Best: D'Lo Brown. Loved D'Lo Brown around this time and could have picked Jericho but all of Jericho's early memorable moments occurred with the IC belt.

Honorable Mention: Al Snow with the different country represented for each match routine.

Worst: Mideon

Couldn't remember him ever as champion until someone else mentioned he never actually won the title but just found it.

Same could go for Henry. He was 'awarded' the championship for helping Jarrett beat D'Lo for the IC title.

Spike won the European Championship from Regal on an episode of Raw.

I remember it, before the match, Spike stole Regal's brass knucks that Regal hid in one of the turnbuckle pads when the referee wasn't looking, and just before the bell rang, he hit Regal with the knucks and pinned him for a 3-count.

The match was only about 3 or 4 seconds long.

You might be thinking of Crash Holly though, who won the European Championship from Regal at Rebellion in 2000.

Savio 08-19-2011 07:07 PM

yeah dont remember crash winning....

Best: Xpac
Worst: Spike (dont remember it at all....the title was dead at that point)

He did the same when he unified the Hardcore and Intercontinental Championships and he's credited as being the last Hardcore Champion because of it.

So I don't see why the European Championship would be any different. :-\



(To me)

The IC Champ is the North American, South American and European titles all merged together...The United states title was merged into it but a new
one was created for smackdown.

Best:bulldog Davey-Boy Smith (Owen never did get it did he? it went to shawn michales to trips threw a finger poke of doom...the title seemed like it was going to have some credibility up till that point)
Worst: Denis Knight

They should have an IC Champion win the All Japan or New Japan title and claim to be the real world champ as the intercontinal championship has surpassed the world(or wwe) title.

CSL 08-22-2011 04:01 PM

Best: Shane McMahon (not the "best" per se but I enjoyed his run/the program over the title the most. "It's easy as 1-2-3, kid". No way anybody that voted Shane worst actually saw any of the stuff with him and X-Pac over the belt)

Worst: RVD

Owen did win the title in January 1998 and held it for two months.

Loose Cannon 08-22-2011 08:52 PM

D'Lo has to be the best just because of the whole gimmick around him.

I think the best feud over the title goes to Shane vs X-pac. 2nd best feud and match at Mania 15

Hornicane 08-23-2011 06:49 AM

Picking the best was hard. Going with D'Lo, although on a different day I could easily think Shane or X-Pac. Those three are the ones that immediately spring to mind for me when I think of the Euro title, and really seemed to make it a legit division.

Worst was Mideon. Because... c'mon. Mideon.

Thats right he fueded with triple H over it correct?I love Owen but goes to show how memorable his run was to me

was this post hart foundation?

Edit: X-pac and D'Lo get a mention for having such a great feud over it, it was defended so often it was like the TV Title, I think that feud led to the Shane/Pac Feud.

CSL 08-23-2011 04:21 PM

yah, like immediately after. Bret leaving/The Hart Foundation disappearing led to Owen's short program with Shawn/DX which led to his feud with Hunter.

addy2hotty 08-23-2011 04:42 PM

Best - D'Lo
Worst - Bulldog

Juan 08-23-2011 04:59 PM

Bulldog, really?

addy2hotty 08-23-2011 05:05 PM

Yeah, he only got the title because he was British. Won it on a house show, lost it on a house show and I can honestly remember nothing of his first reign or even him beating D'Lo for his 2nd.

Sad, but I can remember something about all the other champions apart from him.

BollywoodSingh 08-23-2011 06:46 PM

Best - D'Lo Brown because he was one of the few guys that was actually elevated when winning the European title. Winning the European title didn't help too many guys get over or move up the card in its history.

Worst - Mideon because his title reign basically established the title as a lower card title (a few upper card guys won it later like Jericho, Guerrero, Angle, etc.). Mideon was way too low on the card to win this. Before his reign, the Euro title was almost on the level of the IC title.

Corporate CockSnogger 08-23-2011 07:39 PM

Best: Eddie, although I was this >< close to choosing Shane O'Mac.

Worst: Gonna have to say Mideon.

was he only main eventing PPV's the year before and feuding with Shawn Michaels over the belt because he was British? And he won it on RAW and lost it on a UK PPV that aired in Canada and was recapped on RAW for the Americans. The tournament final alone against Owen is better than some guys reigns.

BollywoodSingh 08-23-2011 10:49 PM

Davey Boy Smith had at least 2 great European title matches. When he won the title against Owen Hart and when he lost the title in the UK PPV main event with HBK (incredible heat). He held for about 7 months but I don't remember him defending it much in between. The only other defense I can remember is against Ken Shamrock at Summerslam 1997. But this is still enough for him to be far away from the worst European champion of all-time.

PapaGeorgio 08-23-2011 10:56 PM

Best: D-Lo
Worst: Mideon.
