1. Honky Tonk Man

Honky Tonk Man had the best music inspired gimmick of all time. His gimmick was inspired by none other than The Legendary Singer ‘Elvis Presley’. He dressed like Elvis and he dances like Elvis. HTK became the longest reigning Intercontinental Champion in the history of WWE.

The Honky Tonk Man did his best work as a heel alongside manager Jimmy Hart. Hart, who been a member of the 1960s rock band The Gentrys, gave HTK’s gimmick even more credibility. To this day, The Honky Tonk Man’s rockabilly theme entitled “Cool, Cocky, and Bad” remains one of the greatest WWE compositions of all time.
