Although he wasn’t as technically skilled as some of the other Intercontinental Champions on this list, The Ultimate Warrior still had some iconic moments with the belt in the early days of his WWE tenure and helped sustain the prestige of the championship.

Warrior’s first reign began after he memorably ended the Honky Tonk Man’s historic Intercontinental Title run in half a minute at SummerSlam ’88, this was after Warrior came out as a surprise replacement for the injured Brutus Beefcake, who was originally scheduled to face Honky Tonk Man.

After winning the Intercontinental Championship, Warrior went on to become one the WWE’s biggest stars and never actually lost the title during his second reign. Instead, he would vacate the title after he became the World Heavyweight Champion by defeating Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VI.
