Where: King Of The Ring 2002

Despite a string of inconsistent winners and pushes, the King Of The Ring crown was still seen as a stepping stone for main event hopefuls after the turn of the century.

Only a few months removed from his debut, Lesnar entered his first, and to date only, King of the Ring as an intriguing dark horse. Despite the midcard shambles it would turn into in future years, the 2002 iteration had 'The Beast' up against a string of established and rising names.

But alas - for the competition anyway - Vince had already strapped his rockets to the amateur wrestling champion and he ran riot over Bubba Ray Dudley, Booker T, Test and Rob Van Dam to snag the crown and a WWE Championship match at SummerSlam that year.
