The Internet was a fledgling thing when WWE’s original Hardcore Championship was on the line.
YouTube was still over two years away from launching the last time the title was defended, and most people weren’t yet on Facebook or any other contemporary social media platform at that point in time.
The Hardcore division was still fun in those times, but the most outlandish exploits associated with it were mostly handled via pre-tapes backstage.
New technology could be a boon for the Hardcore title, as individual wrestlers could now stream title challenges and even title changes live on Twitter from all over the place.
Particularly as WWE leans into social media with feuds like Ronda Rousey vs. Becky Lynch arguably getting more heated on Twitter than in the ring, and WWE could likely draw even more of its desired more social media engagement via the Hardcore Championship.
Moreover, various title attempts could be ready material for a WWE Network compilation.
