Pay-Per-View Rewind of: WWF/WWE King of the Ring 13/06/1993 Match 1 Part 1 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Chosen by: Me; just because as things stand it has been speculated that this event may be coming back in 2023, so I was thinking I would look at the inaugural tournament, I should point out this is before the Mr. McMahon comeback situation.

Basic walk-through of this event:

* Vince McMahon voice over: screen graphics [from opening to the end of this section highly creative graphics were used here] of the first round/semi-final round matches of tonight's King of the Ring tournament.

* "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Jim Ross & Bobby " The Brain" Heenan/" Wiesel": Commentary basically welcomed us and between them talk about the championship matches we have tonight Ross and Savage are up first with Yokozuna [with Mr. Fuji] vs. the WWF Champion Hulk Hogan [with "Mouth of The South" Jimmy Hart] with Hogan's Championship on the line. Ross and Heenan discuss Crush vs. the Intercontinental Champion The Two Dudes with Attitude: Shawn Michaels [with Diesel] with likewise Michaels' Intercontinental Championship on the line here. Throughout this opening section here, we get these two matches on screen at one point or another and I should just point out before someone picks up on it without the accompanying characters on these graphics. Yes by today's standards and this is for the younger generations you may think they are relatively basic, but I see them as vintage WWF, they are clean and tidy. One final thing because we have three on the commentary table, the dynamics is something like this meaning they may agree with one another but this is their model; Savage [babyface,] Ross [neutral] and Heenan [heel] and what really puts this over is Savage and Heenan there is clearly friction between these two pairs their body language and mannerisms would suggest with Ross in the middle handing things over to our ring announcer The Finkel.

* The Finkel: says the stipulations and then introduces the competitors.

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects

Comments: it begins this pay-per-view with a bang and hopefully sets the tone for the rest of it. Ross highlights are the rules [which I have already put in the stipulations at one point or another they will apply and if you're wondering why I have put them all, it is because I know at some point I may run the risk of forgetting or changing, so if I put them all now I can't screwed up, but I will delete as we progress through this tournament] and a little later Savage and Heenan reinforce these rules on commentary and then a little later Savage highlighted again for both competitors. [Additionally: because I have seen a few matches after this one they make reference to the stipulations on a consistent basis, so I have decided to state that here for the first time and I won't make reference to it again unless I really have to or choose to for some reason, I don't mind them  bringing it up on commentary, because they are in the moment, but I don't want to come off as annoying by repeating something unless as I have already said I want to or need to.]

Between Heenan and Ross they make a mistake where we are on the outside and Heenan paraphrasing Ramon can't beat Hart on the outside of the ring the only winners advance which Ross concurs with this. Ross later on also makes a mistake with using Savage name as an in ring competitor in this match, but he corrected himself halfway through, I am still not going to take any marks off for these because Ross puts in so much enthusiastic energy that I can't overly criticise it yes absolutely I can point it out, but when someone is being enthusiastic it is very difficult to criticise someone unless I have a genuine reason to.

Likewise the crowd participation is amazing even though they are quiet can now and again, you can really get the undertone of electric crowd and finally this match ends very smartly indeed it protects its loser with being out wrestled.

Basic Result: Bret "The Hitman" Hart advances to the next round of the King of the Ring.

Basic walk-through of this event:

* "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Jim Ross & Bobby "The Brain" Heenan:/" Wiesel" Commentary watching replays of part of this match with Bret "The Hitman" Hart's theme music "Hart Attack"

* Jim Ross: Commentary senders to a video package in a nutshell how Mr. Hughes and Harvey Wippleman got their hands on The Undertaker's urn

* The Finkel: Ring announcer says the stipulations and then introduces the competitors.
