WWE's Best of King of the Ring set, hosted by Booker T will be released December 13th on DVD and Blu-ray.
"For more than 20 years, the King of the Ring has been a favorite tradition of the WWE Universe, a tournament to crown wrestling royalty. Past kings have included Randy Savage, Bret “Hit Man” Hart, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, Edge, and Brock Lesnar.
But the King of the Ring’s popularity goes beyond the storied tournament, as for 10 years, King of the Ring was a wildly popular PPV event that produced a number of unforgettable moments including the Hell in a Cell match between Undertaker and Mankind, Stone Cold’s memorable battle with Mr. McMahon and Shane McMahon for control of the WWE, Austin’s debut of his revolutionary “Austin 3:16” catchphrase, the first-ever match between Hulk Hogan and Kurt Angle, as well as matches for the WWE Championship.
Now all those moments are collected in The Best of the King of the Ring, a 3-DVD set packed with more than 8 hours of amazing matches, interviews, moments, and more."

I really hope they have the very early stuff on here. Pre pay per view would be nifty!

would love to see some of the older KOTR on here - hoping for full tournaments, though unlikely.

No way they'd get full of all them with 8 hours only. Should be really fun though and perhaps they can skip as much of victories like Mabel's though.

Perhaps the WWE could do an anthology for the King of the Ring? I doubt I would buy it, but I would probably watch at least some of it through Netflix or the library. |

I'd have preferred Regal hosting but Booker's not a bad choice. Looks like some fun matchups to catch.

I got this as a Christmas gift.
I only already owned 4 of the 21 matches on this DVD set, I think I am going to start watching this tonight.
