Boards.ie PW Intercontinental Champion Tournament

Moneymaker

This is what I thought it'd come down to.

Bret gets my vote. Jericho has the record reigns and he had some amazing matches, and a lot of them are still fresh in my mind.

But, without Bret, there is no Jericho and without Bret making the IC title the prestigious title it has been, Jericho's reigns may have never happened and the IC strap could easily have gone the way of the European title.

Bret vs Piper, Bret vs Bulldog, Bret vs HBK in the ladder match time forgot, Bret vs Perfect. All those matches defined Bret's career. Jericho was already a star before the IC title and it looked great on the man, but Bret has been my man since the start and i'm sticking with him.

PS: Thanks for doing this Shag

People voting bret because Jericho lost the title so many times?? It's scripted? Jericho losing the title that many times was also prob down to him wanting to put guys over, Bret know's nothing about that. For me Jericho is better in every aspect of professional wrestling than Bret Hart. That includes being a champion, i'm sure Jericho would gladly lose the strap in his own country too. So Jericho for me.

U really appear to have a deep hatred for Bret. Its like he started each round minus 1 vote because you were always gonna vote for anyway opponent haha.
( not dissing u either btw, perfectly entitled to do it!)

Anyway the reason I was posting was to say thanks for doing this OP been fun. I missed these.

Sin-é that's it. Even though I voted against Bret in earlier rounds he would get my vote in this round. Jericho for me was always entertaining but for me ,outside of the time he had the undisputed champion, he never seemed to be a man that was about belts. All the moments with Jericho revolve around his comedy or ruthless feuds.

So many of Hart's feud revolved around the tag titles, the intercontinental championship or the WWE belt.

Behind WMX I'd say Piper/Hart is probably favourite fight for the belt.

I count that Jericho in a photo finish 6-5.

Damn forgot to post and vote! I would have given it to Bret. Just been rewatching his IC title matches today and those three PPV matches he had between SummerSlam 91 and 92 are probably better than three of Jericho's best IC title matches.

If you haven't seen Jericho's matches with Mysterio though, they are very good and worth watching.

Well i'm a HBK guy but in all honesty yeah i just hate Bret i think he's a poor wrestler (not technically) but i find him extremely boring and his mic work sucks just never found him entertaining and then the whole ooh i'm bret hart even tho i'm leaving your company for another one i'm still not going to drop the belt because i'm a pretentious **** just really pissed me off and made me hate him more, thanks for noticing :pac:

Grand little tournament. It's pity Jericho was probably so odds on from the start. Surprise showings for Cody, Jeff Hardy and D-Lo.

Glad to see Jarrett have a worthy run. Hate main event Jarrett but as a mid card he just fits right. Was gutted Goldust got knocked out so early I think his original character and he run he had with the belt seriously overlooked.

Pity Bad News fell at the first fence but tbh he suffers like a lot of the mid card title holders of recent times. They have the titles and are given nothing to do with them.


Razor V Honky
HBK V Warrior
Austin V Orton
HBK V Bret
Bulldog V Jericho
Edge V HHH


It threw up some tasty match ups

Yeah thanks for the tourny used to do them a lot on another forum (think were banned from mentioning others?) what's next? Tag teams? greatest non champions? Divas?

ShagNastii

Over the last year or so, me (and others) have done.

Tag Teams: Dudleyz
Stables: The Heart Foundation
WWE Theme: Real American- Hulkster
Non-WWE Theme: Joint Winner (Four Horsemen/ECW Themrle)
IC Champion: Chris Jericho

Women could be fun. Will keep my head down but I think a 64 man/women best WCW superstar or ECW superstar could be cool. Or even best Japan superstar.

Ken Shamrock

Yeah sounds good, i wont start one cause im not on here enough to keep it up but certainly take part as much as i can if anyone else has the dedication
