The King of the Rock returned to Alcatraz Island for its fourth year and once again, it did not disappoint. With the early elimination of two-time defending champ Hugh “Baby Shaq” Jones, contestants knew there would a changing of the guard this year at Red Bull’s one-on-one tournament in San Francisco.
