TheWWE Hardcore Championship was aprofessional wrestling championship contested for in the United States–basedWorld Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)promotion, formerly known as the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) before May 2002. The title was only contestable inmatches underhardcore regulations, and could be won only by individual wrestlers. As a professional wrestling championship, it was introduced by the WWF on its television programRaw Is War on November 2, 1998, in which WWF chairmanMr. McMahon awardedMankind the title. In 2000, the WWF instated the "24/7 rule", a regulation stating that the title could be defended anywhere at any time as long as areferee was present, which led to numerous title changes in shorter time periods; the rule was discontinued in 2002.^[1] On the August 26, 2002 episode ofRaw,Intercontinental Champion Rob Van Dam defeated Hardcore ChampionTommy Dreamer tounify both titles;^[2] the Hardcore Championship was retired shortly thereafter. The title was reactivated on two occasions afterwards, although they are not considered official reigns by WWE according to their official title history. On the June 23, 2003 episode ofRaw, Mick Foley (who was the first champion as "Mankind") was awarded the Hardcore Championship belt by theRawbrand authority figure Stone Cold Steve Austin for his contributions in hardcore wrestling.^[3]Edge and Foley then introduced themselves as co-holders of the championship in 2006, due to a storyline with alumni of the hardcore wrestling-basedExtreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) promotion.^[4]

Over the course of the title's 3 year, 9 month, and 25 day history, there were 230 title reigns shared among 52 wrestlers.Raven has the most reigns as champion, with 39.^[5]Big Boss Man's fourth reign was the longest in the title's history, at 97 days.Steve Blackman ranks first in combined reigns by length, at 172 days in six reigns. Blackman also held the record for the longest title reign under the "24/7 Rule" at 89 days, which was the 2nd longest. Due to the "24/7 rule" numerous wrestlers held the title less than one day, and because the exact times at which each wrestler held the title is unknown, it is impossible to determine who had the shortest reign. Each reign was won at WWF/E-promoted events:pay-per-view events,house shows, and on televised events.
