Update: You know what happened a month after the last title change I listed? They unified the hardcore belt with the IC belt when Rob Van Dam defeated then Hardcore Champ, Tommy Dreamer. What was the kicker was a week before this happened, they outlawed the 24/7 rule for the hardcore belt. I was hoping for some new life for the belt again, but one week later I was just LMAO at what they did. Oh well. For the last two months of history, just go to the link above. Later.
