Episode 13 - King of the Ring - June 8, 1997

After viewing a whole year of WWF pay per views, the boys empty their memory boxes and watch King of the Ring from Providence, Rhode Island. Goldust, who assures you he is 100% straight, takes on Crush. After a series of spellbinding interviews with Jimmy Ross, Mankind begins a stellar program with Hunter Hearst Helmsley in the finals of King of the Ring. For the first time, tag team champions face each other and it’s a hell of a lot of fun watching Stone Cold and HBK battle. And as Faarooq takes on the Undertaker, WWF answers the question “Will there ever be an African American WWF/E Champion?” The answer is no for another 22 years.
