#3. The Mountie held the Intercontinental Championship
The Intercontinental Championship came under arrest from The Mountie in January 1992. The evil and corrupt Canadian Mounted Policeman made sure to make his opponents' lives miserable if they crossed paths with him.
Prior to becoming The Mountie, he was a successful tag team wrestler under the name of Jacques Rougeau, which was also his real name. He won the WWE Tag Team Championships three times with his tag team partner Pierre Oullett, now better known as PCO.
The Mountie defeated Bret Hart in January 1992 to become the Intercontinental Champion. This was his first major singles championship win in WWE. Sadly, Mountie lost his championship just two days later to 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event.
Speaking to Sportskeeda, The Mountie discussed a time Chris Jericho name dropped him as the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all-time:
"One time it was out of nowhere," said Rougeau. "I finished my run with Vince [McMahon], I wasn’t on good terms at all with the WWF [WWE], and I just happened to see an interview one time when he was on. I wasn’t even watching wrestling with them anymore, and he did an interview and he said something like, ‘The greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time, The Mountie!’"
