Guest alfdogg Posted August 10, 2002 Report Posted August 10, 2002 Well, at least I don't have to shit a brick now. Vote away.
Guest Austin3164life Posted August 10, 2002 Report Posted August 10, 2002 I vote the Macho Man, because he was a big reason that the title meant something in the midst of the Hulkamania era. His long ass reign showed that he was a prestigious Intercontinental Champion, and that the IC Title (other than the World Title) was a highly coveted belt in the WWF.
Guest bob_barron Posted August 10, 2002 Report Posted August 10, 2002 I vote Macho too since well Rock was good but also had the terrible Rocky Maiva reign and Bret lost to the Mountie
Guest kingkamala Posted August 10, 2002 Report Posted August 10, 2002 I vote Macho too since well Rock was good but also had the terrible Rocky Maiva reign and Bret lost to the Mountie Yeah but he had Sherri... ughh
Guest bob_barron Posted August 10, 2002 Report Posted August 10, 2002 He didn't have Sherri while champ. He had the lovely Miss Elizabeth
Guest mesepher Posted August 10, 2002 Report Posted August 10, 2002 I voted for the Hitman because I have not seen any of Savage's IC run... besides on old PPV tapes... and I know a lot about Bret Hart's title runs... and he won the belt on the first PPV I ever saw.
Guest jimmy no nose Posted August 11, 2002 Report Posted August 11, 2002 I really like Savage as champion, not sure why.
Guest nWoScorpion Posted August 11, 2002 Report Posted August 11, 2002 Savage was like the HTM. He would usually lose non title matches but when he did defend it he'd either win by cheating, or by having his opponents distracted by Elizabeth (George Steele for one).
Guest Midnight Express83 Posted August 11, 2002 Report Posted August 11, 2002 Savage was IC champ just to hold him off while Hogan was world champ. Bret was IC champ as a stepping stone to the world title(year later). I voted for Rocky because his second title reign DEFINED him. Anything from NOD until today was made because of that title reign. But he didn't have a bad first one.
Guest Bricks Posted August 11, 2002 Report Posted August 11, 2002 A vote for Rocky from me. His second Intercontinental Championship reign was so great that it set him up for SuperStardom. Savage and Bret were *great* Champions, but they didn't seem to come out of their reigns as hot as The Rock did in '98.
Guest nWoScorpion Posted August 11, 2002 Report Posted August 11, 2002 WHA?! Bret & Savage both become two of the greatest champions in WWF history after having succesful title reigns as IC Champ (brets first IC title reign was better).
Guest Bricks Posted August 11, 2002 Report Posted August 11, 2002 Yeah, Bret and Savage were great Champions, but I dunno. Once Rock lost at SummerSlam '98, you just felt that this is the guy you put the belt on as soon as you can. When Bret lost his at SummerSlam '92, it still seemed like Flair/Savage were more above Bret at that point.
Guest Midnight Express83 Posted August 11, 2002 Report Posted August 11, 2002 Rocky losing the title to Trips MADE them. Savage wasn't really world title contender until he LOST the title in the greatest WWF match ever. Bret was still a midcarder when he lost the title. He didn't get world champ cred until 1994.
Guest Your Olympic Hero Posted August 12, 2002 Report Posted August 12, 2002 Savage wasn't really world title contender until he LOST the title in the greatest WWF match ever. Savage/Steamboat was overrated. Probably *****, but not the best ever.
Guest CanadianChris Posted August 12, 2002 Report Posted August 12, 2002 I don't necessarily disagree, but what was better, and why?
Guest Your Olympic Hero Posted August 12, 2002 Report Posted August 12, 2002 The 1992 Royal Rumble match. And something abotu the Flair/Savage match from WMVIII just amazes me.
Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted August 12, 2002 Report Posted August 12, 2002 Savage wasn't really world title contender until he LOST the title in the greatest WWF match ever. Savage almost won the WWF Title from Hogan at Madison Square Garden, but the decision was overturned ala Benoit at Fully Loaded 2000. Bret was still a midcarder when he lost the title. He didn't get world champ cred until 1994. Actually it was late 1993/early 1993, during the "If the right one (Flair) don't get you, the left one (Ramon) will" feud, but I agree that he was a midcarder when he lost the title. His second reign was better than his first though.
Guest Shaved Bear Posted August 12, 2002 Report Posted August 12, 2002 whenever i think IC belt i think of Bret Hart having it
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted August 12, 2002 Report Posted August 12, 2002 Savage/Steamboat was the greastest match of all time when it happened.
