The Honky Tonk man began as a goofy gimmick that, had you presented this guy to me as a great superstar, I would have thought that you were joking with me. The fact is that The Honky Tonk Man is one of the most underrated men in wrestling history simply for his gimmick. He was never world title worthy, but he had the longest reign ever with the Intercontinental Championship.
Can anyone name the first Triple Crown Champion in WWE history? If you didn't say Pedro Morales, then you are incorrect.

"Ravishing" Rick Rude is one of those guys that you can see and realize that he oozes charisma. He wouldn't grow into his own until the early 1990s, but Rude was still a cocky and arrogant heel that anyone could hate. He made the women in the crowd swoon and get angry at him, which probably made them swoon even more. At WrestleMania V, Rude became Intercontinental Champion by defeating The Ultimate Warrior.
