After being embarrassed by Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania IX, Yokozuna challenged the new champion to a match at the 1993 King of the Ring Premium Live Event. Just when it looked like Hogan was gaining the upper hand, a crooked photographer leapt onto the apron and shot a fireball from his camera into Hogan’s face. Yokozuna then added insult to injury and used Hogan’s leg drop to finish off the champion.

Yokozuna’s impressive reign as WWE Champion lasted more than nine months.
