In years past, the King of the Ring tournament used to be a premiere event for the WWE. The winner of the tourney was usually dubbed by upper management as a future star with the company and after winning the event…would get a huge push. Stars were made from the likes of Owen Hart, Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, Triple H and many others via winning King of the Ring.
