TNA Hardcore Title Rules?

Psymin1Posted on 09/02/05 at 17:07:38

I was just reading up on the TNA Title Histories and I seen the "Hard Ten" title history.  I have never heard of this before so I clicked it to see what it was.  Turns out, as most of you probably know, the Hard Ten was once the Hardcore Championship (or so it said).  I noticed that it died VERY quickly with only three champions (2 Hardcore Champs, and 1 Hard Ten Champion which was The Sandman).  Anyway, I clicked to read the results of the first Title winner, and it said:

"HARDCORE TITLE: The Dupps b Ed Ferrara..
New Hardcore Title with complicated rules. "

I was wondering if anyone knew what these complicated rules for thier hardcore title were?  I am just curious to see what they are, because I know WCW's Hardcore Title had to start out of the ring and end in the ring, so I am just wondering if the rules were anything like that.  Thanks for your help.

Sandman won the Hard Ten by putting New Jack through a table from a balcony.. not sure about the Dupps vs Ferrara though.. having to watch such a match is Hardcore enough for my tastes  :P

Basically points were handed out for foreign object use. One point was awarded for using a weapon and five went for putting someone through a table. First to ten wins, but you must win by two.

Oh wow, that's pretty neat.  Would be interesting to see, I think.  Thanks for helping me out, really appreciate it.

And, of course there was the Dupp Cup Hardcore Invitational.

I believe that was similar to the Hard 10 concept, but with some additional rules.  It was something like 5 points if you spank your opponent with Horsey Poo (a wooden hobby horse), but you lose 10 points if they like it.  And 2 points if you hit the ticket lady or something like that.  It was very silly.  The prize for winning was a tarnished brass spitoon, plus the winners would get to sleep with Fluff Dupp.  Of course, since the Dupp Cousins were basically using the hillbilly gimmick, this was something they greatly prized.

Wrestlecrap at its finest.
