobberweights, nxt roster, "random" people, Renee, interview robots, Vince).

>Who would be the first champion?
Probably Dean or Owens since they have the "hardcore" attitude. Would like some social media heavy person to win it like, Zack Ryder.
Or just swerve everybody and put it on David Arquette bro.

>>2618010
It would be fun for Vince to win it at one point just to see who is willing to try and take it from him and still having a job afterward.

>>2617923 Dean Ambrose, so he can bring back his props and fight in wacky locations, like Home Depot or KFC.

>>2618019
That'd be really funny, watching shitty phone-cam footage of people trying to sneak up on a napping Vince in order to get a pin on him without ever hurting him or him noticing

>>2617991
Suddenly the WWE social media people start wondering where all these random refs are coming from.

"There could be one hiding in your closet while you sleep, you never know anymore!"

Someone gets really freaked out, and a storyline develops where s/he never showers because s/he's afraid that there's a ref in the room at any time. This becomes a semi-gimmick for a while where noone wants to pin them properly because they stink and shit.

I can see only funny stupid shit coming out of this. Someone call Russo, get Arquette in here!

>two wrestlers beat the shit out of each other and lay on the ground exhausted
>vince walking by talking to some rando "so anyways, i says to trump, ya gotta run, ya just gotta run"
>vince looks down, sees the wrestlers
>pins one of them
>picks up the belt
>continues talking to random guy and walking

>>2617923
"Hardcore" matches in today's WWE would be a fucking joke. That title should stay dead.

>>2617923
Dean would be booked for it. What I really want is Royal Rumble match hardcore title shenanigans. Hardcore champ enters the rumble, mass run ins with refs and multiple title changes during the match.

>>2617978
>3,2,1
What?

>>2617954
The fuck is Zack Ryder doin' in a Whole Foods.

>>2618204
Wrestling English for the hardcore title.

>>2618134
They were mostly a joke back in the attitude era as well to be honest.

>>2617978
Fuck I lol'd

I sort of miss it. The 24/7 rules gimmick was pretty fun.

>>2617923
This is a terrible idea if they don't bring back weapon headshots

>>2617928
Need more titles honestly. Treat all the champions like Lesnar where they only defend the belts a few times a year on PPV.

>>2617923
Matches like this, but unironic and less violent
