10 Fascinating WWE Facts About King Of The Ring 1997

[@DirgeTV]

"Who installed that Toilet cam and why was it Goldust?" One doesn't simply seek a logical answer for anything Goldust does.

[@jakesnyder4957]

7:30, Me: OK I know. this... Shawn Michaels... Ross: WELL YOUR WRONG Me:Ok, well I dont know then... Ross:It was Shawn Michaels Me:WHAT THE FU-

[@KangaPanda]

Should start a "What If?" series: What if Stone Cold retired in 1997? What if Taker/HBK jumped to WCW? What if Edge never got injured? Sort of Alternate History stuff.

[@brocklesnar8933]

Not a bad idea

[@AngelRodriguez-pp8bu]

El Lobo good thinking. Those would be extremely interesting videos.

[@ComaAlpha]

El Lobo what if Edge never injured Savio Vega? Would that negate Edge from getting injured decades later?

[@tonyandrews9218]

What if Vince COULD have been able to pay Bret to stay?? Could Owen still be with us??

[@gejamugamlatsoomanam7716]

what if hbk was the one screwed at svs 97

[@drewvowell5301]

[@MegamanNG]

I wait for them to do facts on The Royal Rumble.

[@TheLarryburns84]

what is a paper view?

[@LestatSkysGuitar]

I loved the whole tag team of stone cold and Shawn Michaels ! They had amazing chemistry together, Plus the match they had at king of the ring was terrific

[@coachferatu9094]

austin's still mad at owen hart for pildriving his neck outta his neck.

[@dethrone808]

Bret hart's still mad that Goldberg who isn't that great of a wrestler gets to wrestle and he can't

[@sandwitches4078]

Dethrone and Goldberg ended his career

[@staceytoda2756]

Austin did the exact same thing the exact same way to another wrestler not five years before.

[@codyrochester7296]

Stacey Toda I believe the wrestlers name was Masahiro Chono.

[@StormSnakeMG]

coach feratu He literally forgave Owen the night of the incident. It was a mistake that could have happened to anyone. That's why the piledriver is banned nowadays.

[@PeppermintPepperoni]

Spoiler Alert: Shawn Michaels. It was Shawn Michaels. He was in nWo and never worked for WCW.

[@robertmurray]

I'm getting all of those trivia questions right yet king still says I'm wrong.

[@joshculver4381]

I love these questions after the videos! Thanks King Ross!

[@stevebrewster5341]

Pillman vs Austin for the title at a mainia is the greatest match that never happened.

[@boyankovachev7982]

Sorry, but Michael Hickenbottom vs Eddie Guerero is the one for me

[@jamminmusicman]

1997 was and will always be my favorite year for wrestling ...

[@nickgordon2254]

That music at the very end of the video is great!

[@benconley612]

Nice vid Adam

[@abdullahalajeelalaskar1464]

Do one on another ppv like survivor series or summerslam or royal rumble

[@SoFRESHandSoMJ]

What's up with all the "King of the Ring facts" videos? Does WhatCulture know something that we don't???

[@JovaughnRamirez94]

SoFRESHandSoMJ probably just because the PPV used to be in June. I don't think WWE would bring the ppv back.

[@kathartik]

they said in the first one it's because the wrestlemania series was so well received they decided to do the same with KotR.

[@torgregory1254]

Two Raw Entertainment also the wrestle mania fact videos were highly enjoyed

[@k1productions87]

And I can't wait for the Summerslam Facts too

[@sandwitches4078]

Because Adam wants king of the ring to return

[@Mar-fm4vf]

10 interesting facts about Rampage or Martin Kirby

[@HornyStewie_69]

who in the blue hell are they???? :P

[@HornyStewie_69]

nope... I only commented on a Whatculture video about wrestling and have no idea that Whatculture has it's own promotion :O

[@andrewthorne3570]

It's a pity Sid didn't have the skill (and temperment, know what I mean Arn Anderson) to match his size and look, he could have been one of the greats But them's the breaks, especially the Tibia and Fibula

[@apark02]

seems like Karma that Shawn would fake an injury to avoid wrestling Bret, only to have himself legitimately hurt a year later by the Undertaker and cost him over 4 years of his prime rehabbing.

[@Kanefan701]

what was that music playing in the video. that heavy metal guitar was awesome.

[@monkeyman920.]

Whatculture can you please make a video of the rise and fall of TNA?

[@PalataoBola0]

Make 10 Fascinating Facts about King Ross u'll love it

[@taurus_1977]

Jerry Lawler invading ECW was the most epic incident ever in wrestling, up there with Hogan joining NWO

[@crater2001]

Hopefully the king of the ring comes back soon.

