A WWE Hall of Famer has announced that he has signed a new Legends Deal with the company.
The Honky Tonk Man is one of the promotion’s most memorable stars. With his distinctive look modelled on Elvis Presley and questionable tactics in the ring, fans loved to boo the man who went on to hold the Intercontinental Championship for longer than anyone – at least until Gunther came along and destroyed his 454-day record with his own 666-day reign from 2022-2024.
Honky Tonk Man was inducted into the Hall of Fame back in 2019, and has held Legends Contracts with the company going even further back. Now, the star has announced that he has signed his third consecutive Legends deal, something he says will ensure the character and intellectual property “live on forever.”
“This Legends Deal is a reflection of my time and impact in WWE during the era it was becoming a global phenomenon. The relationship with WWE has been mutually beneficial and I am honored by their continued commitment to ensure the Honky Tonk Man character and intellectual property will live on forever.”
The statement from the star’s management team can be read below:
“Honky Tonk Man has officially re-signed a multi-year Legends Deal with WWE, marking his third consecutive contract and continuing a remarkable 15-year nostalgia partnership with the company.
“The Honky Tonk Man electrified the ring with unforgettable performances, shaking, rattling, and rolling his way to an astonishing 454-day reign as Intercontinental Champion—one of the longest in WWE history. With Jimmy Hart in his corner and his iconic guitar always within reach, this devious Superstar shattered the rules to ensure his triumphs. His reign was a spectacle of cunning and charisma, leaving an indelible mark on wrestling history.
“For all his accomplishments and impact on professional wrestling and sports entertainment, the Honky Tonk Man was enshrined into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019. Many argue that he was one of the first true sports entertainers, blending athleticism with showmanship in a way that set the standard for future generations.”
