HARDCORE TITLE HISTORY

11/10/02 - The AoV title scene kicked back under way as 4 players met to part the belt from Medallion's tight grasp.

In Round 1, Cipher Dragon's Shane took out Shaggy 2 Dope's Brock with a Chair to the Back in Turn 16. And Shine's RVD eventually wore down K2J's Brock after Busting him Wide Open.

In the finals, Cipher Dragon dispatched Shine on Turn 16 with a Flying Chair Shot to earn the title opportunity.

In the title match, Medallion made a go of it with his unreggie Rock deck. But in the end, he couldn't surmount Cipher's relentless assault and succumbed on Turn 31with a Ring Bell Shot.

Congrats to Cipher Dragon, AoV's new Hardcore Champion!

9/19/02 - The taste for blood was in the air as 7 young combatants were ready to trounce The Twisted Turtle for his newly won Hardcore title.

Michaelangelo took it to the outside for the fisherman's suplex against ,,!,,The Next Big Thing,,!,,. Stampone and his Bubba continued to dominate as Fuzzy Muff felt THE BOMB!! Hardkore Holly and new member, rvd&tajiri4life, squared off with Hardkore not being able to live up to his name as he was chokeslammed and left laying for the loss. Medallion received a bye.

Medallion and rvd&tajiri4life bumped heads with Medallion drilling rvd into the mat and hooking his lifeless leg for the 1-2-3. Stampone plowed over his opponent, Michaelangelo, at the 27 turn mark to advance into the finals.

Due to The Twisted Turtle's absence, this match was for...THE ALLIANCE OF VIOLENCE HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WOOOOORRRLLLLLLDDDDD!!!! Medallion took his Brock into the squared circle against Stampone's Bubba for the title. Would the goateed hardcore icon from Dudleyville shine in the HC division as he did on television or would the real Next Big Thing once again go undeafeted?? It was a vicious battle and after sending Stampone spinning with the F5, Medallion still couldn't get it done!!! Stampone continued on but it proved to be too little, too late as Medallion got the win and was crowned the new AoV HC champion!!

9/5/02 - At the second Hardcore tournament of the young faction, M-Dogg would have his hands full as 6 fierce warriors were all vying for his title. But only one man would walk away champion.

In the first round, it was Michaelangelo giving The Gamer the dreaded Vertical Tazplex for the win. Skittlez proved that Rikishi isn't the only fat man that can dance, as he waltzed into the semis with his Bubba over ICRWA.

In the semifinals, nothing would stop Skittlez of his two title glory as he steamrolled his way past a bloody Michaelangelo into the finals for the title shot.

The final match saw it's fair share of blood spill as Skittlez busted open M-Dogg who bled like a stuck pig for 10+ turns After a spinebuster at the 27 turn mark followed by a hook the leg, M-Dogg was left laying in a pool of his own blood as his 1E Angle fell to the true king of hardcore, Bubba and Skittlez!!!!

8/29/02 - In the first ever AoV Hardcore tourney, every man was thirsty for blood and chairs but only one man would walk out a bloody mess with the AoV Hardcore Title around his waist.

In the first round, M-Dogg's 1E Angle fought a vicious chair bashing, relentless Medallion and his Rob Van Dam. But, when it was all said and done, M-Dogg came out the winner at turn 41 with help from The Rattlesnake! and his trusty Stone Cold Stunner.

ICRWA brought his Rikishi to battle Skittlez's 2E Hogan but it was ICRWA coming out with the win at turn 32.

ICRWA again fought in round 2, against Michaelangelo's 1E Tazz while M-Dogg licked his wounds and got the bye to the finals. It was a vicious contest, but the Phat Man was no match for the human suplex machine, with Michaelangelo getting the 1-2-3 at turn 39.

Michaelangelo was the last man to stand in M-Dogg's way of two-title glory. It was a vicious match, but like Highlander, there can be only one and M-Dogg came out the victor after 5 chair shots and one low blow kick. Let's hope his lucky streak doesn't continue and get ready for a little TLC at next week's tournament!!!
