10 Most Unlikely WWE Intercontinental Champions Ever

3. Albert

To younger fans, the name 'Lord Tensai' is synonymous with a short push in 2012, followed by a comedy tag-team alongside Brodus Clay which didn't really get off the ground. It's almost scary to think that Tensai was initially ear-marked for a major feud opposite John Cena, more than a decade after WWE had previously tried to make Matt Bloom into a top line star. Before he'd find significant success in Japan, Bloom filled the role of the character known simply as 'Albert'. An unassuming name to be sure, the same couldn't be said of his previous title, 'Prince Albert', which refers to genital piercings, a sure fire way to create wrestling box office. In all seriousness, Albert was never really over as a singles star, but he did capture the Intercontinental Title. Of all wrestlers, Albert emerged victorious over Kane in June, 2001, but would only hold the Intercontinental strap for just shy of a month, losing it to the incoming Lance Storm in July. It was a short, uninspiring reign for the big man, who would later also play 'A-Train' in subsequent years. Fans chanting 'shave your back' at the man still remains more noteworthy than his unlikely run with the Intercontinental Title.
