The Honky Tonk Man was hated by almost everyone, but respected by them also. But, the idea of an Elvis impersonating gimmick was enough to make The King himself rollover in his Graceland cemetery. Nevertheless, The Honky Tonk Man was destined to make this thing work, and while he had plenty of doubters, he let his work do the talking for him.
The Honky Tonk Man not only worked out just fine but would go on to become arguably the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all-time, holding the title an incredible 454 days, with just one run as the champion.

About the author
J. Carpenter
Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
