If KOTR were to happen today...
 

Miz easily.

Miz or McIntyre.

Dark horses would be Dibiase, Morrison.

Good choices...i'lld probs change my pick to Drew.

Nah, MVPs going nowhere and being KOTR wouldn't help or really suit him imo.

Drew McIntyre, hands down!!!

I would go with Evan Bourne. Miz has money in the bank.

Dolph Ziggler

This.

Dibiase

then maryse could come out "ALL HAIL KING DIBIASE"

John Cena.

The KING...IS...HEEEEERE!

Miz, Dibiase, MVP could all pull it off... Maybe Morrison...

I think The Miz is an easy choice, but who knows. For every Stone Cold and Kurt Angle, you also have a Ken Shamrock and Billy Gunn.
They chose to give King of the Ring to Shamrock in 98 when The Rock was in contention and on his way to the main event.
So for all we know, if they held it tomorrow it could end up going to someone Vince is high on but the crowd isn't. Probably McIntyre.

Maybe they could have "Bling of the Ring."

Ziggler or DiBiase would be good choices.

Monte Sopp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While my personal choice would be someone like John Morrison; I could really see them giving it to Drew McIntyre. Hell, Jack Swagger would make an amazing King of the Ring, even though he has already won the World Title. The same goes for Chris Jericho.

Evan Bourne or Dolph Ziggler

The Great Khali.

:shifty:

If it had been going all this time and hadn't disappeared, Hornswoggle would've won it at some point.

If they held the King of the Ring tomorrow night, I'd definitely give it to a guy like Jack Swagger or Chris Jericho. The KOR needs an established guy to win it, play up the concept, and make sure that it's not some undercard tournament. I really wish the WWE would bring it back as as a PPV next year. June can be King of the Ring, July can be Money in the Bank and August can be SummerSlam. I might be enticed to buy all three.

Sorry, but Jericho wouldn't need the KOTR. Drew is the only person it should be given to at this point having thought about it. Swagger wouldn't need it either just now....

I don't think it's a case of needing it. I think KOR needs Jericho more than he needs the tournament. He'd just add to that list of guys who have won it and been considered a legend (Bret Hart, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H). He's going through a phase where he is putting guys over left right and centre, but he can do that with match quality alone.

If the tournament were still active, then I would agree that Drew McIntyre is the logical choice. Maybe even The Miz if they REALLY wanted to get him over as the next big guy.

I reckon Drew would give KOTR enough credibility and it would suit his gimmick perfectly as the chosen one, and getting more heat from the crowd.

Doesn't matter anyways, since MITB is basically KOTR now....

Evan Bourne on Raw & Cbavo Guerrero on Smackdown. Evan for te push & Chavo because he'd be like Regal was when he won it, someone with all the talent in the world that WWE isnt using right that could have a nice run promoting himself as KOTR.

I'd love to see Chavo Guerrero get a push, but it might be a bit watered down him winning the King of the Ring right now. I'd go with him and Dolph Ziggler being forced to team by Vickie Guerrero for a while (think how Stephanie McMahon forced Chris Benoit & Kurt Angle to team, except on a lower scale -- as the tag team scene seems to be these days). They have some great showings against The Hart Dynasty, and even win some non-title and six-man tags against them with partners. Then they lose a big title match, and Vickie chews out Chavo for letting the team down. Chavo is sick of being a bitch, and he asks for Vickie's microphone, and he is given it, but instead of saying anything, he nails Ziggler with it. Frog Splash, face turn.

From there, Chavo can work some good matches against Ziggler, and perhaps even get an Intercontinental Title run.

Cena and Cena. He would unify the otRs.

Kofi

This.

If we are mixing both brands then the starting eight would be...

Rhodes, DiBiase, Morrison, Ziggler, Bourne, McIntyre, Kofi, Christain.


Winner of those eight would be IMO McIntyre.

Damn I forgot Ziggler, Bourne & Christian... Kofi too... oops...

I would love to see Regal win it again.

erm, why? it did nothing for him before and it would be wasted on him again. this is what annoys me about people who love regal so much.

Barrett would be a good choice but might be too early for him....
