WWE Raw August 12th, 2002/WWE SmackDown! August 15th, 2002 Watch Along

[Chris]

The Hardcore title is still Bradshaws version... why?

Laziness

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Nah, Dreamer just a Texan now.

 

[Dmac]

That I can believe

 

[Chris]

He's hardcore New Yorker I can't see it

 

[Dmac]

They kept Cena's title for how long?

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I'm surprised the hardcore title is still around. I always thought it got merged right after the European.

 

[Chris]

If you ask a hardcore WWE defender they'll say it stopped being Cena's title once they made it not spin

 

[Chris]

But even that was like 08-09 or something I think

 

[Dmac]

It got merged after Kanes return

 

[Kross Rhodes]

8 years, but they removed the Cena specific stuff when he lost it.

 

[Dmac]

That's how I know where we're at

 

[Chris]

I'm surprised the hardcore title is still around. I always thought it got merged right after the European.

After SummerSlam I believe, I think a full month separates them

 

[Chris]

Shoulda been Matt with two t's match

 

[Kross Rhodes]

After SummerSlam I believe, I think a full month separates them

That makes it a little better since it doesn't seem like the plan was to always remove them both.

 

[Dmac]

8 years, but they removed the Cena specific stuff when he lost it.

Yet they kept the ugly ass title
