Ep, 2: 1995 WWF King of the Ring
The Lapsed Fan is back to chop up your WWE Network archives, and this week it's a deep dive into one of the worst pay-per-views in WWF history – the 1995 King of the Ring.
Hosts Jack Encarnacao and JP Sarro explore just what made this show such a difficult slog, and highlight many fun aspects that time has forgotten, such as:
- Bill Murray's odd video induction speech on the back of an elephant for George "The Animal" Steele into the WWF Hall of Fame
- The Stridex blimp
- The most forced Rocky Balboa tie-ins you've ever heard, as "Caribbean Legend" Savio Vega goes for tournament glory in Philadelphia
- The first "ECW" chants to make it on to a WWF broadcast, and Vince McMahon's flustered response
- Who thought it was a good idea to end a PPV main event with a standing elbow drop?
- What ingredient Bob Backlund thinks made cheese steak healthier.
Monarchy reigns! Catch The Lapsed Fan review of the 1995 King of the Ring, if you dare.
