00:00 I'm not going to be able to defend my belt at WrestleMania. Oh look at him, he's cracking
00:05 already. I haven't even done the intro. Hello and welcome back to everyone's favourite show
00:11 on PartsFunKnown, my favourite show on PartsFunKnown, the show where I re-evaluate my friendships.
00:17 It's Survival Series, the cheeriest wrestling show on YouTube that everybody most wants
00:21 to be part of, including our new guest, it's Dan Layton! I did ask for this, this is not
00:28 a thing where it's like, oh okay, okay, I'm actually very nervous. Luke, you're back!
00:32 Do you think you're going to win this time? I don't know what the topic is. I said on
00:37 the last one, and I thought it might be Chamber, but if it's that or I see champs, I'm boned.
00:41 I've got a feeling it's WrestleMania themed. Now, if it's WrestleMania main events, I might
00:46 do alright. If it's locations, not a chance. If it's opening matches, not a chance. Attendance
00:52 figures, not a chance. But I think if it's main events, I might do okay. If you're watching
00:59 this for the first time, each of our contestants will be given three strikes. If they get any
01:04 incorrect answer, they're not allowed to move on to the next correct answer unless they
01:07 give me the answer of which they are stuck on. So Dan, today, oh god, we are going to
01:13 be doing one of our most heavily requested topics. Can you name every single WWE Intercontinental
01:21 Champion? No, no Tempest. It's WrestleMania season. We're supposed to be doing WrestleMania
01:25 main events, you bastard. No, no, no one can. In reverse chronological order. Okay, okay.
01:33 This is one of the three things that I revised for today. So I should be slightly better
01:38 than I would have been otherwise. Okay, well, this isn't going to last long. Oh, oh my god.
01:45 Oh, Pete watches a lot of SmackDown. You got dressed up for this. I was going to come in
01:55 and do a cool line. We're like, oh, it's survival series. I'm all business. And this is a f***ing
02:00 s*** you throw at me. So with that being said, who is the reigning and defending Intercontinental
02:06 Champion? Gunther. From Friends. If you can put Gunther the Blonde and holding a cup of
02:13 coffee, that would be perfect. Ding. Thank you. The ding general. That's stupid. Cut
02:22 that. Keep it in. You keep that in. So Shameless has never won it. That's a, I'm not going
02:27 to say Shameless. It's WrestleMania season. Why aren't we doing main events, Tempest?
02:32 Why do you hate me? I can tell you that Ricochet has had the belt and Sami has had the belt
02:39 and Nakamura has had the belt in the last couple of years. What order that goes in or
02:45 when that happened, I've no idea. I don't even think I know who Gunther won it from.
02:48 I think it's Ricochet, but it could, well, it could very well be Sami Zayn. Oh my god.
02:54 Gunther's had it for a while because he's nearing the Honky Tonk Man record. But who
03:01 did Gunther win it off of? Gunther beat Ricochet for that belt. Ricochet. The thing about the
03:07 Intercontinental Championship is I can't even try and game it from pay-per-views because
03:11 they never bloody defend it on a pay-per-view. Tempest is the second one. It's the second
03:16 one. You're doing great. You'd have thought you'd at least get five. You thought wrong.
03:23 Gunther won it off Ricochet. It's on Smackdown and it's not Shameless. Sami Zayn. That is
03:29 your first incorrect answer. Ricochet. Ding. Okay. Nakamura. That is your first strike.
03:37 Oh no, I'm going to be one and done. Who was Nakamura feuding with forever? It was Nakamura.
03:44 It was Rick, who was with Rick Boogs. Because of that. Pat McAfee loves. And then they were
03:52 feuding with, I want to say Baron Corbin. Oh no. Baron Corbin. That is your second strike.
04:03 Who did Gunther beat? Someone small, surely. Rey hasn't had it recently. Has he? AJ was
04:11 on Smackdown. Was he? I can't even think of a good guess. Damian Priest was the United
04:17 States Champion. It's not Nakamura. It's not Corbin. Who else has been on Smackdown for
04:23 the last three years? Chad Gable.
