The match for the Intercontinental Championship has received positive reviews, but the end of the WWF World Heavyweight Championship match, which featured Hulk Hogan in his last PPV appearance in WWF until 2002, has been criticized. The event was attended by 6,500 fans — the lowest attendance of any King of the Ring event. Ppv buyrate, however, was the highest of any King of the Ring event until 1999. The event has been released on VHS in North America and on VHS and DVD in the UK.

At WrestleMania IX, Bret Hart dropped the WWF World Heavyweight Championship to Yokozuna. At the end of the match, Mr. Fuji, Yokozuna's manager, threw salt into Hart's eyes, allowing Yokozuna to win the match. [10] After the game, Hulk Hogan came to the ring to help Hart. Fuji challenged Hogan to a match for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship, which took place immediately. Fuji tried to throw salt into Hogan's eyes, but Hogan moved and the salt hit Yokozuna instead. Hogan quickly defeated him to become the new WWF heavyweight champion. [11] Due to a real-life arrangement with WWF owner Vince McMahon, Hogan was supposed to lose the title to Bret Hart, but he changed his mind and refused to lose to Hart. He formed a compromise that allowed him to face Yokozuna in a rematch at king of the ring in 1993. [12] He did not want to be clamped cleanly, so he insisted on an act in which he would lose his belt due to outside interference. [13] As a result of Hart's controversial loss, Jack Granted Tunney, who played on-screen the role of WWF president, Hart entry into the king of the ring tournament, without requiring him to win a qualifying match.

The event also featured an eight-man match that pitted the fan favorite team of ( and ) and The Smoking Gunns ( and Bart Gunn) against the rogue team of Money Inc. (Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) and ( and Fatu). The Steiners and The Headshrinkers had met each other at WrestleMania in a match won by the Steiners. [16] The Steiners then went on to feud with Money Inc., the WWF tag team champion. The Gunns made his WWF debut in the spring of 1993 and faced the Headshrinkers in a series of matches. [14] The match was not a standard tag team match so the championship was not on the line.

Yokozuna performed a bear hug on Hogan and tried to pin him after performing a stomach to stomach suplex. Hogan kicked Yokozuna in the face three times and knocked him to the mat.

As Hogan prepared to attempt to the body slam Yokozuna, manager Harvey Wippleman, disguised as a planted photographer,[21] jumped up at the edge of the ring. His camera exploded in Hogan's face, allowing Yokozuna to knock hogan down and perform a leg drip. Yokozuna pinned Hogan to regain the WWF World Heavyweight Championship and performed a Banzai drop on Hogan after the game.

