1996 Finals Recap:
The 1996 finals was one of the wildest brawls in history. The two Texans started throwing punches as soon as the bell rang. Soon the fight spilled into the crowd and both men were counted out. But WWF President Gorilla Monsoon declared that there must be a winner, so he ordered the match to resume with no countouts and no disqualification.
The two men continued to battle and neither were shy about using weapons. Austin even knocked out commentator Vince McMahon with a errant chairshot. As the two men finally returned to the ring, Bradshaw hit the Lariat out of nowhare but Austin somehow kicked out. Bradshaw then tried to choke Austin out with his bullrope but Stone Cold countered with a kick to the balls. Austin followed with a Stunner for the win. On the victory stand Austin delivered a promo that would change both his career and the WWF itself.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN YOUR 1996 KING OF THE RING:
KING AUSTIN THE COLD!!!!

One year later and it's tournament time again. This year the tournament will be only three rounds. The winners of these matches will head back to The Providence Civic Center for the PPV on June 8, 1997. Who will be there? Time to vote.
