Ok so who wins the KotR? (Contains spoilers.)
 
Ok so with the 8 participants chosen for the KotR next week on Raw, who of these guys has the best chance to win it and jump into the main event scene?

Raw

John Morrison-He has to be the Raw hands on favorite, yes I know Danielson is in it too, but I really don't see the US Champ winning the KotR sadly. Morrison winning would be a huge way to get him to that next level, especially if they turn him heel afterwards, as they've done with many a KotR winners.

Ezekial Jackson-It's a long shot, but he has the size to win. I more or less see him jobbing to
SPOILER: show
Del Rio
in the first round or something so I wouldn't bet on him.

Daniel Bryan-Him winning would be huge for him and no doubt the potential for a Danielson/Miz fued for the WWE Title would surely crash the IWC. iI'm almost certain that he is an odds on favorite to win this for a lot of people, especially here on TPWW, but I don't see a guy who is already holding a title winning the KotR. I see Danielson putting on 2 good matches though and that's always a plus. TBH, I see Dibiase costing him the KotR.

Sheamus-Here's a guy who wouldn't really gain much IMO from the KotR. Yeah he'd get the title 2010 KotR and garner even more heat, but Sheamus is well on his way to being an overly established heel in the Raw main event. Considering the overall plans for him are a fued with HHH when he returns anyways, I don't see Sheamus winning this, but I could and most likely am wrong.

Smackdown

SPOILER: show


Kofi Kingston-Kofi winning could be huge for him on a show that seems to want to push new guys to the top. Kofi puts on some solid matches and they are always entertaining and to be honest, the guy seems kind of lost in the shuffle at the moment. This guy was over huge at the start of the year and now he's just kind of lost that spark he had. A Kofi KotR win could do wonders for the guy.

Alberto Del Rio-Easily could win, but given his ongoing fued with Rey, I can see Del Rio losing in the final due to outside interference from Rey and/or Big Show. It's a given this guy is a heel and in the long run, I think his attitude on screen with the other SD talent will ultimately cost him.

Drew McIntyre-For a guy who was "chosen" by Vinnie Mac, he really hasn't done much. Maybe this is the way to get him back in the spotlight? I'd be ok with the guy winning as he's solid, but sadly I see him being outed in the first round which would really suck. Honestly, I'm hoping for a Danielson/McIntyre match at some point during the KotR.

"Dashing" Cody Rhodes-This guy winning would be gold. The gimmick he has is one of the better ones I've seen in a while and him being a "king" would just make it that much sweeter. Imagine it now. Royal Grooming tips with the "Dashing King" Cody Rhodes. I realize he got his win over Rey on SD via outside help, but who cares? Cody could take this whole thing and if Morrison doesn't win it all, then my next choice is this guy.


So who do you see getting the rub? Discuss your potential thoughts, predictions, and matchups you hope to see during the KotR.

VSG 11-24-2010 12:27 PM

Are we supposed to put everything in spoiler tags too?

Ermaximus 11-24-2010 12:29 PM

I would for Smackdown until Friday. After SD, I'm taking the spoiler tags out, but I've taken as many precautions as I could to avoid people complaning about spoilers. Title says it all. All I ask is just be considerate to your fellow posters mr VSG.

VSG 11-24-2010 12:30 PM

And yet the poll has it all.

Ermaximus 11-24-2010 12:31 PM

Yeah, I know. Hopefully those who don't wanna know will see spoilers and then not read this until after Smackdown.

VSG 11-24-2010 12:33 PM

Then what's the point of the spoiler tags below? You are channeling your inner BDC here.

Volare 11-24-2010 12:34 PM

I'm going with Morrison, him winning then facing Miz would be a great match and build up both guys.

Nightwing 11-24-2010 12:35 PM

Id say Morrison, but I can see Sheamus taking it.

Savio 11-24-2010 12:37 PM

Are the brackets drawn up yet?

DaBrasko 11-24-2010 12:37 PM

I'd love for it to be JoMo but I feel its going to be Del Rio.

Not yet because the Smackdown superstars haven't been made "official" yet. It's most likely be drawn up either on SD or something.

