Top Ten: Pro Wrestling Pay-Per-View Names

By Josh Isenberg

Number 9: WWE King of the Ring: 1985-present. Absent from 2003-2006

It began as an event, then moved to a Pay Per View, and now onto television. The name, the prestige of the event, and how it used to be a building block for the next world champion is a reason why King of the Ring has been a great PPV. The usage of words, the crown, and the importance. Look at Stone Cold's speech, Triple H, Kurt Angle, Edge and Brock Lesnar all won the King of the Ring. These guys all have been world champions. There used to be such an importance on who is King. The tournament bracket in one night on a Pay Per View was something different, something that you looked forward to each year. Other moments include Angle vs. Shane McMahon and the Hell in a Cell match between The Undertaker and Mankind.
