    Usually Mr. Perfect leads IC title lists but I'm not surprised they have him under the Warrior considering Warrior won the WWE title while IC champion.

    I agree Jericho should be #1 or #2. I'd have put Chyna at #25 tho just for being the first and only woman to hold the title, even though she was ? in ring.

    I do think Shelton was a better IC champion than even WWE is giving him credit for.

    He is certainly a better IC champion than Austin was, considering Austin never had a proper run with the title.

    I can say in all honesty they named some legitimately good IC champions. There aren't any guys who were champion for one day or anything dumb like that.

    To this day I still say Cody Rhodes was the last great IC champion.

    Can't put D'LO on the list, his reign was only a month long if that and I can't recall anything memorable about it

    The I.C Belt list will always look more solid than the WWE belt just of the fact the matches for it have always been about the Wrestling where the the main belt was always about Popularity and gimmick

    They got #1 right, but how is Shawn at #13 and Razor at #6?


    Makes no sense.



    And The Rock should be higher. Granted, he only had 2 reigns, but his second reign as IC champ is one of the greatest of all time. That's when he became "The Rock". Him and Hunter had some classics. If Savage can be at #1 with one reign and Warrior/Perfect can be top 4 with two reigns, Rock should atleast be top 10.

    Razor was that dude as the IC champ and he was the first to win it 3 or more times.

    WWE doesnt like to make Pre Rumble96/Iron man match HBK look all that notice how the only real highlight from HBK midcard days they like showing is him losing to Razor at Mania 10 for the IC strap.

    they liki to show HBK as The SHOWSTOPPER/MR WRESTLEMANIA WWE champion main event material

    Hate lists just name greats and their epic runs. The title and wrestler is only as good as his rival and storylines

    I got nothing against Razor being that high. I just think him and Shawn should atleast be even. Shawn had the same amount of run as IC Champ.

    Well he was the first to hold both European and Intercontinental Titles but didnt last long.

    He was certainly better than Randy Orton and Orton was a great IC champion.

    1998. Yeah it was a pretty good match. I didn't like all the run ins but that was common during that time.

    I liked their 2 of 3 match for the IC title more than anything they did before or after.

    They were right about Macho Man. Can't believe they included Benoit. I thought he was "dead" to them.
