WWE: 5 Awesome Intercontinental Champions and 5 That Sucked

1. The Mountie

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJPu5sErmLw The only thing that can justify this title win is that Bret Hart did indeed have a fever of 103 that was borderline life threatening on the night that The Mountie had won it. Or the WWE just needed to get the IC belt on Roddy Piper somehow in order to build to the WrestleMania VIII match between him and the Hitman. Then again, they could€™ve just as easily had Piper beat Bret at the Royal Rumble then lose to him in the rubber match at Mania. Either way the WWE allowed this championship win to happen.There was no sadder feeling than waking up on Saturday morning to catch Superstars and watching the house show footage of The Mountie reversing the Hitman€™s inside cradle - or small package - and getting the win. Luckily, Piper was there to rescue Bret from a post-match beatdown, only to later go after the IC Title himself. At least he waited until the Rumble, unlike that jerk Hulk Hogan who came to Bret€™s aid at WrestleMania IX, then beat Yokozuna for the WWE Title, after Yoko had stolen it from Bret. But unlike Piper, never gave Bret a shot at the title. Man, Bret€™s been getting screwed since back in the day. But back to the subject at hand, Bret Hart lost to a guy called The Mountie. A corrections officer from Cobb County, Georgia is one thing, but a freakin€™ Canadian mountie? And to top it off, The Mountie lost the championship, two days later, in his first title defense which gives him the dubious honor of being the #1 Intercontinental Champion who sucked.
