Where's Awesome Kong?

[Dod Draper]

Kong signed with WWE a few weeks back and was widely expected to debut at the Royal Rumble. She didn't though, and still hasn't been seen since then.

So where is she? Why aren't WWE debuting her yet?

Moreover, where will she slot in when she does debut?

 

[Troy]

I had thought that the Royal Rumble would have been the perfect PPV for her to debut so that she could be built up for a match at Wrestlemania. Now it seems like the earliest she will be introduced is at Wrestlemania interferring in the womens title match. I can't see her debuting at Elimination Chamber simply because I doubt there will be a divas match on the card. If there is I suppose she could debut there and it would give enough time to get her into a Wrestlemania match. The more this is delayed the more worried I am that WWE will screw this up.

I'm with Troy on that. Royal Rumble wouldv'e been a perfect chance to debut her. But they failed by putting Eve into the title match. I really don't know what they are going to do with her. She isn't like any other diva they have had before. Bertha Faye was probably the last one they had like her.

The only thing I can think of them doing is they will have a Diva Battle Royal at Wrestlemania. After all the Divas are in the ring she comes out and then she goes crazy. It won't make any of the divas weak (like that can happen) It would be a nice strong debut for her. But I really don't see anyone besides (Natayla, Phoenix, and Kim) giving her a real match. If WWE focuses on the Divas like they have done before.

I would suspect she is going to debut after Mania, most of the of new signees usually debut after the big show.

If Awesome Kong is signed to the WWE I really don't understand why she didn't make her debut at the Royal Rumble during the Divas Championship match, it would of been perfect like you guys have said. Eve being placed into the match was an epic fail and her winning the Divas Championship was even more of a fail. She hasn't been in the title picture for ages and then all of a sudden she's in it and is the new champion. I do think that they were thinking of having Kong debut instead though I think that's what they were teasing when they added another Diva to the match. Kong should of just came in and destroyed everyone. It would be good to see her debut at the Elimination Chamber so then she can be in a match at WrestleMania, but that looks unlikely with no Divas Title match announced that I know of? She could debut on RAW though I guess. I have a feeling she'll actually turn up at Mania taking everyone out.

 

[The New F'n Show]

With Deezy here. Don't expect it until after Mania now. She will be interfering in her debut I would think.

 

[Deezy]

The way I see her being booked, it's probably going to mirror Umaga's. We all knew he was on the way, we were waiting on everyweek before Mania, and we did the same for Goldberg as well since we knew he signed with WWE prior to Mania 19. This is why I figured out she would be debuting after Mania, can't let someone like Kong be lost in the shuffle of Rock, Taker and Trips returning.

 

[Troy]

I forgot that Eve was champion. I really hope that Eve loses the Diva's championship before Kong debuts. Eve vs Kong isn't a match I want to see it needs to be someone like Natalya, Beth Phoenix or Gail Kim. I suppose she could start outside the championship but it will still look bad if someone like Eve is champion when Kong and Natalya start wrestling matches not for the title.

You guys are probably right about the RAW after Wrestlemania call. If they didn't debut her at the Royal Rumble they will probably wait and give the big paydays to the current roster before bringing her in.

 

[Deezy]

I figure Eve would be a sacrificial lamb for Kong, can't get better heat than beating the shit out of the new "it" girl for WWE. Probably build her up for Natalya and Beth Pheonix. That would be an insane Triple threat imo, imagine the workrate.

 

[Troy]

Do people care enough for Eve? I remember at the Rumble when the extra participant was announced as Eve the crowd was completely dead for her. For Kong to get supreme heel heat the fans will need to buy Eve as a face otherwise they may end up cheering a beatdown by Kong.

Kong vs Natalya vs Beth Phoenix would result in the best women's match seen in WWE for a long long time. It would be an incredible match and hopefully WWE eventually book it for a PPV.

 

[Deezy]

This is just an example of the sad state the Divas division is in right now, the faces are null and void. None outside of Kelly Kelly and Natalya and Beth Phoenix, I guess they can try and get Eve to be sypathetic, they've made magic with lesser divas. They do have the luxury of atleast a full month and a half to do it. But yeah, hard to take the girl who was dancing for R-Truth seriously as a champion.

Imagine if Kong was around when Trish Stratus was around. Would've made Trish and Jazz look like Mickie and Laycool. And I was a fan of the Jazz/Trish feud. I was actually a big fan of the Divas division during that time actually.

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

Divas division fell off around 2005 I think. Lita, Trish, Jazz, Gail Kim were all terrific wrestlers. I have no idea what their doing with Kong, but hopefully they use her eventually. It will most likely be after Wrestlemania, although at Wrestlemania would be interesting.
