Comments: as I have already said this match is good as you would come to expect in these kinds of matches there is carnage and blood, unlike the current 24/7 Championship the WWF Hardcore Championship had credibility and respect, basically the 24/7 Championship is just the censored and  tame version of the WWF Hardcore Championship; it's like watching Challenge of the GoBots 1984-1985  when you should be watching The Transformers 1984-1987 [before I receive a backlash about my comparison the Go-Bots were good, but The Transformers were/are supremely galaxies upon galaxies better; yes I’m aware of the health and safety aspect as well, but still the WWF Hardcore Championship is still much better.

Now at the very final stages of this match the Commentary Team were being vocal about Crash Holly; Lawler saying "He kicked-out!" Which there is very little evidence to suggest this; I mean you could say he may have wanted to do this by his ever so slight leg movements, but we are talking about a pinch of salt of movement hear and Ross saying "He got the shoulder up!"And likewise there is a pinch of salt of movement; but this is where things go either very well or not at all according to plan, where we have Crush being exhausted to the point where he either doesn't kick-out convincingly or get his shoulder up likewise convincingly consequently the Referee [Tim White] has to quickly work with as if Crush kicks out [or there is enough here to suggest that White may have slowed or stopped his three count which it is common knowledge by today standard that Mr. McMahon hates this. Because he sees it as the Referees are there to call it; it is down to the characters/performers to kick-out,] but I digress with White's body language to indicate and the word out, but with a split-second look on his face that says "We may be in trouble here" with the Referees reversing their decision and still going with this result, which I am speculating here they go on-the-fly backstage before the next match just to show an action replay and building it into a narrative of there wasn't a three count.

Basic Result: Hardcore Holly is your New WWF Hardcore Champion?
