WWF JUNE 1995

Jerry Lawler and Bret Hart had been feuding for almost exactly two years on and off starting at King of the Ring 1993. The feud had gone from Lawler insulting Bret Hart’s mother to challenging him to a match where the loser must kiss the others foot. Lawler claimed that not only would he end Hart’s career once and for all, but that he wasn’t going to wash his feet in order to really embarrass Hart.

At the King of the Ring, their wasn’t much to be happy about. Yokozuna, Shawn Michaels, and The Undertaker were all favored to go deep in the tournament. However, in a attempt to create new stars, all three men were eliminated during the Quarter finals by Vega, Kama via draw, and Mabel respectively. Vega and Mabel would reach the finals where Mabel would defeat Vega to become King Mabel, a heel. Bret Hart embarrassed Jerry Lawler by not only beating him but also by having Lawler kiss his foot. In the main event of the evening, Bam-Bam Bigelow alongside Diesel got revenge as they defeated Sid and Tatanka. It should be noted that during the Mabel/Vega finals match their was a large “ECW” chant. This was because the show was being held in Philadelphia and the fans were not happy with what they were witnessing. Vince McMahon took notice and in the coming outlines, even worked with ECW.
