The Kings of Wrestling were a professional wrestling stable in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).
History[]
In 2004 vignettes were aired heralding the return of The Outsiders (Scott Hall & Kevin Nash) to wrestling. They made their debut by attacking Jeff Hardy with guitars during a NWA World Heavyweight Championship match against Jeff Jarrett. After the match, Nash cut a promo on how they were better than the entire TNA locker room and challenged anyone to oppose them. A.J. Styles accepted, but was beaten down by the new stable. Randy Savage then made his debut in TNA, entering the Impact Zone to face off with the heels.
On TNA Impact! the following week, Nash proclaimed the trio of himself, Hall, and Jarrett to be called "The Kings of Wrestling". The Kings wreaked havoc on multiple episodes of Impact! before being challenged and defeated by Savage, Styles and Hardy in a Six Man Tag Team Match at Turning Point. After the Six Man Tag Team Match, Savage was next in line for a title shot (having pinned the champ, Jarrett, in their previous encounter), but in light of him leaving the company, Director of Authority Dusty Rhodes appointed a three-way match at Final Resolution to achieve a number one contender to the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. The first two competitors announced were Diamond Dallas Page and Monty Brown. The third was Kevin Nash, Jarrett's ally in the Kings of Wrestling.
The group hit a period of friction, as Nash openly competed for the title shot at Final Resolution (losing when Page dumped him over the top rope) before earning a shot at Jarrett's NWA World Heavyweight Championship at Against All Odds. After the pay-per-view, the Kings of Wrestling parted ways.
