Chris Jericho holds the record for most Intercontinental Championship reigns with 9 title wins. Edge and Eddie Guerrero have had multiple reigns but none match Jericho's record.

Crash Holly held the WWE Hardcore Championship 7 times, more than any other superstar. His reigns were characterized by the "24/7 rule" where the title could be defended anytime, anywhere, leading to chaotic matches and frequent title changes that he exploited to accumulate multiple reigns.

Kane made his in-ring debut at Survivor Series 1997, interfering in the Hell in a Cell match between Shawn Michaels and Undertaker. He was introduced as Undertaker's younger brother, supposedly burned and scarred from childhood, seeking revenge.

The question refers to the last King of the Ring tournament before it was discontinued in 2002 (later revived in 2015). Brock Lesnar won the 2002 King of the Ring, defeating Rob Van Dam in the final, which launched his main event push leading to his WWE Championship win that same year.

Kane won his first WWE InterContinental Championship by defeating Triple H on the June 28, 2001 episode of SmackDown. This was during Kane's face run after the Invasion angle. He did not beat The Rock, Undertaker, or Mankind for his first IC title reign.

Davey Boy Smith (The British Bulldog) defeated Shawn Michaels to become the first WWE European Champion on February 26, 1997, in Berlin, Germany. Dynamite Kid was his tag team partner but never held this title. Shawn Michaels and Eddie Guerrero won the title later.

The New York Yankees have appeared in the most World Series (40 times as of 2016). Their long history of success and the team's longevity in baseball makes this record possible.

Babe Ruth, the legendary New York Yankees player from the 1920s, was famously called the 'Sultan of Swat' for his incredible home-hitting prowess. He hit 714 home runs in his career and revolutionized the game. Frank Thomas, Barry Bonds, and Kevin Mitchell came later and are not associated with this nickname.

Bill Mosienko of the Chicago Blackhawks scored three goals in 21 seconds against the New York Rangers on March 23, 1952. This remains one of the fastest hat tricks in NHL history and is a legendary record in professional hockey.

Brock Lesnar became the youngest WWE Champion at age 25 in 2002, breaking the previous record. Randy Orton later surpassed this by winning the title at age 24 in 2004. Triple H, Ric Flair, and Booker T won their titles at older ages.
