[MiLB Fan]

Cesaro had some great lines in this episode.

"It used to be that the WWE Title was meant for the main eventers, and the Intercontinental Title was for the mid-card guys. But now those lines have kinda blurred. And I'm not talking about that piece of shit song!"

"Oh, you won the Intercontinental Title nine times? Great, but that means you also LOST it nine times."

[Spider2024]

What do they mean by 'infamous'? I was thinking guys like Dean Douglas, the Mountie, Albert, etc.

WWE probably just went with that title because "infamous" and "Intercontinental" both start with "I" and they liked the way it sounded. Kinda like how another Countdown episode was titled "Most Dangerous Divas" -- someone at WWE sure liked alliteration.

[Porky's Butthole]

Just watched this. I call bullshit. Perfect should have been 1.

[wgdj]

Once again, Hogan proves he is astonishingly full of shit. Speaking of Warrior's WM6 win, Hogan says, "The first thing I thought was: 'he deserves it.'"

For YEARS he has said that he told Vince that The Ultimate Warrior "wasn't ready." Now he's claiming that Warrior "deserved" the title win?

[spagett]

Macho Man should have been in the top 10.

For me personally when I think of the Intercontinental Champion I picture Razor Ramon. He's always going to the best intercontinental champion for me.

[Zach]

I thought for sure #1 would have been Perfect or HTM....I don't see why Jericho was even on the list, he isn't someone I think of when talking about IC champions

My point exactly. Actually, when I first heard of this countdown, I thought they were using 'infamous' as like another way of saying 'obscure', like "Guys you didn't know were Intercontinental Champion" or guys who weren't exactly the greatest Intercontinental Champions of all time.

[Seth Drakin of Monster Crap]

Love the fact that they were trying to say how great the Intercontinental Title used to be as a launching pad towards world title contention. I always would say "USED TO BE" any time they would talk about it.

[Citizen Snips]

Name a moment from a Cody Rhodes, Ken Shamrock of Jeff Jarrett IC title reign that was better than Don Muraco eating a hoagie while beating up a jobber. Can't be done.

[Nickybojelais]

I wouldn't have even remembered Cody Rhodes as an Intercontinental Champion on a sporcle game, never mind on a top 10 list.

I was only half watching the episode, but wasn't someone like "HE'S on the list? f*** off hahahahahahahaha"?

[Crappler El 0 M]

I don't even understand the concept. Did they define what kind of IC Champ they were ranking?

Just watched and it was Zack Ryder, who bid $12,500 on a Greg The Hammer Valentine figure....and still lost out WTF?

At least the superstars acknowledged that HTM got screwed by the fans although I will agree that the WWE shouldnt have used infamous in the title but hey sounds cool I guess?

[auph10imitated]

Savage had an awesome reign why te hell is he not on here.

Shamrocks was brief and forgettable. Jarrett had about 6 reigns and Cody brought back the Classic belt so I guess that explains thier places

But yes they do really need to look up the definition of Infamous

[Deleted]

How is Honky not #1!?

[Manute Bol]

Honky really should have been number 1. I'm not even sure I'd put Jericho on the top 10 at all.

Rick Rude should have been on there as well and Goldust definitely comes to mind before Cody when I think of the IC belt.
