5 of the best WWE Intercontinental champions, and 5 of the worst.
The WWE Intercontinental championship was envisioned as more than a mere stepping stone to the World championship. It was viewed as a legitimate, prestigious title in its own right, and has been held by some of the greatest wrestling legends.
However, there have been times that the celebrated mid card title has been held by a champion who failed to make a significant splash, or were downright terrible in the role for a variety of reasons.

Here are five of the best Intercontinental champions of all time, and five of the worst.
#1 One of the best: Honky Tonk Man
Long side burns? Check. Hair slicked back? Check. Coming to your town in a pink Cadillac? Check. Greatest Intercontinental champion of all time? Totally checked.
Honky Tonk Man was a fixture of the WWE during its Rock and Wrestling era. In fact, given his portrayal of an Elvis wannabe and certifiable musical chops, Honky Tonk Man was probably the perfect Rock n Wrestling talent.
His lengthy reign of 454 days is still a record for an unbroken run. Just don't listen to any of his interviews of podcasts unless you can tolerate salty and vulgar language!
