Not tying to get my butt chewed here, but I gotta ask this. Why does everybody want Foley with the Hardcore title? I get why people want that belt, but why does everybody think it should come w/ Foley? He only held it once, and he didn't really hold it for that long. So many others deserve it more. To be fair, I've never been a big fan of Mick's. While he was a major player in the Monday Night wars era I tend to agree w/ Ric Flair's assessment of his contributions. That being said, there are like 10 people I think of before him when it comes to the Hardcore title. Maybe more.

He was the original hardcore champion. Vince gave him the old broken winged eagle title belt and called it the hardcore title. He was just trying to butter him up before they screwed him over at SS 98 Deadly Game.
If you want someone more synonymous with the belt, who do you want it to come with? Crash Holly because he was a 22 time champion? Not likely. I will gladly take a Cactus Jack with it.

I personally would love to see the Hardcore Championship come with a FB Raven. He held it the most times (27) and I think Mattel would do a great job on making him.

Big Show. Raven. Tommy Dreamer. Crash Holly. Kane. They all enter my head before Mick. And Cactus Jack coming w/ that belt would just prove that Mattel is lazy when it comes to this. He never held the Hardcore title. If it has to come w/ a Foley then it should have been Mankind, or they should do Mankind again.

Al Snow would come with Head...
Mattel actually likes selling figures and a FlashBack Raven would rot worse than the 50 Rey's they have made...
Foley is the logical option, he'll appeal to variety of fans and Foley is associated with WWE hardcore more than any other wrestler.

He never even had to win it. It was handed to him because he di all kinds of crazy(see stupid) things. The belt should be packaged w/ someone who actually earned it. That would actually be a good way to give us a more recent Boss Man, now that you mention it. |

Directly from the WWE Hardcore Championship wiki page...[ColeVoice]And I quote[/ColeVoice] "At the time of conception, the idea was for the belt to be used in comedy segments to play on Mankind's reputation as a hardcore wrestler." Comedy? I would rather it come with someone who actually earned it or held it more than once... Raven, Bradshaw, Tommy Dreamer, Steve Blackman, Crash Holly, Steven Richards...hell, even Godfathers Hoe Bobcat pinned someone to actually gain the belt. |

I know Cactus Jack never held the title. But Mattel has stated 100 times that they cannot make a barbed wire accessory. So I'll take it with Cactus. Quit being so technical.

Unless Mattel goes with Crash Holly, Raven, etc, he's the most likely to come with the title.

Who else would it come with that realistically will get a figure? I highly doubt we are getting Raven or Crash or Hardcore Holly or Stevie Richards or any of the various other champs any time soon. People want the belt and they will pack it with someone who A. we will buy and B. someone they can actually make.
