King Of The Ring Tournament

[jelle1809]

If you would ask me, what would you like to return to WWE? I would immediately say bring back the King of the Ring Tournament. Not as a PPV like in the past, but as special episodes of Raw and Smackdown. I don't think it should be used as a PPV because there are already too many of them. Plus it gives us something else to watch instead of the weekly episodes.

The winner of it should be someone in the midst of a push, making him a bigger star, someone who has never won a tourney like this before and should be granted a Worldtitle opportunity at the next coming PPV.

How to book it personally?

I would book it between Survivor Series and TLC. Being a 16 man tourney. The opening matches and quarter Finals should take plave on the 30th of november episode of Smackdown and the Semi finals and the finals on the 3rd of december episode of Raw. Given that timing the winner and current champion should have enough time to promote the championship match for TLC.

Regarding my booking, it speaks for itself. I'd like to have Barrett win the tourney, beating Orton in the finals to end their feud of last year. Thus making him #1 contender for the WHC. Let's pretend that Sheamus is still champ by then. We can have a battle at TLC with Barrett becoming the new champion.

I'd love for the KOTR to come back but I would replace the June ppv by a King of the Ring ppv with the winner receiving a WWE or WH Title shot at Summerslam similar to the Royal Rumble.

Your booking of the KOTR is quite good as long as Barrett doesn't get an English royalty gimmick

That's a good idea as well.

Barrett with an English royalty gimmick wouldn't fit..

I liked your booking as well. Not only woild winning the tournament give barrett some steam but if he got the clean win over orton that would be huge. I thought you had a good idea having one of the E's supers make it to the finals. Im a for wade winning it so long as he wears the same crown and cape that sheamus did lol jk

.. the same crown and cape that sheamus did lol jk

Someone higher up really disliked Sheamus at that time. He looked ridiculous.

The worst part is the "King" gimmick that follows it. If they are to have it, make the winner have the main event at Summerslam.

Take away the king gimmick that they seem to insist on doing and doing and doing after every KOTR winner that's crowned and I'm all for seeing KOTR back as a ppv or a special Raw/Smackdown.
Also, I hope if they do it again that they don't do a washed down version of it like they did when Sheamus won it, when they only had a few brackets of superstars.

I also like the idea of the winner getting a title shot at Summerslam or another big ppv.
