Undertaker brought a much-needed shot of legitimacy to the Hardcore Championship, and can probably be regarded as its most dominant champion ever. Using the belt as an outlet for his sadistic streak following the Invasion, 'Taker would brutalise opponents in one-sided (but incredibly entertaining) squash matches, before continuing the assault afterwards. His reign of terror was brought to an end by the unlikely figure of Tough Enough winner Maven, a source of Undertaker's hatred after shockingly eliminating him from the 2002 Royal Rumble. The rookie initially seemed just another victim for the Phenom to devour, only for The Rock to interfere on Maven's behalf and cause a crowd-electrifying title change. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pIoWcaYJwM
