6. His Second IC Title Reign Happened After Beth Phoenix Won A Tag Match
WWE.comIf you're an old school wrestling fan then you remember when the Intercontinental Title was prestigious. It was held in high regard because it was a championship that was held by some of the greatest wrestlers ever. In the mid 2000s things didn't go well with the IC Title. Santino's first IC Title win was his debut in April 2007, but then he won it a year later a SummerSlam too. What's sad about that one is that he didn't even factor into the decision yet he became the IC Champion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ckO1STFRVg There was an intergender tag match at SummerSlam 2008 with IC Champ Kofi Kingston and Women's Champ Mickie James defending their titles against Santino and Beth Phoenix. Whoever won the match got to be the champions. The Santino character was entertaining, but having another joke IC Champion really upset fans that missed when the IC Title actually meant something.
