Also, Austin 3:16 was *SUPPOSED* to make Austin the single most hated man in wrestling. I want you to really think about that. The goal was to make him someone so despicable that NO ONE in their right mind could get behind and cheer. The next night, though, there were TONS of Austin 3:16 signs out in the crowd.
One correction... Both Austin and Bruce Prichard have stated in podcasts that Austin didn't actually go to a hospital to get stitched up, but got them from medical staff at the arena.
I actually met the Ultimate Warrior the day before KOTR '96. The PPV was in Milwaukee, and he appeared at the Chicago Comic Con that Saturday. While he was late to the signing, it was announced that he would make sure everyone present would get the opportunity to meet him and get their autograph. I got an 8x10 signed and his comic book (which was free with that month's WWF Magazine). He was nice and much bigger in person, for sure.
Once again a video/column etc about KOTR 96 that neglects the epic Pillman promo about "Raping and pillaging" the WWE. My God imagine that guy and Austin feuding in the Attitude era. The promo work would be untouchable.
They wanted to do a story where the British Bulldog's wife was trying to cheat with HBK, they wanted to do a story where Owen Hart was cheating with Debra, and HBK went on air and suggested that Bret Hart was cheating with Sunny. What kind of crazy obsession did the WWF have with making the Hart Family into adulterers?
So one of the most iconic catchphrases in wrestling history was made up by the wrestler on a whim? Then why does the WWE have rooms full of writers bickering over stupid shit? LET THE WRESTLERS BE THEMSELVES AND MAGIC HAPPENS!
I agree with Ahmed. I wouldn't have been ok with that situation either. There's nothing wrong with a guy NOT wanting to kiss another guy. That shouldn't be happening in real life, much less entertainment.
oooo, I got the trivia question right. I kinda liked how people sold the Stone Cold Stunner in the early days: They'd flop around on the mat a little bit like they'd just been hit by a Taser or had a seizure.
Bobo Brazil won the WWWF United States Heavyweight Championship back in the 60s. Or are we not counting that for first black man to win a singles championship?
By 96 Warrior look like he just didn't belong anymore lol nobody wanted to see that cartoon gimmick with all due respect to warrior one of my favs growing up but by that time wrestling was changing and more towards the real type of characters
That's the scariest thing about WWE. Give them as much shit as you want, but they are ALWAYS one promo, one match, one superstar away from being on top of the wrestling world for years to come again.
Fact #11: Michael P.S. Hayes is mouthing Austin's promo. Kind of takes the bloom off of the rose, don't it? Yeah, and there's no such thing as Santa Claus either.

The Stunner is no doubt the greatest finisher of all time, next to Crush's heart punch, but it can't be hit just anywhere. What about on concrete? Dropping to your bum on concrete would fudge up your tailbone! Now, the heart punch- THAT is a move you can hit anywhere.
Actually, the Stunner is the Diamond Cutter... and the RKO... and the Whippersnapper... and probably about umpteen other names that other folks have for it. So it wasn't born at KOTR '96. But, other than that, you're correct.
TFW you're the only one in the comment section old enough to remember that Mikey Whipwreck used the move as 'The Whippersnapper' first-- While Austin was with ECW. Probably a nod to a guy he got on with very well in the locker room.
Stone Cold originally had the stun gun, Cobra Clutch aka million dollar dream, Boston crab and STF. Mickey Whipwreck originally came up with the stunner which was called Whippersnapper which was meant to be a counter or a defensive move.
And when Stu Hart called the offices, Jim Cornette thought it was either Tom or Bruce Pritchard doing an ace impression of Stu thinking Owen Hart was ribbing him :D
I know it wasn't on the actual show, but I'm surprised that horrible Stone Cold - Yokozuna match where Austin bounced off imaginary ropes wasn't included
Don't screw Vince or you may lose your push. But then become a 14 time world and the heir to the WWE
Moral of the story: Screw with a McMahon. Worked for Triple H both times.
TVR24 😂😂😂
Didn't work well for Warrior...
Also, Austin 3:16 was *SUPPOSED* to make Austin the single most hated man in wrestling. I want you to really think about that.

