The legendary Hardcore Championship...what are the best moments for you guys?
I'd say anytime Crash was Champ or chasing it was the best times tbh. The guy was the face of the whole thing for me...RIP legend.
I also loved the involvement of it at WM18, lots of Title changes & action going on. WM17 was also good with Kane vs Big Show vs Raven.
I also loved it when Taker & RVD was Champs. They both made the belt feel special & important.

Matches like Al Snow/Holly at Valentine Massacre,Al/RD on Raw in the snow, WM 17 triple threat etc just all turn your brain off and have fun matches
My fav champ during its run was Boss Man but no doubt gotta shout out Crash. Perfect fit for that 24/7 gimmick

When it was the normal Hardcore Title type matches that weren't 24/7 I gotta go with Road Dogg vs. Al Snow on Raw, and Road Dogg vs. Gangrel on Raw. Road Dogg somehow made a great Hardcore Champion and at the time that title felt on equal grounds with the European and IC Titles respectively.
During the 24/7 era, I enjoyed Crash's stuff of course. He was a much more entertaining champion than his "cousin" Bob.
Shane McMahon vs. Steve Blackman at SummerSlam 2000 was great too!
Raven's 2001 stuff as Hardcore Champion goes criminally under looked too. He had a helluva match with Rhyno at Backlash 2001 for that title.
Ironically I never cared for RVD's reigns as Hardcore Champion. I felt that he was above that title at that time. I get that he came from ECW and they wanna showcase that in his matches, but I felt he was already IC Title material in 2001 right off the bat.

Perfect title for the attitude era. So many people involved and helped make an entertaining mid/under card.

I loved the matches that started in the ring and ended up backstage or even in the street.
Good times.

By the time RVD got the belt I feel like it was already worthless but weirdly enough was finally being held by important people (RVD, Undertaker, Jeff Hardy) until it got its final hurrah at WMX8 |

I really enjoyed a lot of the hardcore title stuff post mania 2000 to probably around Summer Slam 2000
And then again when Raven was champion in early 2001
Undertaker had a fun run too but the belt was played out by that point

The time Big Show pinned I think Essa Rios against the wall opened up all new opportunities when I would play with my figures haha. That always stands out because I didn’t know that was even possible.
The WrestleMania X7 match is most likely my favorite Hardcore match, I like the WrestleMania 2000 match with the time limit, I would play that all the time in the video games. When Crash would have the matches in all the different places like the Chucky Cheese place or the airport, OMG, that was me and my bothers anytime we went anywhere after we saw that. Everything became a hardcore match

 To me Gerald Brisco will always be king of the Hardcore division, i'll always have that image of him winning the belt stuck in my head when he pinned Crash in his sleep. The commentators whispered: "Ladies and Gentlemen, the new hardcore champion: Gerald Brisco." The referee raising his hand in triumph as he waves the belt around with that goofy smile of his like he had just won the superbowl, all this taking place in slow motion and super quiet as to not wake up Crash.. Sometime later he met up with Pat Patterson showing he had just won the thing only for Pat to celebrate by shaking up a lil bit of the bubbly and getting some in Gerry's eyes and smashing the bottle over his head and pinning him.. Funny how when the 24/7 belt was around, Gerald screwed over Patterson and got his win back after all them years ago.. Pat laying on the ground staring up at Gerry, spewing: "STOOGE!.. you're a STOOGE!" Ol' Gerald Brisco remarks: "Takes one to know one.."  Never trust that crafty veteran.. |

RVD vs Hardy at Invasion
RVD vs Hardy at SSlam 01
UT vs RVD at Vengeance 01
That's what I think of when I think of it.

Crash going down the slide at that play center with the cameraman right behind him immediately comes to mind.
The original 24/7 shenanigans from 2000 are still super entertaining to watch.
