So seven guys have been announced so far:
1. Kurt Angle
2. Randy Orton
3. Booker T
4. Chris Benoit
5. Bobby Lashley
6. Finlay
7. Matt Hardy
I have a feeling Hardy will face The Road Warrior, which leaves us with an eight man tournament already to go. Hopefully they get RAW involved so it means something. I would also have one match per week. Drag this out as long as possible.
Next week, Kurt Angle defeats Randy Orton via submission despite interference from Booker T, who Orton contacts earlier to cash in that favour from earlier this year (as if the WWE would remember, I know).
Gunner Scott helps Chris Benoit defeat Booker T. This gives us Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit in the semi-finals.
Bobby Lashley defeats Finlay to advance. Matt Hardy joins him in the semi-finals after defeating Road Warrior.
Chris Benoit defeats Kurt Angle when Gunner Scott again gets involved. Benoit is starting to feel dirty for getting all this help from Scott. He tells Scott to stay out of the finals. Matt Hardy defeats Bobby Lashley when Shannon Moore re-joins Hardy, costing Lashley the match.
Our final is a pretty interesting Chris Benoit vs. Matt Hardy match. Shannon Moore tries to cheat for Matt Hardy, but Gunner Scott runs out and helps Benoit. The Rabid Wolverine gets the submission from Matt Hardy and wins the tournament 12 years after his mentor did. Benoit celebrates his victory, but Gunner Scott smashes the trophy over Benoit's neck and claims he isn't going to wait 12 years before he follows in his mentor's steps. Gunner Scott says that if Benoit is really "King of the Ring" he will defend his crown against Benoit when the next time SmackDown! is on PPV. You get seven weeks out of the KOR Tournament if you do it this way. I'm too lazy to check when JD is, but you sould be able to get the finals on there. The winner of Benoit vs. Scott can get a title shot against Rey Mysterio at Summerslam.
