On this day in Pro Wrestling history on June 28, 1998, the World Wrestling Federation aired ‘King of the Ring 1998’ LIVE on PPV from the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

This was the 6th annual “King of the Ring” pay-per-view out of 10 that aired from 1993 till 2002.

Other King of the Ring tournaments that were held in 1985-1989, 1991, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2015 & 2019 happened either during House Shows or during weekly TV shows.

This pay-per-view is known for two reasons: it featured the most brutal Hell in a Cell match of all time (Undertaker vs. Mankind) and Kane’s first & only WWF Championship victory.
