10 Fascinating WWE King Of The Ring 1995 Facts

10. Pedro Morales No Showed The Hall Of Fame Ceremony

Before becoming a WrestleMania tradition, WWE held a few quaint Hall of Fame ceremonies in the mid-nineties in conjunction with other pay-per-views. In 1995, a ceremony took place the night before King of the Ring in Philly, where such luminaries as Ernie Ladd, Antonio Rocca, and George "The Animal" Steele, among others, were inducted.

Another inductee was Pedro Morales, the first triple-crown winner (World, Intercontinental, and Tag Team titles) in WWE history. However, Morales was absent from the ceremony, and is in fact to this day the only living inductee to not be present for his or her induction.

At the time, Morales was a Spanish-language announcer for WCW, and it's been speculated that his absence was due to not wanting to cause friction with his employer.
