Becoming "King" in the olden days.

**NeanderCarl** · 06-19-2007, 09:33 PM

There was a womens title and a womens tag title. There was also a light heavyweight title, which at some point in the 80s was defended and lost in Japan and forgotten about for years.

The "King" gimmick was treated as a defendable title for several years in the late 80s, starting when Haku won it from Harley Race. It even continued into 1993, when Bret Hart lost the "King of the Ring" title to Jerry Lawler at SummerSlam in what I believe to be the final instance of the "title" changing hands.
