In addition to the tournament, there was only one other match during the night. In this match The Beverly Brothers defeated The Bushwhackers, in a tag team match.

Storylines

The matches resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results were predetermined by World Wrestling Federation's writers.[2]

Aftermath

Following this tournament, starting with King of the Ring 1993, the tournament moved to the annual King of the Ring pay-per-view event, held annually until King of the Ring 2002.

During the 1993, Bret Hart became the only two time King of the Ring, following his win at this event.
