Hitman Shines - so long Hogan!

The 1993 King Of The Ring saw Bret"The Hitman"Hart once again create WWF history by winning the first ever King of the Ring tournament by defeating Razor Ramon, Mr.Perfect and Bam Bam Bigelow in one night to be crowned the first ever King of the Ring. It was also Hulk Hogan's final PPV match with the WWF as he defended the WWF title against Yokozuna.

THE FIRST EVER KING OF THE RING!!!!

This World Wrestling Entertainment Pay-Per-View features Bret "Hit Man" Hart winning the Final Round of the First Annual KOTR Tournament, crowning him as the first ever KING OF THE RING!!! This was also Hulk Hogan's final WWE Pay-Per-View where fought and lost against the late Yokozuna.

Better than expected

On paper only two great wrestlers in this first King of the ring Mr Perfect Bret Hart. Then it surprised me a better tournament than I expected and strong event with some a good mix of different styled additional matches and a magic night on the mics with the brain JR & macho facing off.

Trivia
Hulk Hogan's final televised appearance in WWE until WWF No Way Out (2002).

Goofs
Commentator Jim Ross states that Irwin R. Schyster had (at that time) held the tag team titles with 3 different partners on 4 different occasions. This is incorrect. As of this event, I.R.S. had held the titles with Ted DiBiase twice, and Barry Windham twice. Hence, I.R.S. held the tag titles with only two different partners.

Quotes
Randy Savage: Everyone's Favorite colors in this building are Yellow and Red, But for me it's the Red, White and Blue.

Alternate versions
The Coliseum Video/Silver Vision release contained two exclusive interviews, both conducted by Terry Taylor:
The Steiner Brothers and the Smoking Gunns talk about their upcoming match against Money Incorporated and the Headshrinkers.
Mr. Perfect puts over Bret "The Hitman" Hart after losing to him in the lone King of the Ring Semi-Final before heading off.
