To be honest, I'd like it if there was a King of the Ring PPV in June next year. You could have Swagger be the kayfabe reason for it. I believe he was protesting the concept of "Fatal 4-Way" as a PPV, since he lost the World Heavyweight Title there. Swagger could petition to bring back King of the Ring, and be presented as a favourite to become the 2011 King.
More so than the tournament making anybody, though -- the performers make the tournament. Bret Hart and Owen Hart breathed such great life into it, but legitimately being two of the best workers in the world. In 1996, Stone Cold Steve Austin's memorable promo cemented him as a figure the world should care about. Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar were guys with legitimate backgrounds and on the rise.
The more I think about it, the more I want Daniel Bryan to win the crown this year. He's the best in the ring, and serviceable on the mic. It'd be pretty hectic if they had a ceremony on RAW the following week, where they invited Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart and Triple H (one Bryan's trainer and the others former Kings). The Miz could crash the ceremony, and it could lead to a match between The Miz and Bryan with both titles on the line.
Next year, I'd give the win to Swagger, just because I think he might need it more then.