04:27 Oli, it's time for you to get the f*** out. And I'm proud to announce that we have a new
04:36 worst ever performance on Survival Series. You should be ashamed. I didn't want to be
04:45 the Santino of this show. For 20 long years, Oli Davis held the record for the worst performance
04:53 in a Survival Series episode. Who was it? It was Ricochet. F*** Ricochet. I'm like,
05:00 what did you say f*** me for? Ricochet beat my favorite man in the world, Sami Zayn. Sami
05:06 Zayn? Sami Zayn. Sami Zayn. Okay. All right. Okay. I haven't disgraced myself. We've got
05:10 three. There were a couple of Sami Zayn reigns around here. Sami Reigns. Sami Reigns. So
05:17 we're coming to 2021. 2021 certainly has an Apollo Crews and a Big E in there. So if I
05:21 trace that to where I think Sami won it, I've just got to decide whether there's anything
05:26 in here. Does that look like Nakamura had it for a year and didn't defend it? Or is that
05:31 over here? Right. WrestleMania. Oh, that's not going to help me. They never defend the
05:34 f***ing belt at WrestleMania. The last time I was defended at WrestleMania. This is not
05:38 an answer. Don't you take it from me. This is not an answer. Show my working. Show my
05:42 working. Look at all the equations that are around my head. There you are, Adam Whitney.
05:46 If I have to suffer, you do too. Look, an explosion. Look, I don't know. Put a favourite
05:51 meme there. I'm rattled. Andy Datson working at McDonald's. Ding. There we go. He beat
05:57 King Nakamura. King Nakamura. King Nakamura. I'm going to stop. Don't cut that. You better
06:03 not cut that. King Nakamura? Oh, God. As far as I'm concerned, I've already won. WrestleMania
06:09 38 wasn't defended. Or was it? I don't care. It's just fine. I'm right up until before
06:15 then, Sami Zayn. So it gets to WrestleMania 37, where it gets on to Apollo Crews. So between
06:23 then, which is 2021. Yes, the drum fight is 2021. That's in Tampa. So between then it
06:29 gets on to Sami Zayn. Heel wouldn't take it to heel. So who did Sami take it off of? Nakamura.
06:37 Right. That's Nakamura, which then I think will probably take us to Apollo Crews. Apollo
06:43 Crews. Apollo Crews. Apollo Crews. Because it was the Nigerian drum fight match at WrestleMania
06:51 and he beat Big E for the belt. Ding. Despite no one getting hit with a drum. Ow. Big E.
06:58 Ding. Look at this. I'm very impressed. Mate. Big E. Big E. I'm now at Bige. You didn't
07:06 win it off Shinsuke, did you? That is your first strike, sir. Big E won it off. He beat
07:14 Sami Zayn again. That's another reign. I'm tempted just to say Sami because I think Sami
07:19 had it for a little while here. So Sami and then there's like an AJ. So I'm going to just
07:23 say now, Sami Zayn. Sami Zayn again. Ding. Because of the ladder earring. This could
07:28 be it. We could just have three strikes in a row. That would be devastating. Dan, you
07:31 were doing so well. I was doing so well. Did you win it off Jeff Hardy? Is that a guess?
07:37 Maybe. Yeah. Jeff Hardy. That is your second strike. Did he win it off Sami Zayn? AJ Styles.
07:45 That is your second incorrect answer. Damn it. Did Sami Zayn win it off Jeff Hardy? Sami
07:50 was still claiming he was the IT champ from before. So there was like the two belts. So
07:54 it was like unifying even though Sami wasn't officially the champ. He was just claiming
07:58 that he was. Which means it was either AJ or Jeff Hardy that was the champ. There's
08:02 definitely an AJ here. Which means there's a someone here that I don't know. So he took
08:07 it at TLC. So he took it off Jeff Hardy. I remember AJ having the belt. Did Jeff Hardy
08:15 have the belt? Jeff Hardy also had the belt. I've just got a mental image in my head of
08:18 Jeff Hardy with the IC belt. Jeff Hardy. Did brother Nero have it? Because he was definitely
08:23 in that ladder match. It would be hilarious if Sami Zayn was all three of my strikes.