VSG, I don't know. Considering I'm BDC's sock anyways, what's it matter?

Aguakate 11-24-2010 12:40 PM

Alberto Deeeeeeel Rrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiooooooooo!

Rammsteinmad 11-24-2010 12:58 PM

I don't really care to be honest. KotR hasn't really been KotR since they stopped doing it at a PPV.

Unless they did the tournament now, and had the finals at a PPV.

Ultra Mantis 11-24-2010 01:13 PM

My bracket prediction:

Del Rio d. Zeke
Bryan d. McIntyre
Morrison d. Sheamus
Rhodes d. Kofi

Del Rio shows himself a credible threat by taking out big Zeke, Bryan goes over McIntyre but he does his whole injure the arm routine, Morrison proves it wasn't a fluke that he beat Sheamus and Rhodes gets a cheap win over Kofi.

Del Rio d. Bryan
Morrison d. Rhodes

Del Rio takes advantage of Bryan's arm injury and makes the submission specialist tap out, Morrison beats Rhodes but is jumped by Sheamus after the bell.

Morrison d. Del Rio

Del Rio is looking odds on to win but Morrison pulls off the win out of nowhere.

Innovator 11-24-2010 01:19 PM

I'm thinking Sheamus, Del Rio, or Cody.

Mr Amazing 11-24-2010 01:29 PM

morrison,mcintyre,rhodes or del rio are who i think will win

Ermaximus 11-24-2010 01:32 PM

Shaved Monkey with the reach pick.

The Jayman 11-24-2010 02:03 PM

Somehow I see McIntyre winning this

My exact predictions as well :y:

screech 11-24-2010 02:14 PM

ALL HAIL KING ZEKE!

Xero 11-24-2010 02:18 PM

Would not be surprised to see Sheamus vs Morrison in the finals and Triple H screwing Sheamus.

Ermaximus 11-24-2010 02:19 PM

I too could see that Xero. Maybe a titantron miscue or something freaks Sheamus out?

Xero 11-24-2010 02:22 PM

I do see Morrison winning it, but I loved the idea of Sheamus winning and doing the whole Celtic Warrior gimmick he had in FCW, with the sword, cape and facepaint.

Wolfpack423 11-24-2010 02:25 PM

I'm hoping Sheamus, Danielson, or Morrison, but unfortunately I think it's pretty clear it will be Alberto Del Rio.

That would be amazing!

Savio 11-24-2010 02:33 PM

I think Sheamus, Morrison, Zeke, Ted, Del Rio, Kofi, or McIntyre will win.

Lol so Savior thinks Danielson will not win. Got it. :lol:

Savio 11-24-2010 02:46 PM

Oops meant Danielson instead of Ted....don't think Cody will win, although now that you mention it I don't think Bryan will win either.

Ermaximus 11-24-2010 02:49 PM

Lol

BizarroKing 11-24-2010 03:02 PM

King Kofi Kingston...Those initials ain't right...

I'm thinking Del Rio would be the perfect but I'm hoping for Bryan or Kingston.

Ruien 11-24-2010 03:15 PM

Cody

SaskatchewanChamp 11-24-2010 03:34 PM

Sheamus wins it, takes the King Of Kings name to further his grudge with HHH, HHH returns and beats him half to death with a sledge hammer, before Sheamus ends his career at Wreslemania. That is all.

Fox 11-24-2010 03:45 PM

Gotta go with Sheamus here, basically for the exact same reasons SaskatchewanChamp said above.

damnit, I wanted Zeke vs Reks final.

Reks wasn't even in the tournament. I'm almost certain he's on his way out the door Droford.

Mr. C 11-24-2010 05:40 PM

Ezekiel Jackson as King of the Ring would be really awesome. I can’t wait until he starts getting higher on the card. I want to see Jackson vs. The Miz for the title, so I’m going to be irritated if someone else wins.

VSG 11-24-2010 06:13 PM

King Kingston?

Where is the pink slip pool thread? I wanna know peoples scores.

Jeritron 11-24-2010 06:20 PM

Sheamus or Morrison. Bryan and Del Rio are my 3rd and 4th predictions, but they're more outside chances
