10 Obscure WWE King Of The Ring Facts

8. Fans Started Leaving Before Mabel Won In 1995

Definitely the most unpopular winner of the tournament ever, the massive Mabel would be crowned 'King' in 1995, in what is largely considered to be the worst supercard in the event's illustrious history. Just a few years after the show had debuted on Pay-Per-View, there were already fans wondering what all the fuss was about. A huge part of the problem with the then-WWF in 1995 was that the company were running short on true money-making stars, but surely there was a better option than Mabel? Nobody can blame the writing team for trying something different, but the big man had been a mid-card comedy act until before this night. After top names such as The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels crashed out in the early rounds, fans started voting with their feet, departing The Spectrum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in their droves. Rarely does this sort of thing happen, even today, but it was unthinkable in the mid-90's. Even so, following a long, dull card of matches, a lot of fans decided to leave after the 'Kiss My Foot' attraction between Bret Hart and Jerry Lawler.