08:29 There's Braun Strowman as part of this as well. Right, ok. Forget that. Over here. Jeff
08:37 Hardy. You've nailed it. Who took it off AJ Styles way too early. Ding. Ding. Hey, don't
08:45 you take my ding from me. I'll take it. You've taken everything from me, Tempest. I've taken
08:49 nothing from you. You've got no strikes. That's right. All business. Total box office. AJ?
08:57 Ding. Right, AJ's got it. AJ Styles? Who won it off AJ Styles? Ding. Who won it off vacant?
09:04 He won the vacant belt, which means it would have been Sami Zayn. Sami Zayn. They love
09:09 doing this. The classic double intercontinental title storyline. So it was Sami Zayn. AJ Styles
09:16 beat Daniel Bryan in the finals of that tournament. This wasn't the piss story, was it? No, that
09:21 was Sheamus and Jeff Hardy. I love the idea that AJ Styles can piss on Daniel Bryan. Are
09:27 you pissing on me? Lots of asparagus in that piss. Sami Zayn came back and claimed he was
09:35 the real intercontinental champion. So they did that ladder match. That was the reason
09:39 they did that ladder match. So it was vacated from Sami Zayn. Did Braun Strowman win the
09:46 icy title? What year the f*** are we in now? 2020? We're in 2020. Because now I haven't
09:53 even got the excuse of the Thunderdome anymore. This was in front of people. Who did Sami
09:56 Zayn win it off? Braun Strowman. Braun Strowman. Braun. Braun. Ding. Yes! I know more about
10:06 the intercontinental championship than I thought. Oh my god, it's just suddenly the most tense
10:09 thing in the world because when you have three strikes you feel like you have all the time
10:13 in the world. You could take on anybody. You feel invincible. You feel bulletproof with
10:19 three strikes. But with one strike, you don't feel those things. What year are we in now?
10:24 Who did he beat? Did he beat Sami? I have two names in my head. They're both former
10:28 NXT champions. I just can't remember the order. I know the people, I just don't know the order.
10:34 And he won it off with Sami Zayn. That is your third strike. Of all three of my strikes
10:41 was Sami Zayn. Damn you, Sami Zayn. It is the time where I need to ask you to get the
10:53 f*** out. That's fair. That's fair. I don't mind that. I do not mind that at all. Do you
10:59 know what? I've had a right good day. I've really, I think I've shown myself to be competent
11:04 at a base level and I appreciate myself for that. And if this is the end of my time in
11:09 this chair, I feel like Andy Datson couldn't have done better. And that's really all I'm
11:15 asking for. Assuredly. There you are. You see, that's really all I, that was my two
11:19 goals was to not strike out immediately and to beat Andy Datson's potential. So, let's
11:25 say Braun Strowman won it off Finn Balor. Dan, that is your third strike. Yeah, yeah.
11:32 Was it Shinsuke? It was Shinsuke. Oh, was Shinsuke went off Finn Balor? Oh no, it actually
11:41 does hurt more than I thought it would. Okay, I'm going to sit here for a while so that
11:45 everyone else sweats and thinks I'm doing really well. That's everybody's thought process
11:49 when they go out. But unfortunately, Dan, I'll need you to remove your mic. No, don't
11:53 say it. Don't say it. Get off now. You said the word. I don't want to. Please, please
12:03 let me stay a bit longer. It's so pretty and warm in here and it's raining outside. I don't
12:08 want to go. I did so well, didn't I? Because Finn Balor won it off. I don't know. Thanks
12:18 so much for your time. I'd like to thank my mum and dad. I'd like to thank the academy.
