#1 Honky Tonk Man (454 days)
Trending
The Honky Tonk Man, whose gimmick was based around being an Elvis impersonator, was the IC Champion for well over a year back in 1987 and 1988. He managed to work his way out of a number of tricky situations with fans clamouring to see somebody take the belt off of him.
It was a really strong heel run, but it just wasn't anticipated that HTM would be the guy that was given the ball to run with.
The run came to a screeching halt when The Ultimate Warrior returned at SummerSlam 1988 and captured the Intercontinental Championship in what was essentially a squash match. The entire reign pretty much signifies that anything is possible in the WWE, and Honky Tonk Man should count himself lucky that he was given such an incredible opportunity.
