10 Fascinating WWE King Of The Ring 1993 Facts

10. The Phrase "Heartland Of America" Was Used In Place Of The Location

The 1993 King of the Ring emanated from the Nutter Center in Dayton, OH, the sixth largest city in "The Buckeye State", and the birthplace of baseball legends Mike Schmidt and Roger Clemens. Tell that to WWE officials, who apparently felt insecure running a pay-per-view out of a veritable B-town.

Perhaps you've noticed on certain Raw episodes from time to time that no mention is made of what city they're in. This happens when they're in a smaller city like Fort Wayne, IN or Lafayette, LA or Columbia, SC. It's been said that Vince McMahon feels his product comes off as second-rate when associated with the littler towns, and nixes the mentions of them.

Add Dayton to that list, as announcers Jim Ross, Randy Savage, and Bobby Heenan would often use the catch-all phrase, "We're in the Heartland of America!" during the broadcast, instead of just saying Dayton.
