#4 Crash Holly was a 22-time WWE Hardcore Champion

Crash Holly competed in WWE's hardcore division under the 24/7 rule. Having 22-reigns as the Hardcore Champion meant that Crash had to do a lot of hiding and running to make sure he kept hold of the gold.

He lost and won back the championship in locations such as his hotel room, a circus, and even an airport. He once lost the title to Gerald Brisco while he was asleep backstage.

The kayfabe cousin of Harcore Holly always found a way to get the Hardcore Championship back. His runs could be considered similar to R-Truth's 24/7 Championship runs today. Crash Holly delivered some of the most outlandish and memorable moments during the Attitude Era.

He sadly passed away in November 2003, but his status as a hardcore icon during the Attitude Era will be etched in history. If you ask a wrestling fan about the WWE Hardcore Championship, Crash Holly's name will surely come up.
