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. ![]() |

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

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. |

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

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

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

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". |

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. |

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.
