The #1 Contender for the Intercontinental Championship is ... Perez Hilton???

Thursday September 18, 2008
With Santino Marella taking aim at the Honky Tonk Man's record for the longest Intercontinental Championship title reign, a new contender has emerged on the scene. That contender is celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.

The problems between these two men started when Santino made fun of Perez on his wwe.com show Santino's Casa. In retaliation, Perez challenged Santino to a duel. Will this cyberspace battle leave the Internet and enter a WWE ring?

Santino has a history of angering C-list Hollywood celebrities and then facing their wrath in the ring. A few months ago, after getting into several verbal and physical incidents with Jimmy Kimmel's Cousin Sal, the two men fought in the ring. Cousin Sal got his hands raised in victory that night. Now that Santino is a champion, if that happens again, Perez Hilton would walk out of the match as your new Intercontinental Champion.
