Moments - Positives
Firstly, this PPV will always be remembered as the death of Hulkamania in the WWF, at least for the 20th century! This was Hogan's last PPV appearance for the WWF and he lost the title after a massive leg drop from Yokozuna. This makes the PPV something important. In addition, it included the debut of Diesel and Billy Gunn in the Smokin Gunns. The ending of the PPV was a great moment in establishing the Lawler / Hart feud. Classic moment.

Moments - Negatives
Some of the KOTR matches were slightly too long but the overall card was solid. Very few negatives in this PPV.

Overall Summary
Not only the first King of the Ring PPV but also somewhat of a start of the new WWF Generation. The death of Hogan in the WWF makes this show very important in the history of the WWF and the evolution of the whole wrestling industry.

SCORE = 8.5
