Swaggering brute GUNTHER has done more for the Intercontinental Title than most wrestlers since the 1980s. His fantastic, soon-to-be-record breaking reign washes away all the rotten work WWE had done to destroy the "workhorse" title's legacy. It really has been that good, and it's why he's on this list.

Steve Austin, The Rock, Chris Jericho, Rob Van Dam and even Razor Ramon have something in common: WWE legends or not, their IC Title successes paled in comparison to the Austrian's. GUNTHER's run has been laced with excellent matches, and the quality has never dipped below "f*cking hell, that match was awesome" since he won the thing in June 2022.

Long may it continue.

GUNTHER's dominance has been so welcome that the booking follow up is gonna be a nightmare for WWE creative. Christ knows how they plan to better the prestige Imperium's leader has brought back to a beloved symbol of company lore. That'll be some task!
