6. Longest Intercontinental Reign
This record will likely stand for quite some time due to the fading significance of the Intercontinental Championship. Many of the storylines of today’s WWE involve higher tier belts, and the Intercontinental Championship is unfortunately not one of them.
Wrestler Honky Tonk Man holds the longest Intercontinental Championship reign with a total of 454 days wearing the belt around his waist. This run encompassed several storylines in which one wrestler or another stood out of the crowd to challenge him, but Honky Tonk always seemed to withhold the belt. It wasn’t until over a year later that he eventually lost to The Ultimate Warrior, but by that time he’d already accomplished history.
