[The Gipper]

As announced last night, The King of The Ring tournament is back next week! Why do they always announce it like a week in advance? It’s called marketing!

[Grievous 3D]

Ricochet or Andrade...

I hope Chad Gable has a good showing...
the guy is a phenomenal worker.

I see "The Fiend" isn't in the tournament...
almost like the WWE has no "real" plans
for Bray.

Also...question for anyone actually watching
the product...but where did Aleister Black go?

 

[Rosie]

Predicting Drew.

The King of the Ring since 2008 has been "Which European will we give a Royal gimmick to?!"

That's a good call Beavie...

Of course knowing the WWE they will give it to Corbin
& give "King Corbin" more excuses to act like a twat
& kill the ratings.

 

[white crow]

Ricochet
Samoa Joe

Kevin Owens
Shelton Benjamin

Some of these SHOULD win, but since it’s WWE we’re talking about I highly doubt so

The fiend being in the kotr tournament would have to be the worse booking mistake ever. Fortunately they haven't done that.

He was on last weeks smackdown. The less he wrestles the better.

Care to explain why?

Having "The Slipknot Reject" I mean Fiend tear through
the field & win the KotR would actually be some kind of
push right?

Actually...you know what...never mind.

I don't care & I'm not doing this with you again.

Good day sir.

Having him wrestle every week will saturate him. Less is more. That's a well known and commonly used expression. Wanna know why? Because its fucking true.

Remember the last few KOTR?.. I'm expecting someone like Baron Corbin or Elias to win this and turn it into a comedy title.. They haven't taken this tournament seriously in years..

Nah Paul Heyman is calling the shots. Almost certainly won't be Elias or Corbin.

I'm expecting it to be Drew, Andrade, Joe, Cesaro or Ali. Someone who isn't an absolute joke and won't become a joke.

I say Elias will be knocked out in the first round.

Corbin may go far in the tournament but I wouldn't bet my horse on it.

Whatever gets him out of the horrible TGI Fridays waiter wrestling gear is fine with me.

Remember when Corbin dressed like a homeless
biker & actually looked dangerous & intimidating?

I do.

I guess. The skullet wasn't a good look though:

 

[Grievous 3D]

I had a "skullet" once...but then
I was deliberately trying to look
bad.

Corbin could have shaved his
head & kept the Biker attire &
gimmick.

 

[Mr. Roman Empire]

Would love to see Baron Corbin win this. It would get alot of heat. More likely we will see Drew or KO win. I bet thats the 2 guys in the final match.

Also im genuinely surprised WWE is going with King of the Ring and not having a Queen of the Ring tournament as well.
