10 Wrestlers Who Crowned Themselves King

10. King Harley Race

Since Harley was the first to win the King of the Ring and carry the royalty on into his own gimmick, it's only right that he gets his own entry on this countdown. Harley was a huge name in the wrestling fraternity when he joined WWE in 1986. Since WWE didn't, and still don't recognise any other company outside of their own, the powers that be were keen to give him a new look. First, they bleached his hair blonde and called him 'Handsome' Harley Race, before he won he '86 King of the Ring tournament. He would come to the ring in a cape and crown that look very similar to mind, and would make his opponents bow and kneel before him - much like I do every time I defeat Jack The Jobber on FIFA and the like.
