Now, if you haven’t seen already, the 32nd seed, which is located in the FOLEY BRACKET, is listed as “POLL WINNER”. Since there were FAR too many Hardcore champions to squeeze into the brackets, we decided to have some fun to get the 32nd entrant into the contest.
At WrestleMania 2000, there was a 13 man Hardcore Championship Battle Royal to determine who would be the Hardcore champion. Ultimately, Hardcore Holly overcame the odds to win that unique battle. Now, with the Greatest Hardcore Champion Ever tourney on the horizon, we’ve decided to do something off-kilter.
On April 1, 2014, on TheJonHarder.com, we are going to host the 32nd Spot Hardcore Battle Poll! 20 people will be entered into this poll, and the winner will receive the 32nd spot in the FOLEY BRACKET and face off with the first ever WWF Hardcore champion, MANKIND!
