Roster
 3-WWF Championship match against Sting

## Losing streak(1986-1987)

Honky Tonk Man debuted at SNME May 1986 answering Intercontinental champion Ricky Steamboat’s open challenge but lost. At SNME June, he was defeated by Jim Duggan and at Summerslam he lost an IC championship contendership match to Koko B.Ware in a triple threat that also involved Billy Jack Haynes.

After Summerslam, he had his first feud as he tried to do a concert when he was attacked by Paul Orndorff, Andre The Giant and Kamala, HTM challenged Orndorff to a match where if he won, he would join Heenan Family and become the leader of it, at SNME September Orndorff defeated HTM.

At Survivor Series, he teamed up with Brutus Beefcake, Billy Jack Haynes and Bam Bam Bigelow losing to the team of Tito Santana, Rick Martel, Koko B.Ware and Jim Duggan.

Leading up to Wrestlemania 3, HTM admitted that his first year wasn’t the best for him but 1987 will be way better as he challenged Koko B.Ware to a match, he was jealous of the big fan support that Koko was getting when he debuted after HTM did. At Wrestlemania 3, the losing streak continued as Koko defeated him.

## Best of seven and glorified jobber(1987-1990)

At SNME June 1987, HTM announced a “lifechanging move” a best of seven where if he can win more than lose, he will get a WWF title shot, but if he loses more than he wins, he will leave WWF, Roddy Piper came out as his first challenger and after Rick Rude interfered, HTM rolled Piper up getting his first WWF win, his losing streak ended at 1-18.

On his second match, he was defeated by Jake Roberts, on the third he was defeated by Sting. At Superstars 100, he announced his challenger as The Blue Blazer, a seemingly local talent who had no chances of winning but Blazer rolled him up and shockingly got the win, he got a rematch at Superstars 101 this time not underestimating Blazer and winning against him, in his 6th match he defeated Barry Horowitz and finally for his final match at Summerslam, he picked an injured Koko B.Ware who lost. Honky Tonk Man lost against Sting at SNME September for the WWF Championship.

At Superstars 113, HTM revealed himself as the invisible man that had been tormenting Bret Hart since 1985, he challenged him to an Intercontinental Championship match and it would be an I quit, Bret destroyed HTM and he reveals that he was paid to say he was the invisible man as he was promised an IC title shot if he did, Bret defeated him.

At Superstars 121, a now signed Blue Blazer defeated HTM and thanked him because it was him who brought here, Blazer offers to mentor HTM even though HTM is older by 13 years, he feels insulted by this and breaks a guitar on Blazer’s back. He tries to say that 1988 will be his year and starts with an open challenge at Royal Rumble 1988 which is answered by the debuting Bad News Brown who squashes him. At Wrestlemania 4, Blazer defeated HTM.

HTM started picking up a bit more wins as he entered Money in the Bank which was 1988’s Match of the Year but he lost. At King of the Ring he got an IC Championship match against Bret Hart but was defeated yet again. At Summerslam he challenged anyone to a G1 qualifying match as he wanted to continue the year of HTM, Roddy Piper returned and squashed him, at SNME September HTM helped Greg Valentine defeat Dino Bravo forming a team with him

## Rhythms and Blues(1988-1991)

Honky Tonk Man and Greg Valentine only won 1 tag team match in the 2 years they were together, his last match was at Superstars 258 losing to Legion of Doom, after Wrestlemania 7 HTM was released

## Post retirement appearances(1994)

Honky Tonk Man made a surprise appearance in a 24/7 Championship segment at Wrestlemania 10 as 24/7 champion Koko B.Ware was walking backstage when a guitar is clocked on his back as HTM pins Koko to win the title, right after Nick attacks him and takes away the title.
