While it's not an annual event, WWE has been holding the tournament since 1985 and many wrestlers have used the tournament to springboard into huge names. The tournament certainly helped Steve Austin become Stone Cold, it helped Triple H break out of the pack and two months before he won his first world championship, Brock Lesnar was crowned king. Here's a look back at all of the kings over the years.
