#3 Molly Holly - WWE Hardcore Championship

When WWE first introduced the Hardcore championship, it was intended to be a joke from the get-go. Mankind rescued the broken WWE championship that Macho Man broke up with a hammer and 'fixed' it with generous amounts of glue and tape.

Fans didn't care much for the title until Crash Holly won the belt and announced he would defend the title 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so long as a WWE official referee was present.

This led to one of the most chaotic and fun messes in WWE history, as half the locker room attempted to wrest the belt from Holly.

Another Holly, Molly Holly, would actually win the title for a very brief period before losing it herself. She was one of several women who would hold the belt but not actually keep it for long, but Holly is probably the best known among them for her actual in-ring competition. Thus, she represents the other women who have held the title as well as herself for the purposes of this list.
