No one can forget the iconic King Booker, with the crown on his head, the royal robe down his shoulders and the World Heavyweight Championship belt around his waist. Booker T beat Bobby Lashley in the finals on Judgement Day, in which he was aided by typical distractions and interferences from Sharmell and Finlay.

An 11-time WCW Tag Team Champion and a six-time World Champion, Booker T left WWE in 2007 but returned in the biggest Royal Rumble in WWE history in 2011. He became the General Manager of SmackDown Live in 2012, and he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013. You could hear his familiar voice in the commentary on Monday Night Raw, SmackDown Live and pay-per-view events. The legend also recently gave his thoughts on the King of the Ring tournament this year.

Since breaking through to the scene in 2002, Brock Lesnar has gone on to become one of the greatest Superstars in WWE. Within three months of his in-ring debut, The Next Big Thing defeated Rob van Dam to not only win the 2002 King of The Ring but also a shot at the Undisputed title in the following SummerSlam.

Lesnar has come a long way since then. Returning to WWE in 2012 after a spell in UFC, he's had a string of incredible achievements. He ended the Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania 30, humiliated the then 15-time World Champion John Cena in one of the most one-sided title matches ever seen, and held the record of the longest reigning Champion in WWE history.

Lesnar recently lost his Universal Title to Seth Rollins at SummerSlam.There were talks of him getting a rematch, but it seems The Beast will have to wait before he can get another title shot. But whenever he does return, he will surely bring with him a world of carnage and pain for his would-be target.

Who's your pick to win this year's King of The Ring?
