* On December 8, 1980, Morales defeated arrogant strongman Ken Patera to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship at New York City's Madison Square Garden, to become the WWF's first Triple Crown winner -- holder of the World Heavyweight, Tag Team and Intercontinental championships. A few blocks away, at possibly around the same time the winning pinfall was scored, a man named Mark Chapman fired a gun, and its bullets struck their intended target: Music/JohnLennon. The former [[Music/TheBeatles Beatle]] was critically wounded and rushed to a nearby hospital but was dead on arrival. Morales' unique honor, which held for nearly 20 years, is forever tied to the date of Lennon's death.
