Best Wrestler Never to hold the IC Title...
 

Taking a spin off of the regular "Best wrestler to never win a world title" thread, who do you think was the best wrestler never to hold the (at least up until about 2001 or so) coveted Intercontinental Championship?

Keep in mind that this wrestler must have wrestled for WWF/E for at least a short period of time (doesn't count if they had one or two matches or a few dark matches). They can be former World Champions.

Brock Lesnar

That was the first name that came to mind for me. :y:

Was Rey ever an IC title holder? Even though the hatred the man carries don't think Hogan was ever IC champ either.

Undertaker

One word-Vader.

Sean Waltman, Tully Blanchard, JBL, and Barry Windham.

Jeff Jarret, Chris Jericho, Rob Van Dam and Edge

I'm guessing you are being sarcastic. Because you forgot Chyna <font color=black>and poland</font>

The attempted comedy was that Jericho Jarret Edge and RVD are the top 4 for most reigns.

And for the record, Chyna wasn't half bad. Sure she was a woman, but she was over as hell and compared to some of the garbage title holders she holds her own.

Yeah, I was thinking as such.

I'm dearly hoping I'm misunderstanding this statement and you didn't say they were the top 4 IC title reigns.

Top 4 for most reigns. Meaning, most times holding the belt

If you quoted it, you should have read it

I did say I was hoping I misunderstood. Clearly I did.

Jericho is tops though, on any list involving IC champions.

:shifty:

Pimpin ain't easy

DDP. He could have done wonders for that title for the short stinct that he was there.

Berzerker

Tully Fucking Blanchard

But for real, WWF/WWE guys, I would say Taker.

Questions like "Who's the best wrestler never to wear the I-C title" makes me think of guys who acctually needed the belt, not guys who never needed the title and were vaulted past it straight to the heavyweight title. Everyone is saying names like Taker, Lesnar, Hogan, but those were guys who were top stars and never needed the belt. I'm thinking of guys who wrestled their ass off and were just never given that push towards the title. For me guys like Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson, Dean Malenko or Rey Mysterio

:yes: :yes: :yes:

Great thread.

I am going to have to go with raven.

Road Warrior is right.

My honest answer is Tazz

Jake Roberts, Ted Dibiase

Tully Blanchard, Jake Roberts, Mongo, and The Million Dollar Man.

"the model" rick martel

Oh, and The Repo Man. Classic stuff!

steve "mongo" mcmichael?

what other Mongo would there be

i was afraid that was the answer :nono:

Kevin Federline

Mongo was never in WWF/WWE though. You can't be pissed that he never won a title in a fed he never worked for.

As for Misterio, he was the World champion. I don't know why several people are saying he wasn't, unless it's some kind of "satire".

I mean, he made a few appearances for them in 1995, but he never worked as a wrestler there.

Mongo would have been great as an IC champ. Worse wrestlers have been there, and allbeit he was never wrestling for the IC title, he was a<strike>n awesome</strike> wrestler who never had the IC title.

He was a terrible wrestler, and arguably the worst Horseman ever.

Sure, you can point at Paul Roma, or Sid, or Sting's flopped run.... nah, I'm sticking with Mongo as worst Horseman ever.

:lol: Ha, I just literally wrote that post, then decided to check out WrestleCrap, to be greeted by this....

Brian Pillman and Bad News Brown are two guys that haven't been mentioned that I would add. Bam Bam Bigelow also comes to mind.
