It came as a shock to myself and others the following year when the WWE did away with this being a pay per view, and didn’t even bring the concept back for several years. When they finally did, it was a one-night rushed show on Monday Night Raw.
The winners of those one-night tournaments were
2006 Booker T
2008 William Regal
2010 Sheamus
2015 Wade Barrett
We hope you enjoyed this trip down King of the Ring Memory LaneThere is no doubt, becoming the King of the Ring helped launch the careers of Edge, Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, Owen Hart, Steve Austin and HHH. While, not so much for guys like Billy Gunn, Mabel and Ken Shamrock.
It gave us several matches that will forever stand the test of time, such as Owen Hart vs 123 Kid (94), Mankind vs Undertaker (98), Angle vs Shane McMahon (01) and several more.
Bottom line is, BRING IT BACK!!!
