Hardcore wrestling. The forgotten art of the sport. Long gone are the days when a more brutal form of competition reigned supreme. After all, it wouldn't settle in 2015 with WWE's plethora of sponsors and PG dominated audience. Hardcore played a huge role in wrestling's biggest boom and started with ECW.

Vince liked what he saw so the blood and thunder of ECW was brought into the mainstream of entertainment. it played a huge part of giving the late 90s era its Attitude. Street fights were often the bout of choice for WWE, and other promotions for that matter, with a varying success rate. Too many times those 'death matches' of sorts didn't live up to the billing and left us questioning why they weren't classed as normal one-on-one matches from the get-go. Conversely, there was those that meant the failures of the genre were virtual non starters. Those matches that scaled the highest of heights that others simply couldn't climb to.
