WWE History Vol. 3: The Kings of Wrestling

The Third King: Hacksaw Jim Duggan

Finally, a King we can all relate to; Hacksaw Jim Duggan.

During Haku's reign as King, WWE decided that the crown could be a sort of unofficial 'third title' in the promotion. It would be used to give recognition and prestige to those Superstars who were otherwise deemed unfit to be World or Intercontinental champion.

Hacksaw Jim Duggan's reign began after he defeated Haku for the crown in a televised match. Despite being a member of royalty, Hacksaw would continue his blue-collar ways and goofy mannerisms.

Duggan's biggest match as King came against 'Ravishing' Rick Rude, who he challenged for the Intercontinental championship.

King Duggan also found success in tag team matches, teaming with Demolition to defeat old nemesis Andre the Giant and the Twin Towers.

However, no king reigns forever, and soon there would be a new man to wear the crown; Macho Man Randy Savage.

Despite winning limited titles with the WWE, Duggan holds the distinction of being one of the few superstars to have won both the title of the king and the Royal Rumble battle royal match.
