You have to go all the way back to June 2001 to find the last time the men’s Intercontinental Championship changed hands in MSG – back when the company was still known as the World Wrestling Federation! It happened when Kane lost the IC Championship to Albert, of all people, in a No DQ Match on an episode of SmackDown.
The Big Red Machine had been the champion for about a month, having bested Triple H in a unique Chain Match at Judgment Day. Albert’s title reign ended up being even shorter than Kane’s, with the future A-Train/Tensai dropping the gold to The Alliance’s Lance Storm on the July 23 edition of Raw Is War.
