Number 2: Shawn Michaels
The Heartbreak Kid comes in at number 2 with much debate to be had. He had three reigns, and all of them were extremely important in the development of his character. He single-handedly brought attention to the division, as well as flair in everything he did. Michaels had to build his reputation from the ground up, with his dedication to continuously be the “Show Stopper.” This is why he thrived so much and had memorable matches. Shawn Michaels, with the help of Razor Ramon, made the Ladder Match a must-see match. Michaels would use the Intercontinental Championshup as the ultimate trampoline to the top. When he got to the top, he stayed there. Michaels never looked back, but always forward.
