Every WWE Intercontinental Champion Ranked From WORST To BEST

[@dylanogg347]

Fun Fact: The Mountie held the Intercontinental Championship while the WWF Championship was vacant, so he was technically the top guy in WWF for two days.

Just imagine Piper as WWF Champion heading into WrestleMania II.

@@rex8958 Yes I'm 30, it's weird seeing the faces change, but it's not just that, the real reason that it's not the same is because they don't sell it like they used to, the acting just isn't as good, like back in the day it really felt like stone cold and HHH really hated each other, even though I still knew it was fake it's still felt real where as now it's just not as fiery and aggressive as wresting used to be

[@nicknardini5469]

And the title belts look cheaper and uglier which makes them seem less valuable. And it kind of takes some meaning away from being a champion, doesn't seem as big of a deal when the belt isn't as nice.

If they combined the stories and promos from back in the day with the current in ring stuff… man… I’d be HOOKED

[@AnvilPro100]

I think Miz' greatest strength as a promo is his ability to give meaning to things. Miz cuts promos in ways that make the IC and US Titles feel as important as the World Title just by him talking about them like they do. You could show his promos about how great he is for being the IC Champion to someone that doesn't know wrestling and they'd probably assume he was the top star with how much he values it

I just got so sick of watching my favorite wrestlers being booked and treated like dirt most of the time. Thank God they at least had the sense to put the title on AJ a few times before he dwindled down into the midcard as well, but yeah.. it was, and still is, very frustrating.

I grew up during Attitude, and yet when I picture the IC strap, I see Ziggler in my head. That tells me he’s the quintessential IC Champ.

@@Immersed94 agreed 💯. The last 6-7 years in particular have felt exhausting rather than exhilarating - the way wrestling is supposed to make you feel. The Bloodline storyline is really layered and detailed, one of the best all around stories in 25 years. The Uso's, Sami, Roman FINALLY embracing heel heat, Paul Heyman.... All elevated and organically over. They're really trying to elevate the US Title - something Miz did phenomenal work with, and IC still feels like an afterthought. Back in the attitude era, everyone got over because everyone was made to matter. Stop/start booking has watered down countless talents. It feels like we're on an upswing here, and this is the first Mania I've truly looked forward to in years. We'll see.

He’s definitely now in the top 10, for me at least. Not just for beating Honky Tonk Man’s record, but the amazing matches he’s had.

[@deelove7518]

Gunther number one now

[@SheriffOutlaw]

Time for an list update

[@aaronneville1278]

Now move everyone down 1 because Gunther has since became the GOAT IC champion

[@teolyles325]

Those randal keith bits 😂😭😂😭. Even while pissed off I got a big laugh from that on repeat.

[@krudeddie]

Out of all these wrestlers Gold Dust was the one i loved to see. On the mic or in the ring he was a blast to watch.

[@madamefeast4824]

I grew up watching late 80s and early 90s so when I think of Intercontinental championship I think Rick Rude, Curt Hennig, Warrior, Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramone

[@chrishansen4691]

Man, how can you watch wrestling in the 80s and not immediately associate the IC Champion with the Honky Tonk Man?

[@Empirony]

Watching in 2023, PUT MY BOY GUNTHER AT THE MF TOP

[@philipnewman8366]

I love these videos. When he mentions Randy Orton he goes nuts. It’s like saying the secret word in Pee Wee’s playhouse.

[@therealthomas2826]

This was a great video, I want the new one named: "every WWE United States champion ranked from worst to best".

[@FrankieboyJr]

YOWIE WOWIE IM GOING TO RAW LATER AND I’LL DEFINITELY LISTEN TO THIS ON THE WAY TO PASS THE TIME!!!!

[@rushman21901]

Wait wait wait. How did Tito Santana “never hold championship gold again”. He was a tag team champ with Rick Martel.

[@PerfectHeel]

Thank You!

Me watching in 2023 and as the time goes your new best intercontinental champion is Gunther 😎

[@gras1hoppa420]

Enjoy your channel!! Great List!! U got it almost Perfect.. NUmber one is Macho for sure.. He was the Greatest Wrestler alive when he held that IC Title... He was must see, and wasnt afraid to put himself above Hogan and challenge him any chance he got.. I loved wrestling at the time and was a Huge Piper Fan and Flair fan having the rare privilege of watching all the Garden shows while living in NY and spending summer months in Florida getting to see the Super Station. but no one was close to Macho in the ring or on the Mic.. He was like a black cat in the ring seemingly always on overdrive.. Captured my attention as a kid and i havent since seen anyone on that level during those IC Years.. thanks agn!!

Growing up wanting to be a wrestler it was always my dream to be IC champion.....it always just felt like the best wrestlers held it

[@chrisrigby215]

Some great debate about this list - as much as this belt is for the true wrestlers it seems to me this list is much more for deeper rather than more casual fans - no aspersions cast on either as age has made me more of the latter. I always saw the IC as a way for guys to propel themselves to good rivalries and a way to showcase their work at PPVs. In that way, they are working towards getting into the mix for the big belt where there is nowhere to hide in terms of your ability to put on good matches and to draw business. I loved Perfect and Razor as IC champs - they had some great matches and rivalries, maybe especially when losing - but neither used the higher profile to catapult themselves to the top of the business (though injuries and moves to WCW perhaps contribute). By contrast, the likes of Shawn Michaels, Steve Austin and Edge all successfully raised their profiles whilst IC champ and showed they could do the business at the top of the organisation. I think the best of these types of IC champion is Bret Hart. The Hitman transformed himself from the tag scene into singles royalty with rivalries and great matches contesting the IC belt. The first ladder match against Michaels, putting over the Bulldog at Wembley, beating Hennig at Summerslam and Piper at Wrestlemania - all very different but brilliantly planned and executed matches that elevated both him and the belt, turning it into the crucial stepping stone for credibility that it was for Michaels, Stone Cold, HHH, The Rock and more.

The white strap was so damn badass and iconic I really don’t get why the WWE doesn’t realize how iconic their old belts are and replace them with really bad ugly belts. The big gold and pretty much any wwe championship belt before the current one we’re so amazing especially the ones with the eagles on em

[@ghostface2646]

My Mount Rushmore of Intercontinental Champion 1 - Bret Hart 2 - Chris Jericho 3 - Mr . Perfect 4 - Macho Man Randy Savage 5 - The Miz 6 - Ken Shamrock 7 - Triple H 8 - The Rock 9 - Jeff Hardy 10 - Cody Rhodes

[@deaconsyxx322]

ive just sat through that start to finish...i came for the list but stayed for the Randall Keith song...Totally agree with your number 1
