10 Best WWE Intercontinental Champions Of The 90s
10. Goldust
When Goldust burst upon the WWE scene in late 1995, fans were unsure what to make of the androgynous character.
Sporting a platinum blonde wig, and a long golden robe that covered an even longer tight gold bodysuit, it wasn't long until the Hollywood obsessor set his sights on a piece of gold that was to be worn around the waist.
The former Dustin Rhodes won his very first Intercontinental Championship by defeating Razor Ramon at the 1996 Royal Rumble in Fresno.
While Goldust's early career was a lightning rod of controversy thanks to his sexually ambiguous antics, his presentation really took off during his first reign as the Intercontinental titleholder.
Though not for the title, his Hollywood Backlot Brawl against Roddy Piper at WrestleMania XII was a WrestleMania moment and one of the more physical contests seen in WWE at that time.
Goldust was a staple of WWE programming throughout the mid-to-late 90s and his multiple reigns as Intercontinental Champion only added to the prestige of the title.
