#2: King of the Ring

Though the last few winners of the King of the Ring tournament amounted to very little, there was a time when the crown was a huge deal. A simple elimination tournament, the contest would see who was the best on the roster, and saw plenty of careers rise to prominence thanks to the crown.
After all, the list of former Kings is a true who's who of wrestling, including Bret Hart, Triple H, Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle, and 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. An elite list, it is shocking that Cena's name isn't on it.
