WWE: 5 Awesome Intercontinental Champions and 5 That Sucked

4. Drew McIntyre

http://youtu.be/P71_7EUr4LI?t=2m36s Further proof that while credited with a lot of hits, Vince McMahon has just as many misses. Okay, probably way more misses than hits, with McIntyre being one of them. It€™s unknown whether McMahon€™s was enamored with Drew€™s flowing mane of hair, or his slender-like Randy Orton body, but apparently he saw money in this guy. He even went so far as to show up on SmackDown and personally co-sign this guy in front of a national television audience. Bad move. As Intercontinental Champion McIntyre failed to live up to the hype. With his only real, worthwhile feud being against Teddy Long. This led to McMahon coming to Drew€™s aid when Long decided to suspend him and strip him of the title, which was one of Long€™s better ideas outside of an impromptu tag team match. Thankfully McIntyre lost the IC Title to Kofi Kingston and then hitched a ride on the Cody Rhodes express train to greatness, only to be dropped off somewhere in Jobber Town.
