| I see no reason to bring back the King of the Ring. KOTR is a well known financial disappointment. Every year, the buy rates would be one of the lowest of the year. If that wasn't bad enough, it was typically one of the worst PPV's of the year as well. Getting rid of the KOTR was one of the best moves the WWE made. |
And yet it managed to create stars in a manner we all agreed with and respected.
Austin, Triple H, Lesnar... All former King Of The Ring winners, all propelled by that win into the upper echelon's of the WWE roster. Considering how much they've struggled to make new stars since scrapping the PPV, I'd say it was worth it.
