The Honky Tonk Man, a WWE Hall of Famer, held the record for most days with the Intercontinental Title until GUNTHER's 666-day reign surpassed it. He is featured in the upcoming "Post Malone & Friends Pack" DLC for WWE 2K24, scheduled for release on June 26. This pack includes Post Malone, Sensational Sherri, Mosh, Thrasher, Honky Tonk Man, Jimmy Hart as a manager, and MyFACTION Superstar Cards.

On June 13, 1987, Honky Tonk Man defeated Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat for the WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship on Superstars. Initially, Butch Reed was to win the title, but Honky was given a longer reign due to Jake Roberts failing drug tests. Hulk Hogan helped secure Honky’s title run after a meeting with Vince McMahon. To retain the title, Honky often got counted out or disqualified against challengers like Steamboat and George "The Animal" Steele.

Honky’s notable feud with "Macho Man" Randy Savage involved interference from Jimmy Hart's stable and Miss Elizabeth, leading to The Mega Powers formation. His rivalry with Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake saw Beefcake vow to cut Honky's ducktail hair. At the 1988 SummerSlam, The Ultimate Warrior replaced Beefcake and pinned Honky in 31 seconds, ending his 454-day reign. This record stood until September 2023 when GUNTHER surpassed it.
