Niners Fan in CT 12,770 Posted August 17 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eivion 2,548 Posted August 17 I'm guessing the final for King of the Ring will be Ricochet/Almas. I just don't know who wins between them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice Guy Eddie 19,315 Posted August 17 I wonder how long before we get an Andrade/Zelina split with Charlotte attacking Zelina and Aleister coming to her aid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
West Newbury Bad Boy 9,533 Posted August 17 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 by Nice Guy Eddie 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
West Newbury Bad Boy 9,533 Posted August 17 (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 2,229 Posted August 17 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
West Newbury Bad Boy 9,533 Posted August 17 (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 by West Newbury Bad Boy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andrade getting the “King” moniker could add something to his act. I can’t see it adding anything to Ricochets. That is also my predicted final. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

West Newbury Bad Boy 9,533 Posted August 17 I love that some of you have enough faith in them to fantasy book something that could be considered the correct final between the hottest prospects from each side of the bracket.

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.

Peck 3,801 Posted August 17 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
