I'm sorry but the first thing I thought of when I saw Intercontinental was Tito Martinez and mid-80's WWF.
 
I do like this lineup a lot and I think that they could do pretty well. I'm very interested in Dennis at 121. He seems to be doing pretty well with the cut and if he can do it and stay strong he should do very well at that weight!
 
Dennis went 2-3 and the US also went 2-3 finishing 6th of 11 teams. All 3 US losses were 4 matches to 3.
