Think of a great wrestler from the last forty years and odds are they've held the Intercontinental Title. Since 1979, this championship has served as a stepping stone for several wrestlers towards the top of the company. At the same time though it has also given us a long list of classic matches and moments, which we'll be looking at in this book. I've taken a look back at over 400 Intercontinental Title matches taken from pay per views, television and house shows, including every title change filmed and a wide selection of title defenses. For each match I'll be including play by play and analysis while also looking at each individual champion to see how the title has evolved while also staying the same over the years.
