King of the Ring to return!
One of my favorite WWE PPV events is coming back, but not as a pay-per-view. Instead, the legendary King of the Ring event will take place on a single, three-hour broadcast of Monday Night Raw this Monday, April 21, on USA Network.
I used to say I’d give up a lifelong season pass to the North Padre Island rentals of my choice just to see King of the Ring return. Now, I don’t have to. It will be a load of fun to see who they put the crown on this time. King of the Ring made its reputation on crowning the next big WWE heel star, and launched the WWE careers of such folks as Stone Cold Steve Austin, Bret Hart, Ted DeBiase, Kurt Angle, Edge and Brock Lesnar.
The PPV disappeared for four years, and came back in 2006 as a Smackdown-only event, with Booker T crowned as King Booker. There was no King of the Ring in 2007, but this year’s Raw event will include competitors from Smackdown and ECW as well as Raw.
I can’t wait!
