King of the Ring 1988

[Chuckles]

What a wild group of wrestlers!

Iron Mike Sharpe vs Red Rooster in the quarter-finals? Ron Bass defeats Shawn Michaels?

Somehow they still ended up with a great Savage vs DiBiase final, and the crown made Savage heel? all of this is just bananas.

The old days when KOTR was just a house show gimmick to pop ticket sales. I'm not sure that they every really explained why some of the winners suddenly became kings on WWE television.
