Although the [[King of the Ring]] tournament was first made into a pay-per-view event in [[2007]], the original [[King of the Ring]] tournament was actually held in [[2006]]. was the first [[King of the Ring]] in [[2006]].

===Pay-per-view===
The [[King of the Ring]] was an event in which typically sixteen wrestlers wrestled in a one-on-one [[wikipedia:tournament|single elimination bracket]]. When a wrestler wins a match in the bracket, they advance to take on another wrestler that has also won. The final few matches would then take place at that year's [[King of the Ring]] event. The winner of the final match is officially crowned the [[King of the Ring]]. There were also other matches that took place at the [[King of the Ring]] event since it was a traditional three hour pay-per-view.

While some believe that the new [[King of the Ring]] traditionally receives a [[CCW World Heavyweight Champion|CCW Championship]] shot at the [[One Night Stand]] pay-per-view, this only became an established rule in [[2006]]. More important than an actual title shot was the prestige of winning the tournament itself; some wrestlers, usually heel wrestlers, have made being king an integral part of their gimmick, and, in general, the winner of the [[King of the Ring]] is a wrestler whom management has picked to advance in the storylines and be the next breakout star. A number of wrestlers have had huge successes after winning the tournament, while some wrestlers have admittedly been "flops" as king, and continued to be treated as lower card wrestlers after winning the tournament.
