Guest teke184 Report post Posted October 20, 2002 Actually, there have been King of the Ring events since about 1985, but those were just one-night house show tournaments in New England. The actual KOTR PPV did start in 1993, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Steve J. Rogers Report post Posted October 20, 2002 I do remember Haku using the King gimmick with Bobby Heenan. Actually here is the lineage, well sort of: I think Race won one of the New England house show tournys which led to the "King Harley Race" gimmick. When he was injured either it was passed onto Haku or Haku actually did beat him. Then Hacksaw beat Haku, then Savage beat Hacksaw for the title and started the "Macho King" gimmick which ceased to be when Savage was "retired" at WM VI thanks to the Ultimate Warrior. The "King" gimmick was abandoned alltogether afterwards Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kahran Ramsus Report post Posted October 20, 2002 After Macho King lost to Warrior at Wrestlemania XII, the gimmick was forgotten until 1993, when Heenan introduced Jerry Lawler as the new king (and his replacement on Superstars while he moved up to RAW). For some reason, Lawler never joined Heenan's group of Razor & Flair, and even went at it with Flair during the 1993 Royal Rumble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
