7 Reasons why WWE should bring back King of the Ring.
The King of the Ring tournament was once the most prestigious tournament style event the WWE held. It has provided a launching pad for those stars who are ready to move into the main event, given rise to great storylines, and featured some of the most legendary talent to ever lace up a pair of boots.
