WWE.com lists the top 25 Intercontinental Champions of all time

Monday will mark the 35th anniversary of Pat Patterson becoming the inaugural Intercontinental Champion.  In kayfabe, he unified his WWF North American Heavyweight belt with a South American one in a tournament in Brazil.  In reality, that tournament never happened...

Pro wrestling, everybody!

Check it out and see where you agree, disagree or flat out can't even deal with it!

21.  Goldust
20.  Jeff Jarrett
19.  The Rock

Maybe Creative will look at this list, realize how few of these names had runs with the IC title in the 21st century and decide it really is time to build up the mid-card and secondary titles again?

What do you think, Cagesiders?  Either about the list, or whether the fact that the company is talking about the belt at all ( and in light of a part-time guy holding the only major title in WWE right now) might be a good sign?
