Preview:King me!
April 21, 2008

As WWE Superstars return from the rich, royal tradition of the United Kingdom to American shores, the stars of Raw, SmackDown and ECW will compete for their own unique crowning glory.

For the first time in two years, a new King of the Ring will be decided in a one-night tournament that commences in the very first hour of a special three-hour episode of Raw, live from the BI-LO Center in Greenville, S.C.

Eight competitors will have to defeat multiple opponents in a single night to be coronated with the treasured crown and robe that WWE Legends and Hall of Famers such as Harley Race, “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, Bret “Hitman” Hart, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Edge have worn during their illustrious careers.

WWE.com is also proud to break the news of a blockbuster match added to Raw tonight. An Eight-Man Tag Team Match will feature the Backlash main events from Raw, SmackDown and ECW. World Heavyweight Champion Undertaker, ECW Champion Kane, John Cena & Triple H will take on WWE Champion Randy Orton, Edge, JBL & Chavo Guerrero. With just six days until Backlash, will these teams be able to function together, or will Raw see the combustible combinations implode?

Watching the King of the Ring tournament live at BI-LO Center will be Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, who have been invited to settle their Democrat differences in Greenville. What will happen as these two titans of the political world face off in the WWE ring? Will their confrontation finally end their stalemate on the road to their party’s presidential nomination? Watch: WWE's invite

With Shawn Michaels and Batista at odds over HBK’s retirement of WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair at WrestleMania XXIV, look for sparks to fly if the two cross paths in the tournament or if they match up with their special guest referee at Backlash, Chris Jericho.

Also, the Divas cheered as Mickie James ended The Glamazon’s dominance, stunning fans worldwide to claim her fourth Women’s Championship. How will Beth Phoenix react to the loss? And will other Divas look to challenge the new champion, making her new reign a short one?

Find out as a king is crowned on Monday Night Raw, airing live at a special start time of 8/7 CT, only on USA Network.

Awesome! That means I can get a few more games of Pro Evo Soccer in!

Just went up to "Professional" level having done the treble in the Master League the season before.

Currently I've won 9 from 9 and I'm on a 20 game winning streak in the league apparently.

I'm calling Big Show vs. Khali with it ending in a draw, Kennedy will win the next match and advance to the finals.

Azriel
04-21-2008, 08:29 PM

Well, Khali's going to at least advance next round, unless Show helps Finlay.

Rubbish match really killed the run of decent (albeit short) matches so far.

ClockShot
04-21-2008, 08:34 PM
Is Finlay due for a vaca or something?

Azriel
04-21-2008, 08:34 PM
so, I take it Finlay's taking some time off?

Londoner
04-21-2008, 08:34 PM
khali really can't wrestle, im not looking forward to this at backlash

Jeritron
04-21-2008, 08:34 PM
They're booking a wrestling show. Theres a PPV sunday. I dont see whats so bad. There'll be at least 3 more good matches in this tourney

Londoner
04-21-2008, 08:35 PM
rest of the card however makes up for it

Azriel
04-21-2008, 08:35 PM
Kill him Show.

Fabien Barthez

Sorry about taking so long XL, unfortunately, you've missed all the good stuff. :(

Londoner
04-21-2008, 08:35 PM
jeritron, it just killed some momentum badly thats all really.

KingofOldSchool
04-21-2008, 08:37 PM
Well whoever wins the next match will make it to the finals (Kennedy).

Fabien Barthez
04-21-2008, 08:38 PM
Hopefully Kennedy vs Someone next :D

Let's guess.... Im going right out there and saying Hacksaw Jim Duggan.

KingofOldSchool
04-21-2008, 08:38 PM
Finlay needs to be stretchered so he can make it to his photo-op on the throne.

KingofOldSchool
04-21-2008, 08:39 PM
Hopefully Kennedy vs Someone next :D

Let's guess.... Im going right out there and saying Hacksaw Jim Duggan.

I'm say Kennedy vs. either HBK or Batista

A Regal vs Finlay match would be nice. One of the few guys in WWE who could actually complement Regal's style.

Linkbowler
04-21-2008, 08:41 PM
Could Regal even get the little bastard in the Regal Stretch?

