All WWE superstars were required to abide by highly rigorous regulations that Vince McMahon had established while serving as the organization’s chairman.
On the other side, there haven’t been many intense wrestling-style matches throughout the PG Era or The New Era.
But it doesn’t mean that there haven’t been dangerous matches held here before.
WWE has featured a lot of past hardcore matches when wrestlers engaged in extremely risky maneuvers.
Jeff Hardy and Mick Foley
Jeff Hardy, a WWE legend, once miscalculated his age when applying to the company.
He had a highly historic journey from that time to become a hardcore wrestling icon.
Hardy has frequently been observed performing movements that are so risky that a misstep during a landing could have been fatal.
Mick Foley
Not just in the WWE but throughout the history of pro wrestling, Mick Foley is regarded as one of the best hardcore wrestlers.
With the aid of his barbed wire bat, he has bled numerous superstars.
The most noteworthy quality of Mick is his dedication to the sport of wrestling, as evidenced by the fact that he used to smile even after performing lethal maneuvers.
All of these instances demonstrate how Mick Foley put his fans’ enjoyment ahead of his safety.
Dean Ambrose and Shane McMahon
Ambrose, Dean
As we previously mentioned, the number of intense wrestling battles has significantly decreased in the WWE’s contemporary period.
Due to this, many dedicated wrestlers, including Dean Ambrose, were unable to compete in such contests.
Ambrose has demonstrated his dedication to wrestling in numerous WWE matches by persevering despite being in poor physical condition.
He has also participated in numerous similar battles since joining AEW when a fierce bloody struggle has been witnessed.
The pro wrestling community was stirred by his match with Kenny Omega at Revolution 2021, and most recently, he participated in some fantastic hardcore wrestling action against Chris Jericho.
McMahon, Shane
Although Shane McMahon has never been a full-time wrestler for WWE, his incredible in-ring prowess has occasionally won over fans.
He is known for using particularly lethal moves and for wrestling in a risky manner.
One of the most famous moments in WWE history was when he leaped over The Undertaker at WrestleMania 32 from the top of the cage.
