The Intercontinental Championship is one of the most Prestigious Titles in WWE history.
#6 Hulk Hogan

The Hulkster spent the majority of his prime chasing World Championships.
This might come as extremely shocking to many, considering that almost every top Superstar of the 80s and 90s held the IC Title at least once. However, you can count Hulk Hogan out of that list. The Hulkster, during the majority of his WWF career, remained in the WWF Title hunt.

The closest he came to winning the prestigious Championship was at Wrestlemania VI when he faced off against The Ultimate Warrior. It was a "Winner Takes All" match with Hogan entering as the WWF Champion and Warrior heading in as the Intercontinental Champion. Hogan then moved to WCW (after a short stint in NJPW) and didn't return to WWF until 2002. This rendered him unable to compete for WWF's resident mid-card title during the 90s.

There is no denying that Hulk Hogan is one of the biggest names in professional wrestling history. However, the absence of an Intercontinental Title reign in his extensive list of accomplishments can't go unnoticed.

Ali Siddiqui is a listicle and feature writer for Sportskeeda Wrestling since 2018. After completing his Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, he decided to write for Sportskeeda Wrestling after learning about it through a friend. He briefly worked for The Sportster as well.
Ali's love for pro wrestling dates back to when Randy Orton won a Battle Royal to become the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2004. His current favorite wrestler is Cody Rhodes because he's the ultimate throwback babyface. He believes Rhodes has the Surfer Sting's passion, Bret Hart's prop-gifting schtick, a catchy theme like Hogan's, and a kid-friendly demeanor akin to John Cena's.
When he is not doing research for his articles on Google or catching up with the latest in pro wrestling, Ali can be found honing his Data Science and AI skills as he strives to get back into tech in the near future.
