@nuktubian It was part of the psychology of his character. We was the anti-Rocky. Not exceptionally skilled, not much of a body, he was also annoying as hell. So he lucks into the title and now you really want to see him get pounded to a pulp. They play that to sold out crowds for a over a year, escaping time and time again. Then the payoff when Warrior stomped him in 30 seconds to an incredible pop.
@rkirger He really was. Of course so-called smarks will say: “He is so boringest cuz he cant do dropkick like Hardy.” But we know nobody gives a damn about that except smarks that expect matches to resemble a boss fight on the PS/2. The great draws of all time used punches and kicks and got bigger reactions than a thousand fake Sentons off the ISS.
@MikeMulligan567 Yeah Honky Tonk Man was “so sucky” that he was the company’s second best draw for over a year and a half and sold out houses everywhere WITHOUT Hogan on the card.
Actually it was Steamboat that bitched about dropping the title. Wrestlers held titles longer back then to give the title credibility. Also Honky drew heat and made money which is why McMahon does anything.
@mrkoolnerd If memory serves, this match was on Saturday morning Superstars, which was rare back then when all the matches were Stars and Jobbers. Never a match of this magnitude on Saturday morning.

@marshallsimon yeah, this was at the old War Memorial Auditorium. It finally came
down this year. Was sad when they closed her up and to knock th aud down they had to slice the building like a cake.
And Hogan was wearing out his welcome in 1987? LOL. The Hogan/Andre rematch in 88 did a 15.2 rating (highest rating ever in pro wrestling history). Come on man. Hogan was wearing out his welcome in 92 when he took his hiatus, but in the 80′s he was the biggest thing out there by a huge margin, especially 85-90. If you think Steamboat was a threat to Hogan at that point, I have some Enron stock you might be interested in.
None of that is factual. First off, no one stole Hogan/Andre’s thunder at WM 3. Secondly, why would Hogan be insecure of Steamboat? Savage was getting noticeable cheers at WM 3 as a heel after crushing Steamboat’s throat. Why would Hogan fear Steamboat but promote Savage when Randy was a bigger star? None of that makes sense. Fact is, Steamboat lost the belt because he wanted time off. Period. No other explanation is necessary because Steamboat himself confirmed it. Those are the facts.
They didn’t build Ricky up and put the belt on him just to have him lose it that quick. Steamboat lost the belt because he asked for time off due to the birth of his son and it pissed Vince off because Ricky was in the midst of a major push. He would’ve been champ for a long time and wouldn’t have been NWA champ had Vince not gotten mad.
I have this match on DVD, The History Of The Intercontinentail Championship. The old WWF Superstars Of Wrestling is Blurred out. I guess it’s a copyright to the old WWF.
honky is ok,never been a fan,but he was a good heel,but i thought steamboat shdve at least had a good run as IC champ,than have him beat complete jobbers on TV.
Steamboat was an all time great – but was never gonna sell tickets as IC champ fighting Hercules, Butch Reed etc… After Savage fued – Steamboat didn’t really have anywhere to go . Him losing title was right move
