King Of The Ring has the potential to be just as big as the rumble, if not bigger

With the Royal Rumble winner getting a title shot along with MITB it's tough to have another PPV based around a wrestler getting a guaranteed title shot. But it can be done and KOTR should be part of the big PPV's they push like WM RR Summerlam Survivor Series and MITB. If they booked it right they could make a new star every year but the last few times they did it on tv it felt rushed and it didn't really benefit the winner in the long run.

They could just do it on an episode of Raw

They don't have to do a PPV that's one big tournament, but they could do a big tournament that culminates AT a PPV...

If not for the WWE title, at least do it for the midcard belt so people have a reason to give a fukk :ehh:

For it to work, they'd need to draw up a storyline and stick to it. If 2015 Vince were to do it - the tournament would suddenly finish it two weeks in with no explanation, never to be heard from again.

I get your logic behind it though, OP - they could use it to get talents over - just as long as they're the talents the company wants to get over

would love to see King of The Ring return...it should be expanded to like how the New Japan G1 is. Have like 16 or more participants. Have the tourny start on Raw...Also have matches on Smackdown, Main Event, and Superstars all culminating at the PPV...it could start fueds...rematches...runners up could challenge for one of the other belts

To me, the Money in the Bank winner is pretty much the KOTR now. He's basically the #1 contender, carries the briefcase like it's a crown and is next in line on the fast track to being a top guy

it will never get to that level though because the egos involved would be too great.

but if they really went through with it and treated the event with the respect it deserves, it would probly be the GOAT ppv year after year.

- the top 8 wrestlers in the fed (minus the world and IC champ)
- all competing in a single tournament
- all in one night
- winner becomes the no. 1 contender


:ohlawd: at the the storylines going in
:ohlawd: at the storylines coming out
:ohlawd: at the thought of a competent creative team



imagine...

- cena
- bryan
- reigns
- ryback
- rusev
- seth
- dean
- bray
competing in a singles elimination tournament for a shot at brock lesnar :ohlawd:

so much room for fukkery!
so much room for incredible matches!

and that's with a shytty roster!! could you imagine if this shyt popped off back in the day??? :whew:



:to: why can't we have nice things brehs.


After Mania and Rumble,the KOTR was my shyt!!!!! they really need to bring it back in the Tournament format ppv,my favorite Kings were Austin,Brett and

Where many murders occur
:what: U tryiin 2 bring back KOTR? We need to bring back War to Settle the Score first, homie :francis:

On the real tho, fukk a tournament. What we need is for every male on the roster to wrestle each other once, 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw. Dude with most points at the end gets a shot and a Cup. Dude wit least points gets relegated to NXT :manny:

I think TNA does something similar with a points system.