12:22 I'd like to thank Sami Zayn. When did they change the design of the belt
12:35 and who held the belt when they changed the design? Did he beat Cesaro or did he beat
12:39 Nakamura? He beat one of those lads. My mental image says that Braun has the new design of
12:45 the belt, the current one. Because I remember he did that thing. He did the Dean Ambrose
12:49 where he held the belt for ages and never defended it. Shinsuke Nakamura again. No strikes.
12:55 I'm going to assume that this is the ring where the belt changed. It must have been
12:59 sometime around here. I do believe it was. Was it? I think so. Okay, cool. Who the shivering
13:05 dick did Shinsuke Nakamura beat to win the title in 2019? In 2018, we had Monday Night
13:13 Rollins and he was the IC champ for a while. Somewhere in 2018 Seth Rollins had the belt.
13:17 Let's figure it out from WrestleMania. WrestleMania 35, that's Bobby versus Finn. Bobby's champ,
13:24 Finn beats him as the demon super quick because the show was already five f***ing hours long.
13:31 If we're still in 2019, okay. I remember at Mania 34, which was 2018, it was Rollins,
13:39 Miz, Balor was the opener and that was for the IC belt.
13:41 It's on Finn, Nakamura's heel, Nakamura can beat Finn. That makes sense to me. Naka
13:47 then holds it all of 2019 and never defends the f***. Braun beats him in a kind of Christmas
13:52 thing. That's WWE, isn't it? That sounds like WWE to me. Finn Balor. Yeah. Bobby Lashley.
14:03 And they did a thing with Lio Rush. Finn Balor again. Ding. Bobby Lashley again. Ding.
14:07 So I'm on Shinsuke as the current belt holder. Yeah. Bobby Lashley. That is your first strike.
14:13 I'll go on the same train of thought. Finn Balor. Ding. Oh, I was so close. If Finn won
14:18 the belt at some point, did he win that match at Mania 35 for the belt? Was that where he
14:24 won it? If so, I'm going to say Bobby Lashley again. Was this Lio Rush era with look at
14:29 his ass era or was that earlier? I don't know. I don't know, man. Still got a strike to burn.
14:34 I got a strike to burn. I have no other names from this time period. Swifferoon early 2019,
14:41 late 2018. Let's say it could have been Rollins because I know Rollins held it in 2018. So
14:47 I know we're approaching the Rollins time if it's not now. Seth Rollins. That is your
14:51 second strike. We're not there yet. We are not there yet. I got nothing. Finn Balor again.
15:00 Ding. Oh my God. What happened with WWE? Why are all the stories so convoluted? I couldn't
15:08 agree more. Bobby Lashley again. Ding. Right, right, right. Bobby Lashley makes sense because
15:17 I think Albert has turned face again. Did he? Did he turn face again? Am I making that
15:22 up? Because he did the Shield reunion, but wasn't that after the thing? Beginning of
15:27 2019. Let's cast our minds back to WrestleMania 34. That is when Seth Rollins wins it. And
15:34 he holds it for most of that year. And his face, Bobby's heel, he's doing the, you know,
15:42 this bit. He's got a great ass. And you're going to be right up in it. Seth Rollins.
15:53 That is your first incorrect answer. No. Oh dear. Ambrose. Oh balls. I'm in trouble now.
16:03 Seth takes it at Mania. He drops it to Ziggler because they have that main event, which the
16:10 fans ruined. Thanks fans. Oh, I'm getting confuzzled. Stupid belts. Stupid belts. Wait,
16:18 wait. Dean Ambrose? Ambrose beat Rollins. Seth Rollins then. Now hold on, because Rollins,
16:26 I feel like he won the belt at Mania 34 and I think Miz was the champion. But did he lose
16:31 it somewhere in the middle? Because he had the Ironman match with Dolph Ziggler, which
16:34 once again was a bad match. Thank you crowd. Did Ziggler win it in that reign and Rollins
16:41 win it back? Dolph Ziggler. Dolph Ziggler. So then it would go back to Seth Rollins again.
