After its inception in 1998, the WWE Hardcore Championship was sought after by some of WWE’s toughest and most unpredictable competitors. From deranged champions like Mankind, Raven and Al Snow to fighting champions like Rob Van Dam, Undertaker, Tommy Dreamer and Hardcore Holly, to unsung heroes like “The Lethal Weapon” Steve Blackman and Crash Holly, this set takes a comprehensive look at the greatest WWE Hardcore Championship matches in history. It’s unpredictable, it’s wild, it’s HARDCORE!

We like it because:

The Hardcore division was one of the most popular parts of the Attitude Era and remains a fan favourite to this day. And you won’t see action quite like this anywhere else – chairs, tables, dustbins, mannequin heads, and even the kitchen sink have all been used in these brutal (and often hilarious) battles.

It’s also great to relive the 24/7 rule, which meant the Hardcore Championship could be challenged for and won at any time, leading to a whole host of sneak attacks, surprise roll-ups, and surprising champions – it’s WWE at its most wacky and unpredictable!

Most exciting of all though is seeing some of the great stars who made the Hardcore division so memorable, with the likes of Crash Holly, Al Snow, Steve Blackman, and Raven fighting to take things to the next bone-crunching level and be crowned the king of hardcore!

Arguably WWE’s most popular ever period, the Attitude Era shocked fans each and every week, and now with Attitude Era Vol. 3 Unreleased, it’s still full of surprises.

Comprised of footage from live events, dark matches, and previously unseen PPV bouts, it contains the kind of brilliant archaic action that the era was known for – not to mention some truly fascinating moments from WWE history.

Included on the set is the first ever encounter between Undertaker and Mankind, rare footage from WWE’s spiritual home in Madison Square Garden, and a never-before-televised collision between the pioneers of Attitude, The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin!

It’s an absolute must-have collection for every WWE fan – and it really is the bottom line!

The New Era takes competition to the extreme at Extreme Rules! In a rematch from their epic encounter at Payback, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns puts the richest prize in sports-entertainment on the line against “The Phenomenal One” AJ Styles in an Extreme Rules Match! The family feud between the Flairs and the Harts writes another chapter as Natalya challenges for the WWE Women’s Championship against Charlotte in a Submission Match. And for the first time ever in WWE history, Chris Jericho and Dean Ambrose face each other in a match more twisted than “The Lunatic Fringe” himself… an Asylum Match!

Synopsis:

Fatal 4-Way Match For The Intercontinental Championship
The Miz vs. Cesaro vs. Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn

We like it because:

Extreme Rules is also the one night when WWE throws the rulebook out of the window, and puts its top Superstars to the test in a whole manner of innovatively brutal match-ups! The result is the most high-octane and hard-hitting event of the year, as the Superstars of the New Era fight to prove who is the most extreme!

Roman Reigns and AJ Styles put on a hardcore classic in their battle for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship – with a shock ending that changes the face of the WWE title race!

Meanwhile, Chris Jericho and Dean get seriously crazy in the first ever Asylum Match – complete with barbed-wire 2x4s, nunchucks, and even a straitjacket – and The Miz, Cesaro, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn steal the show in a four-way war over the Intercontinental Championship. Packed with lighting quick exchanges, dramatic near falls, and jaw-dropping moments, it perfectly sums up the electric action we’ve come to expect from the New Era – truly extreme!
