Wayne Farris has often referred to himself as the "Greatest Intercontinental Champion ever". But just how long did he have the belt?

I’m shocked a couple of you didn’t write down the speech from memory and count the words

Remembering Santino’s Honk-a-Meter came in real handy here.

So far the only thing I knew is that Hogan left WWF and was in WCW for the late 90s, that was the only question I had any semblance of a reference point for.

#5 - THE HONKY TONK MAN'S ONLY I-C TITLE REIGN



At WrestleMania III, Ricky Steamboat won the I-C title from Randy Savage. But when Steamboat dropped the strap less than three months later, it began the longest consecutive reign of the I-C title in WWF/WWE history. The Honky Tonk Man won it in June of 1987, and held onto it until the first SummerSlam in 1988.

The answer here is 454 days.

Randy Savage wrestled 4 matches on March 27th, 1988. He must have put in a lot of time in the ring. Or did he?

#6 - RANDY SAVAGE'S 4 MATCHES AT WRESTLEMANIA IV



The WWF title was vacated in 1988, and put up in a 14-person tournament at WrestleMania. In order, Savage defeated Butch Reed (4:09), Greg Valentine (6:07), the One Man Gang (4:05), and DiBiase (9:27).

The total time was 23 minutes and 48 seconds. The answer here is 1,428 seconds.

Added a year to HTM's reign

For some reason when answering I thought Warrior won at SS 89.

Here are the standings after Question 6:

True North - 125.5
LKJ - 119
Black Aces 518 - 104
teejayC - 101.5
DWetzel - 100
.isolated - 94

Mr. Watson - 54
Franchise5 - 45
1urker - 44
PokerCrazy94 - 40
SuperUberBob - 34
that_pope - 31
JMurder3 - 26

One of these just celebrated a milestone show. The other turned 25 a year ago. But what is the right answer?

#7 - TOTAL NUMBER OF RAW & SMACKDOWN EPISODES





RAW will turn 26 next month, while SmackDown Live aired its 1,000th episode back in October. If you knew those two facts, you could make a pretty educated guess here.

As of the date I posted the questions, there had been 1,333 separate episodes of RAW, and 1,008 of SmackDown. The answer here is 2,341 episodes.

Yes, my strategy of adding +1 to round numbers worked AWESOMELY WELL! Saved me a 4 way tie.

fun game, add me to the list of did better than I would've expected

I know the 3-hour shows can feel like forever, but even with that, SuperUberBob's guess seems a little extreme.

Next month's PPV will emanate from Chase Field in Phoenix. But just how long did the first 31 RR matches take?

#8 - THE FIRST 31 ROYAL RUMBLE MATCHES



The Royal Rumble match is the brainchild of Pat Patterson, and over 30 years later, it's still going strong. Whether it's Ric Flair's win in 1992, Rey Mysterio going wire-to-wire in 2006, or Kofi Kingston's annual avoiding of elimination, we all have a favorite.

As near as I can tell, the first 31 matches took 29:34:25, or 1,774 minutes and 25 seconds. The answer here is 106,465 seconds.

666 (PokerCrazy94)

150,000 (riddle777)
195,301 (that_pope)
500,000 (eleanor60)
1,000,000 (SuperUberBob)

This one and the attendance one were the questions I thought I could go way wrong on.

EDIT: Meh, not bad.

Just two more questions to reveal!

Any chance I finish above the bottom 3?

Here are the standings after Question 8:

True North - 164
LKJ - 151
Black Aces - 138.5
teejayC - 138.5
.isolated - 126.5
OnTheSticks - 126
DWetzel - 119

Booker Wolfbox - 70.5
1urker - 64.5
that_pope - 54
PokerCrazy94 - 45
JMurder3 - 40
SuperUberBob - 36

True North and LKJ seem to have wrapped up podium spots, but still anyone's game for the bronzo.

Mr. Backlund lasted over an hour in the 1993 Royal Rumble at age 43. And he won the title for the second time at the 1994 Survivor Series. But when did he win his first?

well it wasn't the year I thought it was when I submitted...
