Despite holding the title a record 9 times, Chris Jericho isn't even in the top 10 for total days holding the Intercontinental Title.

Speaking of the Intercontinental Title, on Thursday, March 29th 2012, Cody Rhodes' run will surpass Pat Patterson's run--the first man to hold the title.

In 5 days, Austin Aries will pass Doug Williams combined number of days holding the X-Division title.

The guy in the above photo (wearing Green Lantern shirt and looking at his watch) has famously done some stupid things as a fan:

showing up at Chris Candido's wake just to meet wrestlers.
timing every match he attends
getting kicked out of a JAPW show for throwing water at wrestlers
buying front row seats for ROH then selling them outside the event in front of ROH management

Georg Hackenschmidt(The first ever NWA World Heavyweight Champion) starred in a movie in 1909 with none other than Harry Houdini titled Houdini Defeats Hackenschmidt. Sadly the film is lost and the nature of their contest is unknown.

Me too, especially when they involve two people like that with a title like that. I would really like to see it for sure.