16:46 Seth Rollins. And then at Mania. Now we're back to Mania 34, I think. So I'm going to
16:50 say the Miz. Do they hot potato it again? I don't think so. The Miz? All right, we're
16:56 at WrestleMania 34. I know where I am. I know where I am. We're at WrestleMania 34. Who
17:01 the **** did he beat? Who did the Miz beat in 20? Who would be a IC title holder in 2018?
17:07 So we're looking at mid card guys. The Miz has got it at WrestleMania 34 and he beat
17:14 obviously Kevin Owens for the title. That is your second ****. No. No. ADA continuation
17:26 rule 113D sir. Sundance. Miz won the belt at Raw 25 off Roman Reigns. All right. Hang
17:34 on a second. It's coming off. Throwing it down. Throwing it down. Oh no, the mic. The
17:46 Miz going into WrestleMania 34 and you people, you people know who it is and you're shouting
17:51 at me and I can't hear you. 2017 is when, what happened at the end of 2017? You got
17:57 TLC, which was when Kurt Angle was in the shield and the shield were feuding with Braun
18:05 and Kane and the Miz. He did hold it once. Is it Roman Reigns? ****ing ding. ****ing ding.
18:13 Miz? And Roman Reigns beat the Miz for that belt. SummerSlam 2017. Who the **** did the
18:18 Miz beat for that belt again? Now I'm lost. I'm at sea gang. I never thought I would hear
18:24 the name Roman Reigns in this game. The quadruple threat. The quadruple threat. What year was
18:37 Raw 25? What year are we in? Is this dolph? He had a thing with Ziggler, but that was,
18:43 I think that was in 2016. Wasn't that like the one good match slash feud that Miz had
18:47 in this and everyone's like, well, Miz was a great IC champ. It's like, well, no, he
18:51 had one good match. This feels like a Dolph Ziggler time. It's a, it's in the past. That
18:57 was when Dolph Ziggler was. Dolph Ziggler again. Dolph Ziggler.
19:05 So here we are again, lads. What does this mean? Congratulations. Pete, you've, uh,
19:11 you've, you've gathered a reputation here of coming second place. My speciality. More
19:16 times than not. Yeah, we haven't. He hasn't just won. You're not just, you didn't make
19:21 me stick around to hand it over. Didn't do that. Did we tie or did I win? We better tie
19:28 tempest because you're humiliating me when I came dressed for it. Then I, Oh, I'm going
19:33 to unmask you in public. My boy. Don't you do this to me? Don't know. No, it's a tie,
19:39 isn't it? What are we doing? What's happening? You two have ties. No way. Come on, Pete.
19:45 No. Why? The two people in the office who have no wrestling, it seems. God. That is
19:53 your third strike. Bollocks. I need you to take off your mic. Yeah. Get the fuck out.
20:02 That's all right. Do I still have the case? You can take your vest and you can get the
20:06 fuck out. Do I have to leave the case behind? I dressed up for this. You have to tell me
20:11 it's a trap. But if you don't tell me, do I have this or not? I sit here having set
20:15 a precedent of a buzz in final answer to determine the winner of survival series. Yeah, that's
20:22 the precedent we're sticking to right? Tempest. It is Adam. No. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Come on.
20:28 Come on. So I need you both. Whoever could buzz in with their name fastest to tell me
20:35 who was the Intercontinental Champion when I started watching wrestling? No. Who's even
20:42 Icy Champ around that time? So he started watching wrestling in 2009? No, you started
20:49 watching wrestling in 2009. He started watching wrestling in 2008. Who would have even been
20:53 around that time? I don't know. What if we both get it wrong, Tempest? Then we go again.
