The WWE 24/7 Championship was introduced a few years ago and its rules were similar to those of the Hardcore Championship from the Attitude Era. However, Road Dogg recently revealed that Triple H did not see much value in the 24/7 Title.
During a recent episode of “Oh…You Didn’t Know,” Road Dogg was asked about the possibility of the Hardcore Title thriving in contemporary wrestling. The former WWE Superstar mentioned that he thinks Triple H’s mindset does not match the 24/7 style of the Hardcore Title.
I don’t know if they could do a Hardcore Championship thing, but I think they still do a little wild, wild west stuff. I mean, you still still see some chairs come into play. You still see them going through a table and stuff, so I think there’s enough TLC and street fight and stuff like that where you get those elements in your product. I don’t think Hunter’s philosophy is that 24/7 kind of Hardcore title. It’s a secondary and kind of made up and I just don’t think he sees value in it. I don’t know that I do either because it was a little more blood and guts back then. What we were fighting for real, half of us were (he laughs). It was violent, but it was fun too. So I don’t know. I don’t know if there’s a place for it anymore.
The WWE 24/7 Championship has provided some memorable moments throughout its existence. R-Truth holds the record for the most number of title wins, with 54. The inaugural 24/7 Champion was Titus O’Neil, but he only held the belt for a short time before losing it to Robert Roode. Eventually, the title was retired after Nikki Cross defeated Dana Brooke and then destroyed the belt.
