Goofs:

Factual errors: Commentator Jim Ross states that Irwin R. Schyster had (at that time) held the tag team titles with 3 different partners on 4 different occasions. This is incorrect. As of this event, I.R.S. had held the titles with Ted Dibiase twice, and Barry Windham twice. Hence, I.R.S. held the tag titles with only two different partners.

Movie Connections:

Followed by Survivor Series (1993) (TV)

perhaps the best KOTR

This is the first King of the Ring in which Bret Hart did become the King of the Ring, and his match with Curt Henning is a classic. And yes this was also, thank God, Hulk Hogan's final WWF match as the mighty Yokozuna squashed him.
