I am interested in your thoughts on this. If WWE were to bring back the Hardcore title to NXT would you be for it or against it. I have been missing the Hardcore title and NXT seems to have more freedom then RAW/SD.

I don't like the idea of the Hardcore Title because it really doesn't help with development or showoff any skill, but a secondary title that some of the lesser known guys could vie for would be great as long as it doesn't become a Zayn as NXT champ and Itami as secondary champ scenario. It'd only work if the secondary belt went to a Fulton/Jordan-type.

I liked the comedy aspect of the title.

I would be happy to see the Hardcore title back, wherever they use it. Especially if it means we have to listen to less promo bullshit about directionless fuck all.

This is where an Internet championship would come into play. It wouldn’t be solely for NXT, and not solely for main roster, just something that would benefit guys in NXT who are ready to be called up, but haven’t been allowed to debut on the main roster. Just defend it on NXT, and other WWE Network shows and specials. It would be suitable for those who want a secondary championship in NXT.

The Hardcore title idea is interesting, but would probably turn NXT into ECW, or the stereotype of ECW anyways.

I've been thinking that the roster is so deep that they do require another belt for the male division. They rarely do a hardcore match down there, stipulations are very nineties but I think these kind of matches are dangerous and these guys are just beginning.

A million times no.


The hardcore title, for the most part, was a very clever way to have wrestlers who weren't as technically gifted as the rest of the roster deliver exciting matches. This would only dumb down the quality of the matches in NXT, which has basically become the home of actual wrestling.

In other words, of course I will mix my Evan Williams with generic cola... But I'm never going to put anything in my 16 year scotch.

Hardcore belt is best left retired by Edge, NXT doesn't run long enough to showcase a 4th title as it only runs for an hour and unless the show is extended it wouldn't have the necessary time scale to dedicate to an additional belt division feud.
If a new title was added it would warrant a second show which could benefit the titles more as the show broadcast currently could focus on NXT women & NXT championship with added feuds for the upper-midcard of both men/women while the second show could give more attention to the Tag division while introducing Cruiserweights.

I'm all for WWE bringing back the hardcore title, I just don't see it working in NXT

Not many guys I can see pursing the title on the roster.

Most of the roster is composed of pure wrestlers.


a secondary title if done correctly could do wonders for the brand. Something for guys like Tyler breeze bull Dempsey and Corbin. Something too low for guys like Steen, Balor and Zayn but high enough for the lower guys seen as a stepping stone

Someone might have already mentioned this, but on the Solomonster Sounds Off Podcast, he had a great idea to have a mid card title named the "Dream Title" named after Dusty Rhodes. This would give someone like Tyler Breeze something to do
