WWE was a very different place in the early 2000s, where the women were not taken seriously and the men were able to have much more brutal matches. This led to the Hardcore Championship being unveiled, a title that would be on the line 24/7.
While there were many stars who were able to win the Hardcore Championship several times, including Crash Holly and Raven, there were also many women who tried their luck as titleholders as well.

Cynthia Lynch was the first woman to lift the Championship in 2000, just two years after it was first unveiled but she was only able to hold the title for 15 seconds. Molly Holly was the second woman to lift the title in 2002 while backstage at WrestleMania 18. Holly's reign was short-lived since she was quickly pinned by Christian.
The only other two women in WWE history who have held the Hardcore Championship are WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus and Terri Runnels.
