Modified Oct 08, 2016 07:55 GMT

There were many WWE wrestlers who have won the Intercontinental Title

#4 Honkytonk Man

Honkytonk Man held the title for 454 days

The Elvis impersonator was more than just a man who looked like the King, carrying a guitar to the ring that proved to be a weapon on more than one occasion. In 1987, he defeated Ricky Steamboat to claim his first major title in the WWF.

He holds the record for longest Intercontinental Title reign of all time at an amazing 454 days. The character played by Wayne Farris lost the belt to The Ultimate Warrior at the inaugural SummerSlam.