June 96 - the Austin 3:16 promo, July 96 - Hogan turns heel and the NWO forms. A pretty solid summer in the business.
That's why if it was him and Hogan at wrestlemania, they should use that in video promo
Do wrestler's nipples get cold when they step into the ring???
Sean Anthony They got...STONE COLD
*glass shatters*
:->
In all fairness they are half naked in a building where the AC is probably on full blast. lol
It's probably the tension and electricity in the building as well as their adrenaline
last time I was this early stone cold was stunning
Jesse Holladay 😂 someone caught it
Johnny McCollum I caught the joke when he was a Superstar
Julio César Hernández Pérez Haha I played 2K16 too, I'm not a nineties baby.....I have failed life
ThePorkFate 90s are shitty but not in Wrestling thats for sure
wow
One correction... Both Austin and Bruce Prichard have stated in podcasts that Austin didn't actually go to a hospital to get stitched up, but got them from medical staff at the arena.
Why does everyone miss the No 1 fact....
Austin was booed during his promo!!
The cheers have been dubbed in, he was an upcoming HEEL at the time...
True, but that was still the promo that eventually produced a sensation like no other.
Proof?
i got the question right, HE WAS CALLED THE UGANDAN GIANT FOR FUCK'S SAKE
I was right 😃
IBRAHIM 16 me too I can't believe it!!
Jdixon me too
IBRAHIM 16 I was too
me too. Total guess though.
I'm 2 for 2 but yeah, that was total guess lol
I was at that PPV in Milwaukee,Wisconsin.Now that was a fun event to remember.
According to Bruce Prichards podcast Austin DID NOT go to the hospital he was given stitches backstage
Plumpy O'Clock is back for another go. This should be fun.
KOTR '96 was so much better. So much better. My 2nd favorite under the King Of The Ring marquee name.
The next one, not so much.
I actually met the Ultimate Warrior the day before KOTR '96. The PPV was in Milwaukee, and he appeared at the Chicago Comic Con that Saturday. While he was late to the signing, it was announced that he would make sure everyone present would get the opportunity to meet him and get their autograph. I got an 8x10 signed and his comic book (which was free with that month's WWF Magazine). He was nice and much bigger in person, for sure.
GIMME A HELL YEAH if stone cold steve Austin is the greatest wrestler of all time and that's the bottom line COS STONE COLD SAID SO!
hell yea
craig ball hell no
craig ball easily the best on the mic,but id put flair above him just a bit for inring skill
Once again a video/column etc about KOTR 96 that neglects the epic Pillman promo about "Raping and pillaging" the WWE. My God imagine that guy and Austin feuding in the Attitude era. The promo work would be untouchable.
who's happy Plumpy is on a video
don't let this distract you from the fact that Big Cass called himself Sawft
was it Hulk Hogan who keyed the car
XPac was there
I would buy the WhatCulture board game
If I had friends
ha....haha... ha *starts crying*
MICHAEL HAYES KEYED JOHNSON'S CAR!
The Stunner was used on a jobber before KOTR.
so far I haven't gotten a single trivia question wrong
They wanted to do a story where the British Bulldog's wife was trying to cheat with HBK, they wanted to do a story where Owen Hart was cheating with Debra, and HBK went on air and suggested that Bret Hart was cheating with Sunny. What kind of crazy obsession did the WWF have with making the Hart Family into adulterers?
"JOHNNY DON'T BE BAD, JOHNNY BE GAY!" - That was a thing that Brian Pillman said. You know when and where?
So one of the most iconic catchphrases in wrestling history was made up by the wrestler on a whim? Then why does the WWE have rooms full of writers bickering over stupid shit? LET THE WRESTLERS BE THEMSELVES AND MAGIC HAPPENS!
I like how ADAM used the word "rack", or racking, while the camera angle was on Sables chesticles 🤘
I woudnt be surprised if it was Michael Hayes that keyed that word onto Ahmed’s car
I remember also the Owen Hart heel commentary. I was hoping they mention it because it was pretty good. He had some really good lines.
Simon 3:16 says we want Adam.
I agree with Ahmed. I wouldn't have been ok with that situation either. There's nothing wrong with a guy NOT wanting to kiss another guy. That shouldn't be happening in real life, much less entertainment.
You should do more indie promotion content
Another fun fact: SEGA Saturn was the sponsor of the event
oooo, I got the trivia question right.
I kinda liked how people sold the Stone Cold Stunner in the early days: They'd flop around on the mat a little bit like they'd just been hit by a Taser or had a seizure.

who else love hearing this "Am Adam from whatcome to dot com"???
*Plumpy :P
But...but the whippersnapper is the 1st stunner
By 96 Warrior look like he just didn't belong anymore lol nobody wanted to see that cartoon gimmick with all due respect to warrior one of my favs growing up but by that time wrestling was changing and more towards the real type of characters
lito dat ...
See Mankind
Missed opportunity for Plumpy. On Ahmed Johnson. "There was a gold lining for the guy [besides the one gold dust left on his lips]..."
Austin 3:16 was in my hometown ^.^ Milwaukee got a piece of wrestling history
JR's favourite wrestler
#8 is wrong, Austin was actually stitched up backstage according to Dave Meltzer
Its really telling a black wrestler did not win any singles gold in WWE until 1996.... But then we've never had a black WWE champion.
VL 1 ...
The Rock?
Full black
Kay Jay The Rock was half Samoan and half black.
Still black.
So... The Rock is Purple then...🤔
You know what I like about King Ross? Not a goddamn thing.
Funny for how memorable this KotR was, it was damn horrible backstage.
...it was Austin. Austin keyed the car. Sorry.
Alert A LOT of First comments are coming

