    Fun fact, part of the reason Macho Man was elevated to the WWF Championship picture and won the belt is because Honkytonk Man wouldn't do the job and drop the Intercontinental championship to Savage. By the way, Scott Hall and Curt Hennig should have eventually become WWF Champion.

  • @patrickfrierson8714
    @patrickfrierson8714 Год назад +2

    While there were a few exceptions with both titles, at the height of Hulkamania, if you held the world title, you was the “face” of the company. but if you held the IC title, you was the “heart” of the company for your in-ring work. I miss the golden “WWF” days when every wrestler in each division only had “three belts” to feud over. The titles meant more back in the day imo-as each Tag Team, Intercontinental and World Heavyweight champ felt like the best of the best in their respective classes. As much as I love the attitude era, I felt all three of those titles lost much of their prestige when they began adding other niche titles, and more title changes started to take place on the regular basis. I love the video btw!!

    Two guys who should have had it in my book are Jake the Snake and IRS. Both were always in high-profile feuds. Jake never got it because of his notorious bad luck with circumstances with other wrestlers, like Honky Tonk refusing to drop the belt to him. IRS was a guy who always seemed like a perfect heel IC Champ. Rotunda was such a technician, a big bruiser type that deceptively agile. I know had the belt for like 5 minutes in 1994 at the Royal Rumble before the match was re-started, but at least he had a great run with Money Inc. and the Tag titles. Ted DiBiase is a guy who it almost seems like was too *grand* for the IC title. I have no feeling it would have done anything for him.

    My favorite it has to be Mr.Perfect. I loved it when he became champion for 2 reasons 1 of course he finally became champion after already been in the wwe for almost 3 years which was terrible, but he also gained Bobby Heenan as his manager on the same night, referring to him as the perfect manager and these two were pure gold together.

      People don't realize during that era in the WWF, the IC title was held in higher regard than the World Title. The World Champion was who the best entertainer was, not the best "wrestler."
      Every comment section there are marks who list wrestlers who should have been world champion. How could all those guys all have a run with the world title in that era? If everyone gets a run with the belt it would lose the prestige, plus it wouldn't be logical being there's only so many days in the year... It all comes from the "Everyone gets a Trophy" mentality.
