Intercontinental Championship champion “Stone Cold” Steve Austin since

“Stone Cold” Steve Austin captured his first Intercontinental Championship by winning what would turn out to be one of the most infamous matches of his illustrious career. At SummerSlam 1997, The Rattlesnake challenged Owen Hart for the title. During the match, Hart dropped Ausitn on his head with an belly-to-belly piledriver. The blow caused temporary paralysis to Austin, as well as much long-term damage. Somehow, however, Austin managed to gather up enough strength and determination to cradle Hart from behind and get the win.
