Come on... were you seriously expecting anyone else? What?

Not only did Austin use the tournament to slowly become a main-eventer, his promo after winning King of the Ring is simply legendary.

He eventually became so popular as a heel that the company had to turn him face, which happened after Bret Hart switched roles with Austin in their brilliant encounter at WrestleMania 13.

Not even a broken freakin' neck - oops, wrong entry! - prevented Austin from reaching the WWF Championship, as he had to slowly wait until WrestleMania XIV to beat Shawn Michaels. And from there, there was no stopping his momentum.

With that said, it's clear Austin is the most successful King of the Ring winner ever.

And that's the bottom line.
