10 Best WWE Hardcore Champions

7. Shane McMahon

Like Foley, Shane enjoyed only one Hardcore Championship reign - as well as the dubious honour of being the only non-wrestler on this list. He fully deserves his place, however, for the utterly insane heights he was willing to scale (often literally) to create an exciting spectacle. The most memorable moment of his reign (and arguably his entire career) came at Summerslam 2000 when, defending against Steve Blackman, he scaled the TitanTron in order to escape his far more capable foe. The challenger climbed right up with him and smacked him with a kendo stick, sending the owner's son collapsing backwards to a crash-landing from a ridiculous height. Clearly there would have been safety mats in position for this stunt, but that shouldn't take away from its risky and visually incredible nature. It seems insane, looking back from today's WWE programming, that such an awe-inspiring spot would be used for nothing more than a lowercard feud. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nMp4Z51-nE
