Midcard Champion of the Last 5 years Tournament (Matches 1 to 4)

There was once a point the midcard scene felt rather meaningless. Between title matches feeling random, champions losing constantly, and feuds just feeling thrown together, the midcard scene was pretty pathetic. I feel this has started to change over the last few years and to celebrate the change, lets look at the stars who have helped (and made things worse) to determine the best Midcard Champion of the last 5 years.

In terms of Midcard Champions, I am counting the Intercontinental, United States, and Tag Titles but I still give some attention to King of the Ring, Money in the Bank, and the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. In total there were 47 guys, so I brought it down by subtracting those who only had a single title reign (but allowed current champions to stay in) which brought me to 29. This eliminated Primo, Epico, Evan Bourne, Zack Ryder, Luke Harper, David Hart Smith, Vladimir Kozlov, Roaddog, Billy Gunn, Xavier Woods, Ezekiel Jackson, and Christian (remember only paying attention to 2010 to present time). I took what was left and randomly put this tournament together.

You will only vote on the first 4 matches this time. When we hit the finals, we will have two battle royals for both divisions to give a second chance to any of those who were eliminated