20:59 Pete. Pete. Santino Morella. That is an incorrect answer. Adam. Adam. Dolph Ziggler. That is
21:07 an incorrect answer. We go again. That was the right answer. The correct answer was Jeff
21:14 Hardy. Okay. All right. Yeah, sure. Fine. Yeah. Why not? Round two. Fight. Round two
21:20 of our sudden death over time. I hate this. Buzz in with your name. Who was the last Intercontinental
21:28 Champion when the belt was retired? Kane. That is an incorrect answer. I don't know.
21:38 I don't know. I don't even know what era you're talking about. I could guess a name, but I
21:43 don't know what year we're in. William Regal. That is an incorrect answer. I don't know.
21:48 Can you give me the specifics of this? When was this? Because if this was in 2002, as
21:53 I think it is, it was Kane. It wasn't Kane. The history books do not list it as being
21:59 Kane. Adam. Can I buzz in? We've set a precedent that you can't answer with guesses here. Unbelievable
22:08 that it was Triple H. Unbelievable that that's how the history books remember it. Oh no,
22:13 it was Kane. Round three. Fight. Round three. Buzz in with your name. Who was the second
22:23 ever Intercontinental Champion? Adam. Pedro Morales. That is an incorrect answer. Oh no!
22:37 I don't know. I don't know who it was. Who did you say? Pedro Morales. I did say Pedro
22:48 Morales. Pete! Tito Santana. That is an incorrect answer. What is this sudden death? I want
22:59 this to be over Pete. Let me win Adam! No! Hundred pounds on the line. Round four. Fight.
23:09 Round four. Sudden death. Sudden death. Not so sudden death. Buzz in with your names.
23:15 Name me the shortest reigning Intercontinental Champion. Pete! Pete? I guess Pete takes that
23:26 because I said Pete. I did hear Pete first. Dolph Ziggler. That is an incorrect answer.
23:36 Other Pete? Pete. Well I know one person who's held it for one day. For sure I know someone
23:41 who's held it for one day. Less than 24 hours in fact. But I reckon it's probably a win
23:47 it and then the same, literally the same night it's on someone else. So I don't, I'm going
23:54 to show my working because he can't buzz in. So I know Zack Ryder held it for one day.
23:58 He sure did. He is my kind of bank guy but I'm pretty sure, surely someone has held the
24:04 icy title. Won it on like Raw and then someone else has won it immediately afterwards. Or
24:11 it could be Triple H again because he held it and it was then gone. Zack Ryder. That
24:16 is an incorrect answer. Oh my god. Round five. Fight. Round five. Sudden death overtime.
24:26 Who was the first Intercontinental Champion after the belt was reintroduced? Adam. After.
24:35 As in who held it to introduce it or who beat the person who introduced it? Who was the
24:40 first new Intercontinental Champion? Oh when it was brought back. Upon the belt's reintroduction.
24:48 I've buzzed in. You have? Which means I have to do it. That's correct. It was in 2005.
24:56 I know one person so it's between one of two people. I'm not going to say which ones. Shelton
25:02 Benjamin. That is an incorrect answer. Now you'll be glad to know Adam just to change
25:08 things up. I don't know this one. That's fine by me Pete. Pete. Buzz in. Make that official.
25:14 Carlito. That is an incorrect answer. Sure. It was also not 2005. It was 2003. Round six.
25:23 Fight. Round six. Here we go. Sudden death. Buzz in with your name. Who is the oldest
25:31 Intercontinental Champion? Adam Ric Flair. And still me. All business. All business Pete.
25:40 I'm all business. Better luck next time. You'll never have this. You will never have this.
25:48 See you later. Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo. First try. Every Elimination
25:58 Chamber winner in reverse chronological order. Yeah I'm knackered here. I'm boned. Okay. I
26:04 can do this. I revised for this. I thought this might be it. Okay. I can at least do
26:11 four. I thought it might but I didn't revise. I thought it might.
