King of the Ring used to be a staple event for the WWE, joining WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, and the Royal Rumble as the Big 5 Pay-Per-Views for the company until the event’s cancellation in 2002.

In 2001 WWE had the creative juices flowing with this set creation. The most defining characteristic of the set is the giant throne that towers over the entranceway, giving the event a “Big Fight Feel”. Also featured on the entrance stage were large glass panels adorned with the King of the Ring Symbols, (you may remember them from the match that saw Kurt Angle suplex Shane McMahon through two of these panels).
