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.

Why? What happened?

NXT's going to the USA Network and AEW sold out weeks 2 & 3 of their TV.

Andrade.

So they can do the King & Queen thing, with him and Charlotte?

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. 

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.

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.

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.

Bryan and Brie were pretty bad too.

Real heel couples are the exception. Like most things with heels really. They are always the better on screen version of a wrestlers personality.

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.

How dare you question the sanctity of this made for tv wedding proposal!

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. Haven’t you been hurt enough? 

*shrug* I enjoy pain.

How come Rey Mysterio never won KotR? He's got King in his name before he even starts!

Lana and Rusev say hello... from catering. Good job, writers!

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.

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.

Rusev, no. Lana, yes.

hashtag gentlemen prefer blondes

hopefully, coming from wrestling families, both Charlotte & Andrade know it’s best to keep real life relationships from becoming on-screenones.

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.
