A Quick Look Back @ WWE King of the Ring

[stevsta]

I will never forget the 98 KOTR

First off, I ordered the PPV without telling my parents, and when they got the bill all i heard was "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS KING OF THE RING FOR FIFTY FUCKING DOLLARS", i lol'd

Mankind vs Taker was epic. Looking back at the match now, it gets even more epic

I still thought wrestling was real when I saw that ppv which made that show 10x more awesome

I think you may be refering to the "Wrestling Classic", won by JYD. I believe it was in 85 or 86. Can't recall if it was a full blown PPV or just closed circuit.

Wrestling Classic, that's right +1 rep. I saw it on PPV, although it may have been available on closed circuit too.

Coolest parts were Dynamite Kid (IIRC) drop kicking Nikolai Volkoff while he was singing the national anthem, than in a rare heel vs heel match Tery Funk tried to outsmart Moondog Spot but "the runt of the litter" gave it back to him and won by countout.

Savage was incredible that night. He was at his peak and arguably the best worker in the business at that point.

Closed circuit I believe. It was on Classics on Demand a month or so back.
