Longest reigning Intercontinental Champion ever vs. Most reigns as Intercontinental Champion ever.
R-Truth wanted to 'kill' former WWE writer. More details HERE
The match immediately writes itself. Of course, Honky is now retired, but there were a few occasions that they may have crossed paths. As a heel during his Intercontinental Championship reign, The Honky Tonk Man made a big impression on the WWE Universe:
"My whole approach to the character was very simplistic. I had little key terms and pieces of verbiage that I knew would touch people, that I knew would hit the spot and make them explode. When I had the Intercontinental belt, I would go on TV and say, ‘Here I am, Mean Gene. I still have it, I still have the belt. I can’t be beat; no one can beat me. I’m the greatest of all-time!" Honky Tonk Man said. (h/t Whatculture)

A face Chris Jericho facing the hated guitar-playing Elvis impersonator to find out who really is the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all-time? Yes, we would have loved to have seen it.
