10 Longest combined reigns of WWE Intercontinental Champions

#8 Randy Savage (414 days)

Savage had one of the most memorable Intercontinental Championship reigns ever

Despite only having one reign as Champion, ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage is often listed amongst the greatest ever Intercontinental Champions for his 414-day reign between 1986 and 1987.

Savage feuded with the likes of Bruno Sammartino and George Steele during his tenure with the belt, but undoubtedly the highlight of his Intercontinental Championship run came in yet another classic match at WrestleMania III.

Randy Savage vs. Ricky Steamboat at the third edition of the Showcase of the Immortals is a favourite amongst fans of that era and the match stole the show, even though a Hulk Hogan vs. Andre The Giant match was also on the card. Savage vs. Steamboat was named ‘Match of the Year’ in 1987.

This title reign put Savage on the map in WWE and it is another example of the Intercontinental Championship setting up a superstar for a Hall of Fame career, and ‘Macho Man’ certainly had that.
