The Miz Achieves Intercontinental Title Milestone

[Kemo]

The Miz achieved a significant milestone at Extreme Rules, winning his 7th Intercontinental championship. While the statistic of how many times a wrestler wins a title is somewhat flawed, it is treated as important in WWE storylines.

With the win last night, the Miz moves passed Jeff Jarrett and Rob Van Dam for 2nd most IC title wins all-time. He is behind only Chris Jericho, who has won the title on 9 occasions.

The Miz is also moving up the ladder in terms of his “Most Days Spent as Intercontinental Champion” statistics.

Currently the Miz has held the title for 354 total days, ranking him 12th all time. If he gets through Raw tonight as champ he’ll move passed Shelton Benjamin as the 11th most days as champ. He needs just 100 more days to move all the way into the #3 spot.
