#4 King of the Ring tournament (WWE King of the Ring 1993)
Sometimes, tournaments in WWE don't have to be a bunch of good-to-great matches. It can be a single superstar putting on exceptional encounters that are all different from one another. That is exactly what Bret "The Hitman" Hart accomplished at the 1993 King of the Ring.
Hart had just lost his WWE Championship at WrestleMania 9 to Yokozuna and needed to cement his spot as the top babyface of the promotion with Hulk Hogan soon to depart. Fans were greeted in the first pay-per-view version of the King of the Ring tournament with a night that showed why Bret was the best wrestler in the business.
The former WWE Champion started off the night in a fun, fast-paced power vs mat wrestling battle against Razor Ramon. Bret barely pulled out the win, reversing a second rope back suplex into a pinning combination. He would then meet his former rival, Mr. Perfect, in the semifinals. Bret once again proved to be the better wrestler in a brilliant technical wrestling bout, winning with an inside cradle.
Bret Hart finally faced Bam Bam Bigelow in the tournament finals. The Hitman completed one of the greatest underdog performances in WWE history, defeating Bigelow, who was an absolute beast in the main event. To further cement the tournament's legacy, Jerry 'The King' Lawler kickstarted his years-long rivalry with Bret Hart by interrupting his coronation and attacking The Hitman.