[@MegamanNG]

Considering that 97 is the calm before the storm, it's inevitable.

[@BrandonHcpt]

How WWE should book a King of the Ring tournament on each brand

[@MegamanNG]

Still waiting for 98 Plumpy... 98 had that epic moment.

[@DoctorLazers]

Don't wanna brag, but I've gotten all of the post video trivia correct... Ladies

[@BIGGPHILL]

Nice work... you are far from a schweaty mark

[@thisismyname5754]

I got this question right... Yay..?

[@criticalfayle7509]

+DoctorLazers oh doctor my doctor

[@Septicor]

Me too. **high fives**

[@elanorgrimes5655]

**is a lady** Why sir, tell me more **fans self**

[@luckylucas8596]

I can only get the trivia question right when King Ross is calling me a sweaty mark.

[@JulioHernandez-wy8nh]

Lucky Lucas Is Uganda men!!!

[@marcus813]

The Providence arena currently called the Dunkin' Donuts Center likely would've held more like about 12K-14K fans depending on the layout, not 15K.

[@ewanmacdonald728]

finally got a trivia question right!

[@MARKOUTTV]

Wow a Plumpy video that isnt 90% whining about Jinder? Is it Christmas already?

[@espurious]

Yes...Chrotmas.

[@MARKOUTTV]

espurious whoops

[@HoV326]

what's with all the king of the ring videos? Is King of the Ring coming back?

[@Rockhound6165]

Interesting question involving Austin. Imagine he being forced into retirement with Brett moving to WCW and HBK taking time off because of his back problems. Would HHH have been thrust into the limelight? The Rock? Would Foley have been given an early push? Would the Undertaker have gotten an actual decent title run? We'll never know but it would have been interesting and I wonder if WCW would have been able to survive.

[@just2slick195]

Oh man I was there at that PPV. I remember Bret was gonna be special referee

[@purodeathcore]

Austin 3:16 says I JUST BROKE YOUR NECK

[@shavedjim]

All these years later I'm still amazed Sid closed two Manias

[@Zim85]

I didn't know that Ol Stone Cold almost had to retire then. Hard for me to think what wrestling would've been without him if he did.

[@teddyboy1626]

Intriguing!

[@MichaelParthum]

In an alternate universe, Austin took the first doctor's advice, and we are looking forward to the next WCW Monday Nitro.

[@sk8urmind1]

Stone Colds story of the second doctor telling him he could wrestle but would be in a lot of pain reminds me of Daniel Bryan. Cleared by all the doctors except WWE. It seems with Daniel the outcome was opposite of Austin

[@justinroark88]

He will probably do one about each of the big 4 PPVs

[@wrestlemaniamachine4life]

That wrestling trivia was way too easy.

[@multiyapples]

Intriguing.

[@ckywizard]

It was at the providence Civic center in Providence Rhode Island

[@Surreal469]

Technically Sid was in 3 Mania main events. He walked Shawn to the ring at XI

[@BobNinjaCat]

Just tossing this out there, but Stone Cold, Triple H, and Cena have worked their asses off through injuries and rapidly-degrading bodies while Randy Orton and Roman Reigns couldn't be bothered to give a damn most nights. Hell, Balor and Undertaker have done impressive work DESPITE injuries in the past. And yet, Jinder gets booed because memes.

[@dclawliet450]

4:33 "Vince don't ruin Sasuke" Fans have really been worried about the mistreatment of Japanese wrestlers for years haven't they?

[@daveglander1]

The trivia question was the only one I got right so far.. Shawn Michaels.

[@Trey7672]

Damn, Austin/Pillman would have been a great program

[@brendanwoods7278]

I like all of the old In Your House names. any of them would have been better than Great Balls of Fire

[@Wildberryjamband]

Bret planted the seeds for the screwjob by using his own creative control when he signed on for the Survivor Series 1996 and probably had his entire final 12 months booked in his head. (Including the screwjob finish itself, Bret's work). It would take an entire DVD to show Bret's 1997 run: Vader, Mankind, Pycho Sid, and then Sid in a cage match, HHH, Patriot, Rock, Shamrock - with promos and entrances that's a full three hour disc. On TV, the "screwed" storyline started at the end of the Sid vs Bret title cage match on Raw in March 1997. Bret had won the WWF title in Canada in 1992, and having the Hart family win the big tag match from Canadian Stampede was definitely part of Bret's negotiations. There was no way he would go to WCW after a loss to Shawn, and so Bret came up with his 1997 year-long storyline to get the most out of it while could. Bret screwed Bret. LOL.. Yes. Yes he did. Bret came up with the screwjob finish so yeah, I Vince is telling the truth when he says Bret screwed Bret !

