Niners Fan in CT Posted August 17, 2019 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.

Eivion Posted August 17, 2019 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

Nice Guy Eddie Posted August 17, 2019 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.
John from Cincinnati Posted August 17, 2019 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

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
John from Cincinnati Posted August 17, 2019 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 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.
John from Cincinnati Posted August 17, 2019 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

John from Cincinnati Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 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? 3

AxB Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 How come Rey Mysterio never won KotR? He's got King in his name before he even starts!
John from Cincinnati Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 I’d completely forgotten Sheamus won KOTR. His kayfabe resume is bananas. 1

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.
Peck Posted August 17, 2019 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

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. 2

But they forget who’s still running the show, and why he books a tournament with that specific gimmick. Edited August 17, 2019 by LoneWolf&Subs
