Apparently they're going for that crucial "psychopathically violent Texan stockbroker who wears leather chaps" demographic. Either that, or somebody thinks it's a good idea to associate Texas with Three Stooges-level prop violence.
Because, you know, I hear it's all the rage in Dallas.

I think he's really, really stupid, but he's cunning. His actual brain is mostly beer by now, but his little reptile hindbrain has enough instinct to keep him throwing clotheslines and hazing.

| #7 Posted on 16.7.02 1010.30 | If you look closely, that Texas flag is a sticker and I'm betting the horns come off too. There's a new Hardcore Belt, but we're not truly gonna get to see it until someone takes it off of him for more than 20 minutes.

I thought the Triple H DVD Bischoff was watching already did that.

Why can't someone run down Bradshaw with a car and pin him for the strap? It would not only get the belt off of him, thus removing those ridiculous cowboy emblems, but it would put him out for a year like it did for Austin.
Where's Rikishi, that lazy bastard, when you need him?

| #11 Posted on 16.7.02 1025.06 | The inside of the belt appears to be snake skin which is exactly what was on the inside of Austin's old "Smoking Skull" belt. I definitely think it is a dig at Austin and that they are using his old belt as the new hardcore belt.
But, as far as the hardcore belt goes.... Does anyone other than me think the title could be resurrected?
I think that if they would simply drop the 24/7 gimmick (and of course the endless run-ins) and have the belt be defended in no DQ falls count anywhere matches (but keep the action confined to the ringside area) that you could get some exciting brawls and use that belt as a tool to get someone over as a vicious bad-ass. | BobHollySTILLRules

| #12 Posted on 16.7.02 1028.52 | After last night, I'd say give it to Dreamer, have him feud with Steven. Hell, those 2 got themseleves over (if only for 1 night) over the course of one match, rare these days.

| #13 Posted on 16.7.02 1038.28 | No doubt, the title is a joke, but there are things that can be done to bring it back from the brink. The 24/7 thing sucks, I agree, but its not the only thing. Does anyone else remember the good old days of ECW, where guys actually had good matches, even though they were beating each other with trash cans?
If there was a group of guys (and I think you could get some volunteers, Tommy Dreamer) dedicated to those kinds of matches, then it wouldn't be so retarded. Last, but not least, Bradshaw is not one of those guys, and he should stop pretending to be one. |
