...619.

That's the combined number of days the late, great Pedro Morales held WWE's Intercontinental Title across two reigns. The Puerto Rican icon also leaves a legacy behind as the first ever Triple Crown Champion in company history, and he'll be sorely missed.

In between paying tribute to Pedro on his podcast, Bruce Prichard recalled an amazing Bobby Heenan rib story from back in the 80s. At the time, Morales' career was winding down, but the 'Brain' found a way to get some last-minute teasing in. He'd stop Pedro from being able to pee on airplanes.

Bobby found a way to lock the plane's toilet from the outside, and he had bags of fun watching Pedro hammer the door and cry out that he was going to p*ss his pants. Heenan would go to the loo himself, lock it, tap Morales on the shoulder to tell him the little boy's room was free then laugh his arse off as Pedro hopped around helpless.
