5 wrestlers with most WWE Intercontinental Title wins

#4 Jeff Jarrett - 6

Jeff Jarrett once held the record for most IC title wins

There have been a lot of criticisms regarding the star power of Jeff Jarrett, especially during his reigns as World Champion in WCW and later TNA. While WWE documentaries looking back at the Attitude Era tend to dismiss him as someone who couldn't draw, the fact remains that Vince McMahon believed in him strong enough to give him 6 runs with the IC Title at a time winning any title in the WWE was considered an achievement.

Jarrett held the record for most IC Title reigns at one point and he sure beat an eclectic set of opponents to win the belt. Jarrett won the title from Razor Ramon (2) and a very young Edge, but also had title wins over the likes of Bob Holly, D'lo Brown and the Godfather. It is also interesting to note that Jarrett won the first three of his titles over a five-month period in 1995 whereas the last three titles came over a similar period in 1999.

Jarrett's final reign would end at the hands of Chyna - a match that Jarrett worked without a contract and allegedly held Vince McMahon up for a huge payday to drop the title to a woman. The action would see Jarrett blackballed from the WWE for 20 years.
