WWE reportedly scheduling Backlash and King of the Ring for May

[Cwalker]

Regal was a good KotR

Forgot about him.

Drugs really killed what could’ve been a great heel run. GM, KOTR and World Champion.

I like prestigious tournies but also with CWalker that the royal gimmick is trash

 

[Order]

King of the Ring winner should be the title challenger at SummerSlam. Would immediately add prestige to it and make it a big deal. Can make it the same for the women as well.

I've said this forever, do it like they did Brock in 2002. I thought it made a nice little "Road to SummerSlam"

Could work in theory since there's only MITB between KOTR and SummerSlam.

Yeah I think in 02 they did KOTR in June, had Vengeance or something in July and then SummerSlam in August

Yeah Brock won KOTR in June, Rick won the title in July then dropped it in August

In THEORY?! KING THEORY! Austin Theory wins King of the Ring. Then main events Summerslam vs. UWWEU Champion Cody Rhodes.


Honestly the whole 2 PLEs in May is slightly overblown. They're 3 weeks apart and the next PLE is 5 weeks after that, instead of 4 weeks between the 2. Considering the minimal build needed for a tournament it makes sense.

Also, I like the Saudi shows being on holiday weekends. It means the holiday weekend Smackdown would be taped the week prior.

Of course that means we'll get 5 weeks of superstars building "momentum" for the Money in The Bank Ladder Match... God help us.

Moving two ppvs the month aew has theirs huh

 

[King Kota]

Crown Jewel wouldn't be a bad place for kotr and qotr due to name.

Royal Decree

 

[King Kota]

Whoever wins kotr should bring in MMM as their court jesters lol fuck it give me King O.tis

[King Kota]

Just call it Crown Jewel and have the tournaments in it not the dumb name lol

 

[Dale]

Calling it Crown Jewel is generic af and totally misses the selling point though

What about Crowning Moment then? I mean calling it K&Q of the ring pretty generic to isn't?
