Shawn just about passes past the Warrior probably the biggest name to get knocked in the first round. Last three guys up and we have a Triple Threat.

+1 for these 2. The IC title jumped started Michael's single career and Double J was just great fun, J-E-Double F, J-A-Double R-E, Double T.

Ahmed for the craic. First African American to capture the IC strap

Loughc

Jeff Hardy.

The Miz's US Title Run was better than his I-C run(s)

ShagNastii

Ahmed was an utter beast but have to vote for Hardy.

His feud with Johnny Nitro (for the IC strap) was one of my favs of his.

Bounty Hunter

a vote for Hardy here too, the other two wouldnt be far behind though

Jeff Hardy

Jeff Hardy Swanton bombs his way into the second round. Everyone has made an appearance at this stage. We have seen our winner. The second round has just as many interesting match-ups as the first. You can count on one hand the amount of relatively uninspiring champs left on one hand. 8 Hall of Famers, 17 champs that went on to hold the a WWE world title, 2 sets of brothers, 1 set of “brothers”, 4 continents in the running to have a winner, double-jobbers that remains included a pimp, a pornstar, an Elvis impersonater, and a country singer. Again the round is destined to have a few big name fallers. Can count only one dud draw. A lot of history between many of the match-ups. Round Two first to Four.

Austin and Rock, obviously. Both guys became superstars they are today and it began with the IC title. Steamboat and Punk were fantastic too of course but they don't compare.

Austin gets quite a scare from a guy he would have encountered in WCW, the Dragon bows out after a valiant. Rocky makes easy work of CM Punk who throughout his career was uber entertaining but I guess his title reign suffered from lack of a memorable feud or event. Looks like there is a greater amount of interest now we are at the business end of the tournament but I’ll keep it at first to four and crank it up to five in the next round. An Evolution duo hope to make it through in the next pair of bouts.

Evolution sweep here, Flair and Orton.

Orton was a great IC champion enjoyed his run of matches against RVD and Edge for the title.

Moneymaker

Flair and Orton.

Really enjoyed both their reigns.
