10 Fascinating WWE King Of The Ring 1993 Facts
7. Bret Hart Wrestled For More Than A Half Hour The Night Before The Show
Across his three matches at the 1993 King of the Ring pay-per-view, Bret Hart wrestled 47 minutes and 32 seconds, carrying the heavy end of what would've been a mediocre show at best without his craftsmanship. Hart actually worked all three bouts with an injured ankle, sustained the previous evening. And what was "The Hitman" doing one night earlier? Working his hands to the bone at Madison Square Garden.
Instead of working a basic house show match, Hart and fellow babyface Bob Backlund put on a clinic inside the Garden, during the course of which Hart sustained a noticeable ankle injury. The match went more than 32 minutes long, with Hart coming out on the top. It was Backlund's first pinfall loss ever at the Garden.
In all, Bret Hart performed four matches totaling 1 hour, 19 minutes, and 53 seconds across a 24 hour stretch, 600 miles apart.
