WWE Intercontinental Title History
Ted DiBiase was given the North American Title when he was brought into the WWF. But then, Vince McMahon Sr. discovered that there was another North American title in another federation, so DiBiase dropped the belt to Pat Patterson. The WWF came up with this "fictious" tournament and claimed that Pat Patterson had won it. Then the belt was renamed to the Intercontinental title. That's why Pat Patterson was billed as the first ever Intercontinental champion. Technically, Pat Patterson is the first ever IC champion, because the belt was still known as the North American title until Patterson held it, which was later renamed to the IC title. But don't forget that it was Ted DiBiase who brought it in to begin with.
Update - October 20, 2002: WWE No Mercy marked the final defense of the WWE Intercontinental Championship when Triple H defeated Kane to combine the title with the World Heavyweight Championship.
