Its a tough call.
Bret had some great matches with the belt, as did Hennig, Bulldog sold out Wembley going after the IC title, Rock and Austin did well with the belt. Then there are the older guys like Tito and Valentine that were great champs as well.
For me its a toss up between Savage and HBK. HBK gets some extra credit for doing the Ladder Matches with Hall, which really made the title seem important, but then Savage had great matches and also got to main event with the IC title against Hogan on many occasions. Then again, HBK also did that with Bret on a PPV, so its a tough call.
Can I call it a tie?
Of course Honytonk Man is really the 'greatest IC champ of all time', but I figured everyone already knew that, so I'd go with someone else.