[@rushguy1]

Hunter Triple Hearstley Helmsley H. Fucking gold, that.

[@frankyquilavafireblast895]

Got it right

[@thesaltedsnail7172]

Pachitti is not my Adam!!! Blampied vs Pachitti II

[@JoshuaD.Howard]

Young RVD is a Crispy dude 🔥🔥💯💯

[@johnnydelgado8356]

I wonder who was originally supposed to win that year between Johnson, Vader, goldust, & Vega.

[@danielq219]

I was right for once omg but I literally guessed Shawn Michaels tho😂😂

[@mikeyoungblood1642]

Vince told Bret that he could re-negotiate with WCW in September 1997, not June. Wrong again Meltzer

[@nickythebull82]

Ask harder questions at the end

[@PapaGatorGaming]

What's Up With Plumpy Doing All These KOTR Videos Does He Know Something We Don't?

[@Benjatron-jw2rg]

Wasn’t this the event where a “special Olympian” tried to interfere in the Austin HBK match?

[@My19812011]

Shawn/Bret didn't happen because of Bret having a knee injury and Bret has confirmed this in their DVD, Shawn/Bret at WM13 also wasn't 100% and more a case of Vince telling Bret that he was winning the title back then to get him to sign the new contract.

[@GreatDeath52]

Hey, I actually knew that trivia lol

[@MillerNj41]

It’s also the first ppv to have the all red ropes

[@Showtime6192009]

[@dukes1993724]

HBK was out of control all throughout 97. Miss the old days of wrestling. Hasn't been the same since the early aughts

[@insertname1014]

Triple H should take over from Vince

[@BigWilt2000]

No Shane should since he's Vince's son

[@mattawan1000]

Ownership of a company is not a monarchy. Triple H is more qualified than Shane.

[@demitriuscovington370]

mattawan1000 that's kinda because every idea that Shane had got shot down by Vince, until he was sh frustrated he left.

[@ComaAlpha]

Griffin Reviews bullshit. If Pat Patterson and Bruce Prichard didn't hate Raven so much, I believe he could turn WWF back to the awesomeness it once was.

[@DarkLordDiablos]

I would skip the ad if the option was still there.

[@dilated2020]

so stone cold's neck was this risky already, and then owen piledriver botch wasnt the deathblow on his career? wow.

[@BIGGUY0683]

Call me crazy, but I think if Hollywood ever made a Duke Nukem movie. Sid Vicious should play him.

[@mearnog14]

sit out tombstone? ehh a piledriver?

[@trevorhoudek7577]

that was the joke? maybe?

[@blair9704]

HEY ADAM I'VE BEEN WATCHING STEINERMANIA ON KZbin FUNNIEST THING EVER YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING WITH THAT K THANKS BYE I'M AN EXTRA MEMBER YOU OWE ME!

[@kevinnorwood8782]

You know what fact I'm surprised you DIDN'T mention? The fact that Triple H was ADAMANT that he was NOT going to wear that King Of The Ring crown. He told Vince backstage, "Vince, I'm not wearing that dorky-looking crown," and he emphasized that point by smashing the crown over Mick Foley's head! Next night on RAW, they were going to crown him again, but Triple H proceeded to do the EXACT SAME THING! They tried AGAIN the next week, and the SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN! Finally, Vince said, "You really aren't going to wear that crown, are you Hunter?". And of course, Triple H said no, so Vince finally relented.

[@JoshuaD.Howard]

I always call him HBShizzle 🔥🔥💯💯

[@jackji2325]

We almost had the Hollywood Blondes explode!

[@smelllikeaweebsspirit6675]

To King Ross . . . my answer is correct Ha HA hA

[@MrRiddler6]

I'm surprise that Triple H hated the crown and never wanted to wear it and broke is every chance he could preferably on Mic Foleys head

[@areeb-_-8002]

I got the question in the last right.

[@LaurenceGill2000]

When did a piledriver become a sit-out tombstone?? :')

[@chippersaurus]

No credit for Justin Henry?

[@jarfd.dorkis5766]

My question is why did Vince put the title on Bret if he knew he couldn't honor his contract?

[@Wurzelknecht]

To have the blow-off match with Michaels at Survivor Series, I guess. Judging by an article by Russo I read in the WWF Magazine back then (I was young don't judge me), it seems the original plan for the WWF Title was for Shawn to regain it at the Rumble (which he did), lose it to Bret at Mania (which he didn't) and then regain it from him at Survivor Series in the rubber match. So that match was planned as early as December 1996.
