apparently in 2002, when Bradshaw won the HC title he re-introduced it as the Texas Hardcore title with a different blet which was like the smokin skull but with a texas flag on it.
anyone got pics of this?

It's visible in this video:
And because I know discussion will arise of it, this video contains Tommy Dreamer's license plate belt:

I was at the RVD/Dreamer match, it's sad that it was the last hardcore title match.

Dreamer's belt looks like a Raw Tag Title with the license plate attached to it somehow. Couldn't make out if Bradshaw's belt was another belt or if it was one specially made for him. |

RVD was the last champion, considering he won it in that match. Also you could count the presentation of the belt to Foley a few years later, and Foley dubbing himself and Edge co-Hardcore Champions. |

I thought that too but they didn't mention anything about the hardcore title on the line. They just said it's the last time we'll see it. I don't count Foley since the Title is still inactive. |

RVD unified the title with the IC title, so it became inactive, so Vince decided to retire it to Mick Foley, the first hardcore champion

Did anyone else a custom hardcore title? I seem to remember Johnny The Bull with a different looking belt?

Why did they get rid of the Hardcore title, anyway? I can understand getting rid of the European Title, but there always seemed to be some storyline going on for the hardcore title.

The title became a joke especially in the 24/7 rule the the tltle changes hand every second. Remem Wrestlemania 16 when the title changed hands like 20 times in 15 minutes. |

WWE recognizes RVD as the final champion. |
