Bryan Alverez had a good take, saying that while raw and smackdown are sports entertainment, NXT for the most is too...CWC is a wrestling show...everyone would agree with that

But This is their most ENTERTAINING SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAM because they have so many different types of guys, and they get you vested in the charactors through their story, every match is dramatic and has something major on the line...its maybe their best show...

That TJ Perkins and Rich Homie Swan match...i REALLY wanna see that because i know its gonna be fun as hell. TJ Perkins...i didnt know that guy from adam before this tournament, Im a fan just because he is energetic, fun, and unlike anybody theyve had.

Cant wait
they definitely should make this a yearly tourney, i think one for women would be dope too

This tournament is another example of how royally the WWE has fukked up with King Of The Ring. Tourneys are so fun when booked right and be made to look like something important.


Agreed on an all women tournament. But instead of just girls from the indys/overseas, I'd make it a interbrand thing were you can see RAW vs SD women wrestling against each other. Make it a big deal like a G-1 for females, people would eat it up imo.

i hope they have a tag team tournament one day...

Imagine they have (excluding main roster guys other than headbangers)

  • The Revival
  • Gargano and Champa
  • TM61
  • Authors of pain
  • RVD and (insert wrestler here)
  • WGTT
  • Briscoes
  • Head bangers
  • Daniels and Kazarian
  • Pyscho clowns
  • The wolves
  • Young bucks (not a fan like that but id like to see them here)
  • Guerillas of Destiny
Whatever other teams...that would be dope as hell

Thats the key though...BILLY GUNN and a couple others ruined the shyt out of that tournament. That, and the post KOTR booking of sheamus and wade barrett killing the hutzpuh they were trying to add to it.

Making it a one night tournament were no match had any time to develop into anything didn't help either. You have to take time to create stories, make the fans realize the wrestlers care and make shyt compelling.

Ibushi is basically the #1 seed in this tourney, they told us that from the beginning. It makes sense and his resume in NJPW speaks for itself, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't wanna see an underdog pull off an upset in these next couple rounds :manny:

Biggest upset so far was definitely TJP over Gargano

Swann winning last week wasn't guaranteed either. Those were the only two matches where winner wasn't obvious.

It was always going to be ZSJ or Ibushi. Gonna watch tonight's episode now and see if I'm wrong.

fuuuucck I thought that choke was it :pachaha:

Kendrick put on 3 great matches in this tournament, this dude is on a serious run. WWE need to keep him for sure

he and Ibushi are the only ones that had a great match the whole way through. Lots of great talent, bu these two were the most consistent.

If Perkins vs. Swann aint lit, they they both overrated imo. They haven't had stand out matches. They are the two most agile and smoothest, maybe they need to go up against each other.

Dar hasn't done much either, Sabre deserves the win.

It was cool. Not one of the best. I barely remember. His performance at TNA wasn't interesting to watch.


Wait, so allegedly some people were announced to be on RAW? Who?
