In no particular order:
Savage Rude Bret Hart Shawn Michaels Triple H The Rock Owen Hart Kurt Angle Chris Jericho Razor Ramon 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. |

Based on revenue alone, HTM is probably one of the top workers in WWE history. But as a fan, I just remember him going months at a time between clean wins. |

A couple of you are fans of the Honky Tonk Man, and that's fine, but the guy makes me sick. "Why?" you might ask. Read his website. He's a very bitter man who believes his own hype. He hates Piper because of this, Hogan cause of that, Nash is this, and Hall is that. He bad mouthed Mr Perfect when he died, bad mouthed Lugar AND Elizabeth when she passed, but praises the hell out of Jake Roberts.

Just for the record Rude DID past away before Perfect and Elizabeth. Just over 5 years now.

Well, Orton has held it longer than some of the most noteworthy champions in history. Orton so far has held it 164 days by my calculations, beating off the likes of Ricky Steamboat (65 days), Rick Rude (128), Kevin Nash (118), Steve Austin (less than 92, combined), Billy Gunn (19) and Shane Douglas (15... minutes).
Not that I'm saying he's the best champion ever, but if they leave it on him for a few more months... |

If the WWE officals are as high on Orton as we all think they are, they'll probably try to make him one of the best of all time, if not the best. He's got all the tools to be the next "legend", they just need to take their time to build him up to be so. So far, so good

The Rock, Rick Rude, Bret Hart, Angle, Benoit, Jericho ... most of these people have been mentioned already.
I like The Rock's reign especially because he reminded me of The Honky Tonk Man...the way he would retain the victories. |
