Everyone's favorite Elvis impersonator, The Honky Tonk Man will be joining the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2019 - but was originally offered in 2010, swiftly rebuffed (stating he had conflicting plans).

Debuting in 1986- Honky Tonk is favorably remembered due to his strong, classic heel work and record setting Intercontinental title run. Honky Tonk Man held the Intercontinental title for 450 consecutive days (an astonishing feat that still hasn't been surpassed).

The Honky Tonk Man has made several controversial appearance on the Pro Wrestling 'shoot interview' circuit, where he mocked WWE on numerous occasions. Honky Tonk never failed to share risque road stories and embarrassing anecdotes, showing zero reverence for the worldwide promotion that put him on the map.

We wouldn't be surprised to see him interact with the often compared, guitar-wielding Elias at this year's upcoming Wrestlemania 35.
