EPISODE 126: Daniel Puder & the Hardcore Title


Take a look into Tough Enough as Bruce discusses the judges, the contestants, and how the decision to bring it to SmackDown upset the veterans. Of course Bruce has an opinion on how the “incident” with Angle took place as well. Why did Puder win? Once he did, how did the veterans treat him? What really happened at the Royal Rumble? Why didn’t they ever do anything with him and Angle? What is their relationship like now? We discuss OVW, the letter he got by “accident” and then of course we break down why it didn’t last, the true details of the $1M contract, and take your questions.



Then we continue our doubleheader with a complete breakdown of the Hardcore Title. Who had the idea? Why was it done? Who benefited the most? We exam some of the more memorable moments with the title, the guys who helped make it matter, and the times where it all just became hard to follow. From Mick Foley to Crash Holly to Rob Van Dam, we cover all things Hardcore Title in a very unique Something to Wrestle!

  1. Personally my favorite championship..idk what it is exactly..maybe the hardcore look of it..I remember getting an adult size replica when I was younger..I was so incredibly disappointed in the quality of the official replica belt..a few years ago they released a foam & plastic replica..THAT ONE looked SO much more like the real belt..but the leather version was awful. I know most aren't a fan of it..but I loved the unpredictability of it..the look..plus I do enjoy hardcore matches here & there..not every match on the card being hard core but in general I believe it adds interest. The key is to have a good match & incorporate the weapons..as apposed to just using weapons & calling it a good match! Super hyped for this show!

  2. Finally back at work. Got myself a load for the weekend. Picks up in tifton, ga going to bonham, tx. Gonna listen to this while i drive my semi tracror thru bama and Mississippi and maybe in luzianna.

  3. Can't blame keven Dunn for not wanting to be on camera imagine everytime you appeard you got Jim cornette right there YOU BUCKY BEEVER MOTHER FUCKER

  4. the hardcore championship title is the worst part of the attitude era, it's a stain on professional wrestling.

  5. The hhh stephanie episode was the first good episode in a while. Why are you guys only doing boring material such as Carlito and Rikishi. When will there be a episode on ministry undertaker and hhh years. It would be funny to see Conrad talk about hhh career from the 2002-2004 period.
