The EAW Hardcore Championship is a professional e-wrestling championship in Elite Answers Wrestling (EAW). It is currently inactive, declared defunct by StarrStan who brought back the Pure Championship as its replacement.

History

Origin

The Hardcore Championship first debuted in Elite Answers Wrestling while it was still a brand on AWF. When EAW became an independent company, the Hardcore Championship skyrocketed in prestige, showcasing some of the greatest matches of its era. The championship was contested under 24/7 Rules, meaning a match for the championship could take place anywhere, with the standing stipulation being a referee must be present at the time. However, due to the various amount of matches that would ensue because of this rule, the championship would lose prestige and it would be retired.

Resurrection

After the retirement of the EAW Pure Championship, Voltage needed a new mid-card championship to take its place. Carlos Rosso would announce that the new championship to be created would be the Hardcore Championship. In a seven-way Hardcore Match to find a new champion, Nathan Fiora would be crowned the new champion by defeating Marco Fedor, J.D. Damon, Phoenix Winterborn, Maero, and Scott Diamond. This incarnation of the championship, however, would not hold the 24/7 Rules and would be contested like a normal championship.

Reigns

The inaugural champion was Killswitch after he won a battle royal on the EAW as an AWF brand. There have been 27 different official champions, with Captain Charisma having the most reigns with 5 reigns. The final champion was Jack Ripley who won it at Territorial Invasion 2018 by cashing in his 24/7 Contract against Johnny Ventura & Ryan Wilson. The championship was then retired on the following Dynasty as Jack Ripley was rewarded the returning Pure Championship.
