King of the Ring returning next month
 

From PWInsider:

The King of the Ring tournament will be resurrected once again by WWE for the 11/29 three hour episode of Raw in Philadelphia, PA.

Interesting.

Ya, read the press release. I don't like these 3 hour KotR tournaments so much, it was so much fun when spread over 2 months or so.

Black Cena wins.

Seriously though, it'll more than likely be either Del Rio, Punk, or Morrison that wins it.

Barrett will win it me thinks.

Awesome. Would be pretty cool if they held qualifiers on Raw and Smackdown the week (or weeks) before to hype it and make it look as big as it used to, but they probably wont.

This means one of three things.

1. William Regal will be getting a new tron.
2. William Regal is winning, so they don't have to make a new tron.
3. William Regal will be released, so they don't have to make a new tron.

I respectfully disagree...

Imagine if the "win" Santino got over Sheamus was just the start of a King Santino run???

Point conceded.

Yaaaaaaaay......now bring back Brawl for All.

Dolph Ziggler is winning. You heard it here first!

Would be good if they included both Smackdown and Raw wrestlers so then Swagger would have a chance to own two crowns.

If Swagger won, he could give his King of Oklahoma crown to the Swagga Eagle and keep the KotR crown for himself.

Don't really care if it is only one night... make it over a month and with 32 (or even 64) wrestlers and WWE will have my interest.....

Im excited for it, KOTR was a great concept, would be better to be spread over time but one night only is good, never know maybe WWE will see people want this and make it a regular event again, we can live in hope can't we.

I wish it was a PPV instead of MITB.

Just hope nobody shit like Regal wins it this time. Wut a letdown.

I agree. Have 16 wrestlers in qualifying matches to determine the entire tournament.

But what's the point of expanding it to the point to include wrestlers that have no chance of winning? Does that really make it that much better that it would grab your interest?

16 guys is well enough, take the top 8 midcard guys from each brand and have them face each other in branded qualifiers and you have a PPV quality tournament ready to go.

I liked the last King of the Ring quite a bit, and it was a three-hour deal.

Yeah, Regal and Punk had an awesome match

Here's who I'd have in a 16 man tournament.

RAW
Punk
Danielson
Zeke
Husky or McGillicutty
Ryder
Regal (only because he would be defending)
Morrison
Truth

SmackDown!
Christian
Ziggler
Rhodes
Swagger
Kofi
MVP
Kaval
McIntyre

They have plenty of talent to fill out a 16 man tournament. 32 is pushing it mainly because I don't think I could pull 16 half-decent guys from RAW. SD wouldn't be that big of a challenge. They have the stronger undercard in terms of amount of talent.

Will they crown the new King of the Ring on RAW that night?

This is awesome, I am a HUGE supporter of King of the Ring, it was always my favorite PPV as a kid. I hope this bodes a great push for somebody.

I mean Daniel Bryan by the way.

Probably, but with it being over 4 weeks away, plans will probably change at least a dozen times.

'King Kofi Kingston' and then they can change his gimmick to a white supremist and have him wrestle in a white hooded robe and shit. That would be sik.

Would be awesome if it meant anything at all.

Way back when, if a guy won king of the ring, he'd be in line for a decent push at the very least. Now, a guy wins and "Yay _________ won KOTR" and then moving right along...

Miz or go home.

There are plenty of guys on the roster worthy of winning this

I'm glad the King of the Ring is back. There are so many guys who could use the win. John Morrison, CM Punk, Jack Swagger, Dolph Ziggler, The Miz, Kofi Kingston, Alberto Del Rio, Sheamus and even Santino Marella could get a boost from it (if it turned into something). My prediction right now is that Morrison wins it. There seems to be renewed interest in pushing him, and I think the time is now. Especially with The Miz holding the Money in the Bank briefcase. Let those guys rise up together.

Booker T won the World Heavyweight Title, and Regal might have as well, if he didn't get suspended for a wellness policy violation. He was lined up to feud with Kennedy, who was main event at the time.

FUCK YEAH is all I have to say!

What the fuck are you going on about? The last 3 winners were Lesnar, Booker and Regal.

Lesnar went on to get the biggest push in history and beat the rock at Summer Slam.

4 year downtime.

Booker won, started the King booker gimmick, wont the WHC, Started a Stable, won Night of Champions over Big Show and Cena (or whomever was raws champ) and held the title for a long reign then left the WWE.

Regal got a monster push and was Raws GM as well. He was in for a huge push that had already started and then he got popped for Wellness.

Basically you are a fucking idiot

Served...

In all honesty, the only guys who got nothing from winning KotR were Mabel and Billy Gunn.

I liked in 2002 when the winner would receive the Summerslam title shot, it made it more important than it was already.

I'm kind of glad they don't do that now. It seems it's too easy to get a title shot these days. Win the RR, get a title shot. Win the MitB, get a title shot. Win NXT, get a title shot.

Be John Cena, get a title shot. Be Batista, get a title shot.
