10 Incredible WWE Hardcore Title Matches You Need To See

9. Raven Vs. Kane Vs. The Big Show - WrestleMania X-7

It might be hard to believe, given their recent overexposure and lacklustre performances, but Kane and Big Show were actually quite entertaining to watch at one time. WWE didn't know what to do with them in early 2001 (Big Show had just returned from fat camp - sorry - OVW) so they dumped them in the hardcore division. The results were surprisingly good. Big Show had a fun brawl with Raven at No Way Out, pinned Essa Rios by pressing him against a wall during a memorable Raw match and Show also had a good outing with Test and Rhyno at Judgement Day. But the highlight of the Kane/Show hardcore run was undoubtedly their WrestleMania X-7 match with Raven. The match was a wild brawl where most of the action took place backstage. Kane hurled Raven through a window before The Big Red Machine and Show tumbled through a wall (The Shockmaster would have been proud). Then they chased each other on golf carts. This truly bonkers match came to a close when Kane sent Raven and Big Show crashing off the side of the stage. As a side note, Raven almost ran over a cable when riding his golf cart that, had he hit it, would have meant that the PPV feed would have been lost and fans wouldn't have seen the rest of the show.