Fact #11: Michael P.S. Hayes is mouthing Austin's promo.
Kind of takes the bloom off of the rose, don't it?
Yeah, and there's no such thing as Santa Claus either.
Wait, Im wrong? But I guessed Uganda. This is rigged
Rejecting Diana is not proof of wrestling being "completely unrealistic", shows HBK had better taste than that.
Many didn’t know about how badly Stone Cold’s lip was after that matched. The legend was born that night.
No, mr.KIIIIING, i was rigth for Kamala's country. Guess i'm now an even sweatier mark...
Austin did not go to the Hospital. Listen to Something to Wrestle's episode on KOTR 96 for all the details
i knew it was uganda duh he was called the uganda giant come on wc W a little harder trivia than that lol love the vids keep them coming
I wish there was a warning before that loud, annoying and untalented "personality" Ross started talking at 6:21.
Is that a photoshopped picture of Adam (Plumpy) or did he actually act there, if it is him, anyone know what play and part?
Giving the RKO credit over the freaking Diamond Cutter is an injustice.
Is that really what John 3:16 says? I don’t feel like scrolling down to see irate rants from religious extremists
Ahmed Johnson or Ezekiel Jackson... Not sure what the difference is😂 (#NoToRacism )
I got the question about Kamala right not because I'm a dirty mark but because I'm a dirty racist.
Hello people who can't find decent jobs for a couple hundred people just because they can't pay them.
Oh and he never went to hospital he was stitched backstage Bruce Pritchard told us this on his podcast
King Ross you're the sweaty mark because I got it right and I'm 15 I wasn't even born then
I knew it was Uganda. Totally knew. Didn't wait for the answer or anything like that. 🙄
It's one word and two numbers. it's Austin 3;16 not Austin Three Sixteen.
so we all know shawn michaels keyed ahmed johnson's car, right? i mean, that makes the most sense.
Pretty sure Austin was stitched up back stage. Pritchard talked about it on his podcast
His name is "the Ugandan Giant", anyone who got that question wrong should be ashamed.
fact 11 every one of these guys can't fight. time to switch to UFC children
I HAD NO FUCKING IDEA THAT IT WOULD BE UGANDA AND JUST FUCKING GUESSED IT! FUCK YEAH!
4:42
I before E except after C.
The King Ross ad, isn't funny, it's just downright annoying honestly.
It was me who keyed Ahmed Johnsons car
Austin didn't go to the hospital, he was stitched up backstage, still bad ass tho
I know all about the Austin facts for King of the Ring 1996.
Bruce Prichard said stone cold really didn't go to the hospital.

wasnt the ad for at 3:16 ( ironically) about warrior university?
TFW you're the only one in the comment section old enough to remember that Mikey Whipwreck used the move as 'The Whippersnapper' first-- While Austin was with ECW. Probably a nod to a guy he got on with very well in the locker room.
Got a ad for Tim Hortons on this video. Thought you might like to know
Was I the Only one who miraculously got that question right?
The title makes me uncomfortable, it's not written in that order
Poor Ahmed :( Just...poor Ahmed.
Stone Cold originally had the stun gun, Cobra Clutch aka million dollar dream, Boston crab and STF. Mickey Whipwreck originally came up with the stunner which was called Whippersnapper which was meant to be a counter or a defensive move.
Didn't Prichard say Austin was stitched up at the arena?
Mitch Boisel yes he did! I was going to write that until I seen you posted it.
i feel bad because i keep getting king ross' questions correct
2 things you don't talk about. politics and religion.
bobo brazil was the first african american to win a singles belt in wwe
First
Nobody cares
And when Stu Hart called the offices, Jim Cornette thought it was either Tom or Bruce Pritchard doing an ace impression of Stu thinking Owen Hart was ribbing him :D
I know it wasn't on the actual show, but I'm surprised that horrible Stone Cold - Yokozuna match where Austin bounced off imaginary ropes wasn't included
am i the only one who popped after hearing the word "uganda"
I might be sweaty but I knew it was Uganda. Where else.
wrestling is awesome - do I get a like for being honest? 😃
Hey! It's not my fault I'm a sweaty mark. We brits can't cope with anything over 10 degrees so This heatwave is killing me lol
