    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.
  • @1992SMOFF
    I think we can safely assume that Gunther is now number 1.
  • @tonykeffer1724
    Next should be "Every Big Show Turn Ranked From Worst to Best"

    New drinking game: take a sip after every time Adam says “Two Weeks” or “Next Big Thing” when describing a former IC champion
  • @nicknardini5469
    Growing up watching wrestling in the late 90s and early 2000s I remember the intercontintel title being held mostly by Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit.

    I was waiting for the “Randal Keith” song

    Love the new logo! Until a new Cultaholic belt is made, you guys should do like Impact and slap a new logo sticker over the front plate lol
  • Great vid. For me Mr Perfect will always be the best IC champ. He was one of the best heels in the business and a great performer. Curt Henning Rest in Perfection!!!
  • @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

    Do an "Every WWE United States Champion, ranked from worst to best" then do one for the WCW United States championship in a later video

    Thank you so much for this list. It's nice to see the IC title get some love. Favourite champions growing up were Shaun, Jericho, Chyna, Edge and Cody Rhodes. I also appreciate Roddy, Randy and the other greats that held the title before my time. Miz did a great job elevating the title to "must see" television (see what I did there? 😉) - the title has had some remarkable moments held by some of the greatest who never went on to win the world title making the IC Title that more special.

    Bloody. Hell. That’s one hell of a video. Bravo to all involved lads, you do too much for us lot. Brilliant rebrand as well, nice and fresh!
  • @coleturner6906
    “The other fella from The Rockers” made me laugh my ass off for some reason 😂😂
  • @frank-bmtz
    Without even watching, Miz has to be in the top 5. What that man did in the ring, on the mic, and especially for the Intercontinental Title in 2016-2017 was truly remarkable. He made that championship mean more than WWE or Universal Titles themselves. If the "man makes the title", then he certainly did just that!
  • @jackwei22
    Benoît was one of the most dominant IC champions and was a brilliant heel too especially in 2000.
