King of the Ring
Being named King of the Ring has propelled to new heights the careers of many WWE Superstars, including some that have gone on to become WWE Hall of Famers and Legends, such as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Bret "Hit Man" Hart, and others. For a Superstar to be crowned King of the Ring after outlasting some of the best in-ring competitors WWE has to offer is one of sports entertainment's highest honors. Sixteen WWE Superstars compete in this annual tournament in which the victor is crowned with his royal title.
