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

#2 One of the Worst: Ryback

Sometimes, a wrestle management has a particular interest in will be given a title reign in order to 'legitimize' them. This has worked well for some wrestlers, like John Cena. For others, however, the title reign simply isn't enough to get them over.

Ryback is the latter. Despite a monster push and an IC title reign, the Big Guy really didn't do anything memorable when he was champion. In fact, many believe that instead of the IC belt elevating Ryback, Ryback actually lowered the stock of the championship.
