I was thinking about King of the Ring a while ago. Has it ever really made a star? It seems like all the winners that were going to be something never really hung their hat on winning the thing. It did give Austin a chance to cut that promo and Owen Hart some material. But I don't think it really helped anyone else except Booker T -- who let it completely transform him.
I dunno, I'm not trying to be smarmy, but I think the guys that made the best kings are just because we look back at them as former winners later, you know? There are also just so many achievements for wrestlers now -- they do Money in the Bank to make new stars, but I think that is running dry in and of itself. You've got the Andre Battle Royal winner floating around and being announced as such for the entire year. There are Elimination Chambers, CWCs and all other sorts of things.
