Wow that is very cool. It would have been interesting to have the KOTR win a belt since they would carry it around for a year. Mabel has got to be the worst KOTR winner ever though... I would personally put Billy Gunn, Don Muraco and Ken Shamrock ahead of him as worse KOTR winners. Maybe Shamrock is neck and neck with him but at least Mabel could be take as a legit threat to a top face/world champ (ala feud with Taker)....Gunn and Muraco...not so much. Muraco was awesome....and a main eventer with 2 seperate runs with the champs, Backlund and Hogan...and main evented with Snuka and Steamboat. One of the BEST promo guys in WWF history, and shouldnt even be mentioned, in terms of wrestling accolades and skills, with any of the above mentioned. Steroids ruined him from 88 on...but he had over 10 years of excellence.

If I had t pick the worst King of the Rign winner it would be Billy Gunn. It didn't really do anything for Gunn save a feud with The Rock.

I know Muraco had the feud with Hogan but I could never take him (or anyone else for that matter) as a legit threat to Hogans title. Then he got aligned with Graham and just fizzled out.
