Why did they stop running K.O.T.R.?

By Scott Keith on 15 January 2019


Speaking of The King Of The Ring, do you know why the WWE stopped running it every year as a PPV? I have heard that Vince doesn't care for tournaments. Would that have anything to do with it, and/or did it not draw well on pay per view?

Vince dislikes tournaments and the 2002 show in particular was a giant flop, doing one of the lowest buyrates of the year for the company. Honestly I would have killed it too if I was him.
