#9 Brutus Beefcake pulled out of two Intercontinental Title Matches
Brutus Beefcake was one of the glorified midcarders in the WWE who had occasional main event spotlight. He had a good career mostly thanks to his good real life friend Hulk Hogan but when it came to SummerSlam, he didn’t have the same luck.
He was booked for a match with Honky Tonk Man in 1988 for the Intercontinental championship after a yearlong feud but could make it due to a kayfabe injury. This opened the door for Ultimate Warrior who ended the champions reign in just seconds.
Just two years later, Brutus was given another shot at SummerSlam for the same title this time against Mr. Perfect, and guess what happened. He got really injured, an injury that kept him out for three years.
Texas Tornado who replaced him went on to win the title just like Warrior meaning that Brutus is a charm for everyone seeking an intercontinental title reign.
