#3 Steve Blackman held the WWE Hardcore Championship for a combined 172 days

WWE's dangerous mixed-martial-arts superstar Steve Blackman slotted into the hardcore division perfectly. The Lethal Weapon was a popular character during the Attitude Era, and he knew how to overcome surprise attacks.

His mixed-martial-arts skills and experience were used throughout his time performing in hardcore matches. One of his most memorable moments came at SummerSlam 2000, where he pushed Shane McMahon off the top of the stage. Blackman then performed an elbow drop on McMahon to win the Hardcore Championship.

Overall, Blackman held the Hardcore Championship six times, having a combined reign of 172 days. This was the most of any other WWE Superstar.

His days in the ring are currently over after dishing out plenty of punishment over the years in WWE. He will be remembered as one of WWE's most dangerous superstars ever.
