King Booker was absolutely HILARIOUS with his fake british accent and facial expressions, then he would sometimes lose the accent and be his normal self. I’m so glad that WWE went back to now winning the tournament means you get a world championship opportunity, instead of just wear a crown and cape
I think my guy billy is righttt I'm pretty sure it was zelina Vega cause if nia won they would've said the first ever queen of the ring but they didn't, when Xavier became king of the ring zelina became queen of the ring
I hated Booker T when he became King Booker but now looking back at it I love it and he did exactly what he wanted to making 8 year old me just want him to be beaten
0:43 - You can CLAIM that Billy Gunn didn’t live up to his royal hype, but Billy Gunn MOST DEFINITELY lived up to his royal hype. Arguably one of the best tag team wrestlers of all-time in the WWE, with 11 reigns as WWF/E Tag Team Champion. He also held the Intercontinental Championship & Hardcore Title twice. He is also 60 years old now, & still wrestling! Anyone his age is retired. He’s still having decent matches and teaching two great young wrestlers in “The Acclaimed” faction - (Max Caster & Anthony Bowens)
He never made it BIG TIME in WWF/E, like WWF/E Champ. With a willing push, he was more than a deserving guy (in his prime). Other than the Billy Gunn piece I thought the vid was awesome
It's just that Billy Gunn wasn't the WWF's first pick to win the King of the Ring tournament in 1999. The original pick was supposed to be the Big Show, but he was out of shape when going from WCW to WWF.
@@ricardonb6375 Well, it never happened. Just like the WWE’s first pick was Cody to win at WM39. Didn’t happen. Roman Reigns won the match. Unlike Cody Rhodes.. Big Show like you had said was OUT OF SHAPE coming to the WWF. The argument WWE had “someone else”, slated to win the KOTR, when that person was an out-of-shape Big Show, adds more truth to my claims about Billy.
Regales corrupt gm gimmick was rlly good anyone that forgets just how good it was should go back and watch some of it ngl it was so good until he obviously randomly had that match and was fired (he ruined his own push)
All I have to say is that the King of the Ring tournament under Triple h's watch provides a whole lot more purpose than it ever did when Vince was in charge 🤷🏿♂️! And with both Gunther and Nia Jax getting title shots at SummerSlam after their crowning moments, seems like that the concept is finally in the step of the right direction 💯!
@@spamaccount8979 it could also be an angle for a Face, who's trying to do everything right and rule fairly, but then his benevolence gets abused to the point where they go mad
The 1998 King of The Ring was famous for the Hell In A Cell match between Undertaker and Mankind but you didn't even mention the winner of that years tournament Ken Shamrock .

Loved the stuff we got from that 🤣
I remember when he said "I don't speak Ebonics" moment later when he realized Cryme Tyme stole his wallet "AWWWW HELL NAH"
It's pronounced King BOOKAH!
9:39 the second Queen of the Ring. Zelina Vega was the first Queen of the Ring.
No technically Zelina Vega won the Queen's Crown, it wasn't called Queen of the Ring back in 2021. Pretty much same thing but different names
I think my guy billy is righttt I'm pretty sure it was zelina Vega cause if nia won they would've said the first ever queen of the ring but they didn't, when Xavier became king of the ring zelina became queen of the ring
And I just fact checked my guy right here cause I was so sure we were right. We are right. Zelina Vega won it in 2021
Same could be said for Wade Barrett. (lower third said Sheamus)
I hated Booker T when he became King Booker but now looking back at it I love it and he did exactly what he wanted to making 8 year old me just want him to be beaten
Fax, I had the same feelings towards Miz in 2010 but dude was just great at his job LOL
Real fans knows it’s not King Booker it’s King Bookah 😂😂
Fax, i shouldve done that 🤣🤣
You forgot Ken Shamrock from 1998 and Edge from 2001
Yeah.. He is a better king than half the winners
You're right I probably should've mentioned them, my fault fam

Seth Rollins needs to become King Of The Ring I want to see all of the fun non sense he can do to a crown and robes and have fun doing it
Great idea
Regales corrupt gm gimmick was rlly good anyone that forgets just how good it was should go back and watch some of it ngl it was so good until he obviously randomly had that match and was fired (he ruined his own push)
Fax I think it was a little underrated too but theres also a reason why we dont talk about it much anymore
W Vid! You earned a sub
Thank you fam!
Poor Edge

I agree fam
@@Wrestleology most definitely
10 seconds in and my guy there are MANY things more prestigious than winning King Of The Ring
They should make the KoR literally the kayfabe King of the WWE. They'd be allowed to do everything. book matches, etc.
Would be an interesting angle for someone who is an authoritative heel like Solo, but would only work once.
@@spamaccount8979 it could also be an angle for a Face, who's trying to do everything right and rule fairly, but then his benevolence gets abused to the point where they go mad
@@tundrastreaming as a face turning heel. A good face wouldn't abuse that power
What about edge?
Queen of the Ring already happened in 2021
That was technically called the "Queens Crown" tournament, same concept pretty much but was not officially Queen of the Ring
@@Wrestleology ah okok btw would like a video on the Queen of the Ring/Queens Crown Video
@@Wrestleologybut that's like saying the WWE and WWF championships are different due to being different names despite the same concept
It’s the second queen of the ring Vega is the first queen 9:38
No technically Zelina Vega won the Queen's Crown, it wasn't called Queen of the Ring back in 2021. Pretty much same thing but different names
@@Wrestleology different names, same situation
6:38 typical wwe youtubers mistake lol
BRO LMFAOOO IDK HOW I MISSED THAT 🤣🤣🤣
Gotta have a chat with the editor about that 😭😭
The 1998 King of The Ring was famous for the Hell In A Cell match between Undertaker and Mankind but you didn't even mention the winner of that years tournament Ken Shamrock .
Im so tired of the billy gunn narrative and don't mention Ken Shamrock the year before.
