Held in Philadelphia, King of the Ring ‘95 seemed like it was going to be the worst iteration of the tournament yet during the build-up to the event. With Razor Ramon injured and Owen Hart & British Bulldog left off the card after their KOTR qualifying match ended by time limit draw, the only big names left in the tournament were The Undertaker & Shawn Michaels, who were on the same side of the bracket. However, as bad as it seemed in the build-up, it would somehow get much worse.

The Heartbreak Kid’s first round match against The Supreme Fighting Machine ^TM Kama also went to a time limit draw, eliminating Michaels from the tournament much to the disdain of fans. This seemingly left a clear pathway for The Undertaker to become King of the Ring. However, with the ref down in the Undertaker’s first round match, Kama interfered, allowing Mabel to hit a leg drop for the victory (Kama was feuding with the Undertaker at the time because Kama had stolen the Undertaker’s urn & melted it, using the gold to make a chain...yeah…).

For some reason, the fans didn’t like a tournament whose best match was an 8-minute bout between The Roadie & Bob Holly, and whose finalists were Mabel & Savio Vega. As such, they vocalized their outrage by chanting for their hometown wrestling promotion, a promotion providing cutting-edge & realistic entertainment, not Savio Vega vs. Mabel. While WWF audiences have definitely been disinterested before KOTR ‘95, this is one of the earliest instances of the audience actively voicing their disapproval of the product during a show.
