It probably would have been Regal if he never got himself suspended. I believe the storyline was supposed to end in him beating Triple H for the world title. It’s one of wrestling’s biggest “what if?” moments for me. Unfortunately, the King of the Ring victory didn’t really do much for him in the end, and so Austin will forever be the answer imo.

I had to go with Triple H. IIRC he took every opportunity he could to destroy the crown because he thought it was silly.

The best wrestler is Kurt Angle, hands down. It probably would have been Regal if he never got himself suspended.

Austin. If he’d never won it, he’d never have done the Austin 3:16 promo. None of the others on the list had nearly the same impact on the WWE.

I heard this too, would have been such an incredible moment. I kinda took it personally when he got himself suspended lol |

Savage won in 87 but wasn't the king for the year, he became Macho King in 1989 (my favorite king in WWF/E history). But, if we are going with the king of the ring PPV, I would have to go with Owen, it was his big coming out moment and he carried it well, even calling himself the King of Harts because of it. Plus he was in a feud with Bret at the time for the WWF title. So for me the edge goes to him. |

But I’m surprised you voted for Owen and not Randy |

But I’m surprised you voted for Owen and not Randy Randy was definitely my favorite king, but since this was about the King of the Ring, I went with Owen cause I really liked the way they had him as King of Harts for the entire year (he really played up the gimmick at the time) and his feud with Bret at the time. For the Savage one, it really was just a one off match (or tournament) and he never called himself king at the time, did they even televise the tournament? Now, if it were a vote for my favorite king in WWF/E history, no doubt it would be Savage. |

When I think of King of the Ring, I think of Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Owen for me. His King of Harts gimmick was gold.

I would say Booker T. After 5 years in the mid card he finally became a main eventer and had a World title run.

Austin bc it was the boiling point for his career. After that there was a rocket strapped to his back and he was headed to the top.
