Niners Fan in CT Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I'm wondering how much of the King of the Ring will be an effort to have standout matches or an effort to be good shit. This can be a really great tournament if they want it to be. I'm loving some of the first round match ups on paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I'm guessing the final for King of the Ring will be Ricochet/Almas. I just don't know who wins between them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I wonder how long before we get an Andrade/Zelina split with Charlotte attacking Zelina and Aleister coming to her aid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Given how poorly Seth and Becky came off on screen together, there shouldn't be any rush to put more real couples together. Especially when what Andrade and Zelina have isn't broken. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when what Andrade and Zelina have isn't broken. Since he's an easy scapegoat, I'll blame Seth for he and Becky coming off badly together. Being paired against Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans doesn't do anyone any favors either. Edited August 17, 2019 by Nice Guy Eddie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) I’d happily blame Becky too. But everyone already knows I find her a bit wooden as a performer. I won’t blame their opponents for their lack of chemistry as a couple. Corbin needs to fuck off for at least a year and his staleness is hurting any program he’s in, but we already know that.

HumanChessgame Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 After how forced everything with Cena and Nikki came off a while back, they shouldn't put IRL couples together unless they were a package deal beforehand. Maintaining a relationship under those sorts of circumstances is undoubtedly difficult enough without getting storylines worked in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Bryan and Brie were pretty bad too. Exception to that rule would be Miz and Maryse. They’re aces. Jimmy and Naomi were also decent on MMC if memory serves. Edited August 17, 2019 by West Newbury Bad Boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is also my predicted final. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Lana and Rusev could hang out in catering..... Security wouldn't believe them when they claimed they worked for the WWE and they'd be escorted out of the building. To be fair, Vince probably doesn't remember who Rusev is either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peck Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Random, but one of my favorite things right now is how excited Missy Hyatt gets on Twitter catching up with old workers at wrestling conventions. Say what you will about some of the decisions she's made in the past but you can tell she truly loves and appreciates the business. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t you been hurt enough? I think people see the way the marketing team is advertising this, and they assume this will the WWE’s answer to the G1. But they forget who’s still running the show, and why he books a tournament with that specific gimmick.
