On talent alone, Steamboat and SCSA deserve to be mentioned, but for some reason, I don't associate Austin with the I-C belt. And Steamboat had his reign cut really short because he wanted time off, so Vince had him job to HTM. HTM himself had a really long reign, but was booked to look like such a worthless piece of crap that it's hard to think of him as 'great.' I remember one four-week stretch on USA Primetime where Honky faced Lanny Poffo, Hillbilly Jim, Tito Santana, then 'Cowboy' Scott Casey. The matches went: cheat to win, cheat to win, DQ to retain, cheat to win...yikes. Not his fault, but still, it killed his credibility.