KingofOldSchool
04-21-2008, 08:41 PM
Is Regal going to win KOTR?

Londoner
04-21-2008, 08:41 PM
way to make KOTR fucking joke

I hope Shawn replaces Finlay

Fox
04-21-2008, 08:42 PM
Fox is too lazy to read the whole thread.

Someone give me a rundown of what's happened so far and I'll throw you some rep.

Londoner
04-21-2008, 08:42 PM
WELL THAT WAS ENTERTAINING

Linkbowler

And the tournament is ruined. Ridiculous.

CM Punk or Y2J for the win. Ridiculous.

Is Regal going to be tonight's answer to Mankind at Survivor Series 1998?

Jeritron

It's a split brand event right. I'd like to see Finlay unable to compete and Teddy Long appoint Shawn

and as I typed it...not happening

KingofOldSchool
04-21-2008, 08:43 PM

CM Punk or Y2J for the win. Ridiculous.

I actually think Regal is going to win just because of the way things are being booked.

NeanderCarl
04-21-2008, 08:44 PM
Well, it started SO promisingly in the first half of the brackets, then absolutely scraped the barrel in the second half.

Splaya

Seriously if they keep showing this crisis core shit, they better show me my Final Fantasy 7 remake

Fabien Barthez
04-21-2008, 08:44 PM
Although Mr Kennedy has fallen down the toilet it would seem. I quite like Regal in this, and he could play a 'King' gimmick better than most IMO.

Azriel
04-21-2008, 08:44 PM
Regal's already GM. Why make him King of the Ring as well?

Londoner
04-21-2008, 08:44 PM
started out sow ell and they ruined it in the 2nd half of the 1st round

KingofOldSchool
04-21-2008, 08:45 PM
I love the prospect of a Regal/Punk final.

HTrain90
04-21-2008, 08:45 PM
I just want to take a moment to give a hearty "I told you so" to the people who thought the biggest names would be in the KOTR.

But really, what a shit ending. The first two matches were hot, and it looked like we'd get a nice little tournament, even if there were no mega stars. Then we got shat on.

Azriel
04-21-2008, 08:45 PM
I've always wondered what is going on in that above the influence commercial? Did that guy rape a girl?

Splaya
04-21-2008, 08:46 PM
I actually think Regal is going to win just because of the way things are being booked.

You're dead on. In the past few years, when they've had some form of a big tournament, they've always had a heel midcarder win it.

Regal = heel midcarder, although we think more higher of him.

Jericho- The only way he gets the win, is if they are gonna turn him on Sunday

CM PUNK- Does not need the win

Finlay- Doesnt need the win.

Gonna be Jericho vs Regal in the finals

Jeritron
04-21-2008, 08:46 PM
I had absolutely no problem with one of those wasted matches for storyline purposes. But it's stupid to throw away a whole side of the bracket.

The only hope now is that Finlay is replaced by someone awesome.

If not,
There's also still potential for 2 amazing matches in Jericho/Punk and the winner of that vs Regal

Still a bit dissapointed, but I'm still gonna enjoy those 2 matches

KingofOldSchool
04-21-2008, 08:46 PM
Although Mr Kennedy has fallen down the toilet it would seem. I quite like Regal in this, and he could play a 'King' gimmick better than most IMO.

He's basically played that kind of gimmick most of his American career.

Fox
04-21-2008, 08:46 PM
Clean finishes to Jericho/MVP and Punk/Hardy? Good matches?

Jeritron
04-21-2008, 08:48 PM
That event in the bull fighting arena in Spain looked awesome. I'd love to see that

04-21-2008, 08:48 PM
Yeah fox.

NeanderCarl

It's like the WWE are taunting the fans with the first two matches... "this is what we are capable of (Jericho vs MVP, Punk vs Hardy)... and THIS is what we're giving you (Khali vs Finlay, Regal vs Hornswoggle).... now go buy yourselves a nice little pot of sticky-sticky and fuck off."

Londoner

EXACTLY CARL.

Well, aristocracy for sure, a king gimmick would be different, but I get ya.

I mean, his name is Regal FFS.

KingofOldSchool
04-21-2008, 08:49 PM
Wouldn't "King Regal" be kind of redundant?
