When a champion is crowned they become an icon of that event. They are the personification of the highest honor that can be achieved. Therefore, they have everything to lose, and almost nothing to gain - almost. That is because a true champion never backs down to challengers. Old rivals or new foes, they are ready at all times to prove once again why they are the best in the world at what they do. All adversaries better know - You come at the King (or Queen), you best not miss.

Whatever it is, these showmen cause audience members to keep coming back for more - if only to see what they will do next.
