5 of the best WWE Intercontinental champions, and 5 of the worst.

#2 One of the Best: Ultimate Warrior

The dearly departed Jim "Warrior" Hellwig was perhaps the only man larger than life enough to follow in Honky Tonk Man's footsteps as IC champion. After demolishing Honky Tonk Man at the first SummerSlam in under a minute, he went on to reign until Wrestlemania 6 with only a brief interruption in his reign via Rick Rude.

Warrior's popularity and fan favorite status changed the scope of the IC title picture. Now fans were eagerly hoping the champion would retain instead of being defeated. Warrior technically never lost the IC belt a second time; He vacated the title after cleanly pinning Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania 6.
