#9 Honky Tonk Man
Remember how we said everything old is new again? Well, in the 1980s Elvis mania was at an all-time high. The baby boomer generation never quite got over their fixation with the southern crooner who ripped off black music, even after Elvis Presley's death -- which many claimed was a hoax, and that the 'king' of Rock and Roll was alive and well.

Out of this environment came the Honky Tonk Man. Wayne Ferris was a journeyman performer, well respected in the southern promotions. Vince McMahon noted Ferris's resemblance to Elvis, and the rest was history.
Arguably one of the most hated heels of the 1980s, Honky Tonk Man insisted that the fans loved him even as he received wall to wall boos. Here he is facing Ricky Steamboat for the IC title.