Two wrestlers dressed as the Doink the clown, with whom Crush had feuded, came to the ring to distract Crush. Michaels performed a superkick, his signature move, and pinned Crush to retain the championship. [19] Tournament final Tonight's final match was between Bret Hart and Bam Bam Bigelow to determine the winner of the tournament. Bigelow used his strength advantage to control the start of the match. He threw hart out of the ring and focused on hurting Hart's back. Hart escaped from a bear hug and pushed Bigelow into the steel rail at ringside. Bigelow responded by pushing Harts back into the ring post. Luna Vachon, Bigelow's valet, beat Hart with a chair, which allowed Bigelow to pin Hart and declared the winner. The referee Earl Hebner, however, came to the ring and explained to Joey Marella, the referee of the match, what had happened. The match was ordered to continue, and Bigelow continued to attack Hart's back. While Bigelow was outside the ring, Hart performed a flying crossbody by jumping over the top rope and landing at Bigelow. He tried to perform Sharpshooter but couldn't. When Bigelow ran into Hart in the corner of the ring, Hart moved out of the way. He climbed on Bigelow's shoulders and turned Bigelow forward to fasten him with a victory roll. [19] A coronation ceremony took place, in which Hart was proclaimed king of the Ring. Jerry Lawler, however, interrupted the ceremony and claimed to be the only king of wwf. He had used the nickname The King since he defeated Jackie Fargo for the AWA Southern Heavyweight Championship in 1974 and did not want to share the title. [23] Lawler attacked Hart and struck him with the scepter and the throne used for the ceremony. When PPV went into the air, Hart was lying on the floor, unable fight back. [20] [25] Reception Reviews for the event have been mostly positive. Writing for Online Onslaught, columnist Adam Gutschmidt stated that the event is the best King of the Ring show to watch. He called all three of Bret Hart's matches outstanding but was not as impressed with any of the other matches on the card. He felt that the eight-man match was not for the real purpose, the match between Luger and Tatanka was poorly planned and executed, and that the WWF world championship was the worst on the card. [19] Also writing for Online Onslaught, Rick Scaia also enjoyed Bret Hart's matches. He thought the match between Tatanka and Luger was a good booking decision and that the wrestlers performed well in the match. He also enjoyed the endings to the WWF World Heavyweight Championship match and intercontinental championship match. [26] The review from The Other Arena also paid tribute to Bret Hart's matches, as well as the Intercontinental Championship match. The other matches were not rated as high, although only the WWF World Heavyweight Championship match was said to be a bad match. [27] Attendance for the event was 6,500 fans, who paid a total of $80,000 in recognition. This is the lowest audience figure for a King of the Ring contest. The following year's attendance was almost double as many, with 12,000 fans taking part in the 1994 King of the Ring. The PPV buyrate was 1.1, which was the highest buyrate in King of the Ring history until the 1999 event. [28] The event was released on VHS in North America by coliseum video on August 11, 1993. [29] It has also been released on VHS in PAL format in the UK. [30] Packaged together with King of the Ring in 1994, it was released on DVD in the UK as part of the WWE Tagged Classics line on July 5, 2004. [31] Aftermath For the rest of the summer, Hulk Hogan resumed his feud with Yokozuna on the international circuit. He then left WWF and focused on his acting career. He starred in Thunder in Paradise, a weekly syndicated TV show that ran from 1993 to 1994. During filming of the show, he was offered a contract with World Championship Wrestling (WCW), WWF's main competitor. [32] He joined wcw in the summer of 1994 and wrestled his first match at the Bash at the Beach in 1994, defeating to win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. [33] He continued to wrestle for the company until the summer of 2000. WCW subsequently went bankrupt in the spring of 2001 and Hogan did not return to WWF until early 2002. [34] Jerry Lawler escalated his feud with Bret Hart by getting Hakushi involved. Yokozuna held the WWF World Heavyweight Championship for over nine months before releasing the belt to Bret Hart. Shawn Michaels was stripped of the Intercontinental Championship in September 1993, setting up a battle royal where Razor Ramon the next champion. The Steiner Brothers continued to feud with Money Inc. over the WWF Tag Team Championship. They defeated DiBiase and Schyster the day after King of the Ring to win belts. [36] They held them for two days before losing them to Money Inc. [37] Three days later, Steiner regained the belts, which they held for the remainder of the feud. [38] Jerry Lawler feuded with Bret Hart for more than two years after King of the Ring. They met each other at SummerSlam in 1993 to determine the true king of WWF. Lawler won the game and the title after Hart was disqualified. [39] They were to wrestle each other on in 1993 in an elimination match, but Lawler could not appear because he had been charged with rape and sodomy in real life. The accuser later admitted that she had falsified the allegations. [40] Hart feuded with his brother Owen throughout 1994, so the feud with Lawler lay dormant. Lawler accused Bret Hart of being a racist in 1995 for creating problems between Hart and Japanese wrestler Hakushi. [41] This rekindled the feud between Hart and Lawler, and they met each other on 1. Hakushi intervened in the match, allowing Lawler to make Hart. [42] This set up a Kiss my Foot match between Hart and Lawler at King of the Ring in 1995. According to the provision, the loser would be forced to kiss the winner's feet. Lawler lost and brought in his dentist, Isaac Yankem, who soon debuted in WWF. [44] Yankem wrestled hart at SummerSlam in 1995; Hart won the match by disqualification after Yankem and Lawler smothered Hart with the ring rope.
