About this episode
The Lapsed Fan is back to chop up your WWE Network archives, and this week it's a deep dive into one of the worst pay-per-views in WWF history – the 1995 King of the Ring. Hosts Jack Encarnacao and JP Sarro explore just what made this show such a difficult slog, and highlight many fun aspects that time has forgotten, such as: - Bill Murray's odd video induction speech on the back of an elephant for George "The Animal" Steele into the WWF Hall of Fame - The Stridex blimp - The most forced Rocky Balboa tie-ins you've ever heard, as "Caribbean Legend" Savio Vega goes for tournament glory in Philadelphia - The first "ECW" chants to make it on to a WWF broadcast, and Vince McMahon's flustered response - Who thought it was a good idea to end a PPV main event with a standing elbow drop? - What ingredient Bob Backlund thinks made cheese steak healthier. Monarchy reigns! Catch The Lapsed Fan review of the 1995 King of the Ring, if you dare.
