Hardcore Championship

From Smackdown! - Wiki on Neoseeker

The Hardcore Championship is a now defunct title which was defended in hardcore conditions (no rules applied). It was first awarded to Mankind back in 1998, and years later made exclusive to the RAW brand. Rob Van Dam is considered the final hardcore champion as he defeated Tommy Dreamer in 2002 to unify his Intercontinental Championship.

The championship appears as a regular belt on the first four SmackDown! titles, but made its return in SmackDown! vs. Raw 2006 as an unlockable.
