Alright, let’s talk about this “King of the Ring QR Code” thing. I don’t know much about these fancy codes, but my grandson showed me somethin’ similar once. Said it was like a magic picture that takes you somewhere on that internet thingy.

So, this King of the Ring QR Code, it popped up durin’ that wrestlin’ show, the WWE one. You know, the one with all them fellas in tights jumpin’ around and smackin’ each other? Yeah, that one. Apparently, this code showed up before one of the big fights, the one for the “Intercontinental Championship,” whatever that is. Sounds important, I guess.
- First Thing First: Now, when folks scanned this code with their phones – you know, those little gadgets everyone’s always starin’ at – it took them to a video.
- What’s in the Video: This video, from what I hear, showed some computer stuff, like connectin’ to somethin’, and then a fella playin’ a wrestlin’ game. A video game, mind you, not real wrestlin’. Then this fella in the game goes to a door and says “hello.” And somethin’ – a picture, maybe? – showed up in the window.
Now, they say this code got people talkin’ because it might mean some wrestler is comin’ back. A fella named Uncle Howdy, or maybe a whole group of wrestlers like a family, a “Wyatt Family” they called it. I dunno these folks, but apparently, they’re a big deal to the wrestlin’ fans. Makes ’em all excited and whatnot.
This QR code thing, it seems like a clever way to get folks interested, you know? Like hidin’ a little surprise for them to find. My grandson, he’s always lookin’ for these codes on them boxes of cereal and stuff. Says he gets discounts or somethin’. Same kinda thing, I reckon.
So, how do you use these codes? Well, from what I gather, you gotta have this “Ring device” or look at the box the product came in. Then you use this “Ring app” – that’s another one of them phone programs – and point your phone camera at the code. Like takin’ a picture, but not really. And then, poof! It takes you somewhere. Magic, I tell ya!
Now, sometimes these things don’t work right away. My grandson’s always fussin’ with his phone, movin’ it closer and farther away from the code tryin’ to get it to work. Says the phone needs to “focus,” whatever that means. Young folks and their fancy words, I swear.

And then there’s this talk about bein’ a king or a queen. Like in wrestlin’, they got these “King Booker” and “Queen Sharmell” folks. Sounds like they acted all high and mighty, like real royalty. But in real life, bein’ a king or queen just means bein’ the best at somethin’, I guess. Like my sister-in-law, she makes the best darn apple pie in the county. She’s the queen of pies, I tell ya!
So, this King of the Ring QR code, it’s all about gettin’ folks excited and makin’ them wanna know more. It’s like a little mystery, a little puzzle to solve. And in this day and age, with everyone glued to their phones, it seems like a pretty smart way to get their attention. I still prefer a good old-fashioned newspaper, myself. But hey, times are changin’, I guess.
QR codes, WWE, King of the Ring, Uncle Howdy, Wyatt Family – these are the words my grandson says people are searchin’ for on that internet. So, if you’re lookin’ for more information, you can use those words. But be careful, that internet can be a confusing place. Full of all sorts of things you don’t need to see.
Anyway, that’s the gist of it. A code, a video, some wrestlers, and a whole lot of fuss. Just another day in this crazy world, I reckon.
