One of the best events from this era. The story told throughout the tournament (Bret's fingers and knee going into the final) was expertly told, and the whole shift from Hogan's WWF to the new generation is felt in this show. Excellent choice and welcome back This Day in History
Bret Hart was the MVP of WWE during early-mid 90's. That Memphis-WWE scenario deal sounds a lot like situation the Hart Foundation was in during 1997, faces at home but heels when away from home.
Really enjoyed this review. Like you I was a huge Bret Hart mark and can remember watching this at home just being hooked to the screen. It was such a back and forward PPV for him. I liked the tournament concept and how time factored in. It was also cool how the three matches Bret won were so different in styles. Watching the ending with Lawler as a 12 year old I was gutted! But hey great storytelling and it led to a great feud. Its that smart transition storytelling that you just don't see enough of anymore.
I actually just saw the show this morning and it's a great show thanks to Bret Hart. I'd rank it up there with Great Sasuke from Super J Cup '94, Daniel Bryan at WM XXX and plenty more as one of the best One-night performances in history
If you don't mind Zack Ryder giving about 2 minutes of random comedy, here's the full Bret Hart v Mr Perfect match. It is still quite epic to watch! th-cam.com/video/ekt-m1LNWIM/w-d-xo.html

A legit moment for him
I love how this started the Lawler hart angle. Did you ever see any of Harts work as a heel in Memphis
Chris Ludecke but it work well
As someone who was born in the attitude era and loves that wrestling time i like hearing wwf reviews from the early 90s

It was a significant PPV, because it was a message for Bret Hart, and the roster was a changing
Apparently Hogan after winning the belt at WM9 was the first to have the brock schedule
Chris Ludecke LOL!
Great PPV
Best KotR tournament by far.
I had King of the Ring for my Game Boy. Good times.
It's still called the nutter center
Good review
its my birthday today! I remember Bret winning on my birthday. good memory.
