What if WWE brings back the Hardcore Championship

#3 A Hall of Fame Ceremony match

A Hardcore Championship defense could be a fun diversion during the Hall of Fame proceedings.

The annual WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony was only getting started as a tradition when the Hardcore Championship was last defended.

Partly based on timing, and partly based on WWE trying to establish the gravity of the new Hall, we never saw a Hardcore title defense at the black-tie affair.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

To be fair, WWE still might err away from disrupting the relatively serious annual event, for fear it would distract from or diminish the accomplishment of the legends being honoured.

However, most wrestling legends seem to recognize that entertainment comes first wrestling. Moreover, the ceremony has lost some of its appeal with the explosion of wrestling podcasts offering more in-depth discussions with legends on a weekly basis.

Injecting the fun of a hardcore match in tuxedos (or evening gowns) mid-way through the show could be a fun way to freshen up the presentation.
