In 2002, any and all action involving the Hardcore Championship was still usually guaranteed to feature an appearance from Crash Holly. And that 6 May 2002 episode of WWE Raw proved no different.

Here, Holly pinned Justin Credible to become an 18-time Hardcore Champ, and then swiftly lost that title to Trish Stratus.

Crash would be moved to the SmackDown brand later that year, finding himself as a Mattitude Follower tethered to Matt Hardy V1 and Shannon Moore. He would be released by WWE in June 2003.

Mike Lockwood sadly passed away in 2003 at the age of just 32, with his death officially ruled as suicide.
