Rob Van Dam defends the WWF Hardcore Title.

Paul Heyman tells us that people said Rob Van Dam was "too extreme" for the WWF, which maybe you could say that in 1997 but by this point feels a bit ridiculous. The opening is kinda bizarre with RVD just jumping around and Tajiri doing a forward roll around each other. There is one interesting moment where Tajiri does his baseball slide kick into the corner with chairs in the way and he goes for a cover, and the referee does the count while standing on the outside. I don't remember any WWF referee doing that before, reminded me of Tommy Young. The match is pretty short but fun.

**1/2
