标题：硬核赛
硬核赛的背景
硬核，Hardcore，有极限之意。最早的Hardcore是一种音乐风格，。硬核在音乐上的基本定义是运用极猛的强烈语言以及自我态度，说出最真实的故事，虽然有人认为是叛经离道，但其实并不鼓励荒诞的行为，而是将一种狂野人生的态度，表现在音乐、歌词之上。硬核音乐是朋克风格与金属音乐的结合，在朋克音乐原有的基础上,在演奏时加入了金属的合弦，而且嗓子用的是核类的比较干的嗓子，吉他以失真为主,听起来要有力量的多，本质是朋克但是含有了金属的演奏技巧，以至于硬核在听起来或看起来很象朋克但是更有一种极端金属的感觉。从诞生之后，硬核音乐就一直在争议中发展，而且在人们的心中深深地印下了“另类”、“惨烈”、“刺激”的烙印。在70年代美国PUNK的音乐文化开始普及，但随着PUNK的扩散是标新立异与暴力行为，药物的滥用，酒精和滥交……其中一部分人开始否定这样的形式，他们开始鼓吹一种具有建设性及健康的Straight Edge信念。不抽烟、不喝酒、不吸毒。渐渐的，硬核变成了一种执著的信念文化，其希望以正确、不跟随主流、不跟随物质、脚踏实地去过自己认为对的生活。这种次文化是对忽略道德的主流资本主义及物质主义社会，通过音乐与歌词，发出一种对抗态度的形式。
硬核赛的发展
当电视摔角比赛出现在人们的视野中，当WWF的比赛征服了观众的心，越来越多的电视台开始尝试着和摔角联盟合作转播摔角比赛。为了抢夺市场份额，WWF开始挑战电视节目的播出底线，一系列挑逗意味十足的女子比赛的出现令WWF节目的收视率节节攀升，而摔角手在比赛中满脸是血的画面更是深深刺激了观众的视觉神经，人们疯狂的爱上了这种比传统摔跤更娱乐，比一般摔角更刺激的摔角风格，人们将这种风格概括为“刺激”、“惨烈”和“另类”的摔角风格，而这种定义恰恰与早期的硬核音乐留给人们的印象重叠，于是“硬核摔角”就成了人们对这种风格的总称。
在发现了电视转播摔角节目巨大的商机之后，越来越多的电视台开始寻找和制作自己的摔角节目。正是在这个时候，电视台的转播需要和摔角联盟的生存需要不谋而合，很多的摔角联盟同意让自己的摔角手在电视节目中表演非常危险的硬核摔角比赛以博取更好的收视率，而电视台也会因为收视率的攀升而向摔角联盟支付更多的转播费。当时在全美有三个非常著名的电视摔角联盟，一个是大牌选手云集的WCW，一个是以极限摔角为口号的ECW，还有一个是传统摔角节目WWF。相比之下，最早实现摔角比赛电视转播的WWF遇到了前所未有的挑战。
在三足鼎立的发展时期，WCW、ECW和WWF都设立了自己的“硬核冠军”头衔。这三条金腰带的出现就像总攻的号角，摔角手们趋之若鹜的争夺是的硬核摔角呈现出令人难以置信的疯狂的发展。简单地说，摔角中的硬核比赛，就是“没有规则”的暴力比赛，可以使用各种器具作为武器，可以使用戳眼睛和下体攻击等无赖招数。这种比赛中，选手们要流很多血。所以比赛的危险性不言而喻。
由于这类比赛太过血腥，在兼并了WCW和ECW之后，更名为WWE[1]的新摔角娱乐联盟并没有让硬核摔角在电视中继续存在，在2002年之后，WWE甚至取消了硬核冠军这一头衔，而这种摔角方式从此也逐渐在电视上销声匿迹。
硬核赛的新生
在1999年, John Zandig与他四名学生,Ric Blade,Lobo,Nick Gage和Justice Pain成立一间以硬核摔角为卖点, 自称为"ultraviolent"的摔角团体.经过一段时间后, CZW 已经发展出多类型的比赛. CZW曾与宾夕法尼亚州运动委员会（PSAC）发生过几次争执.曾经有一间名叫"Fake You! TV"的电视台播放过CZW的赛事, "Smart Mark Video"会拍摄CZW现场的赛事, 而"Xtreme Entertainment Group" 就会在零售商铺发行CZW的DVD.现在，CZW已经是全美境内最大的专门进行硬核摔角比赛的摔角联盟了。
