The WCW Hardcore Championship

The Greatest Podcast in the History of Our Sport

What Puerto Rico unleashed upon the world of wrestling was something that ECW picked up, WWF ran with and WCW… had. Yes, it’s the wonderful world of divisional Hardcore Wrestling, that area of kayfabe that wants you to assume there’s some official body in charge of regulating competitive Hit Each Other With Yard Implements Until One Can’t Move for Three Seconds matches. Yes, WCW had such a thing towards the end of its life. The results were, well, pretty much what you’d expect from something WCW tried at the end of its life. But that doesn’t mean we can’t squeeze an entertaining hour out of talking about that one little corner of Where the Big Boys Play, where the hottest dance was more often than not The Big Wiggle. Tonight, on what will surely go down as the Greatest Podcast in the History of Our Sport, the ups and down of that division where Terry Funk nearly got kicked in the skull by a horse.
