Al Snow Doesn’t Think WWE Should Bring Back Hardcore Title

WWE is set to debut a brand new title tonight on RAW, and there are rumors that the company could be bringing back the Hardcore title, which had its run during the Attitude Era from 1998 to 2002. WSVN-TV’s Chris Van Vliet spoke with Al Snow about the possibility of the belt coming back and asked him if the WWE should resurrect it.

He said: “I don’t think so. I think it was the right thing at the right time for the right reason. It kind of organically developed out of it being a joke for Mick Foley and then it just grew from there. In OVW before I took it over, they had a similar title called an Anarchy Title which is where the champion could, basically it was anarchy, he could call his own stipulations no matter how ridiculous based on whatever he wanted to do. I explained that in this day and age, I think it’s hard because every time you have that title on the show and it has a stipulation, it now waters down the stipulations for matches where you have a personal vendetta or a reason that they have to be in this type of a match.”
