Who wins this shit this year?
Why isn't it a shot at the title anymore?
It doesnt even matter.
They still do this?
Is it even happening this year?

They only did that with Brock in 2002 which just confuses me why they don't bring it back. With the way WWE hype's up SummerSlam as their second biggest show of the year, why not have King of the Ring be to Summerslam what the Rumble is to Mania?

When was the last time that King of the Ring relevant? Every guy who won it did fuck all
>>2617848
I think only austin and booker t actually made something out of it.
unironically

>When was the last time that King of the Ring relevant?
Yeah Vince kinda killed this event years ago. It was originally a way to help guys move up the ladder but IMO it was kinda replaced with MITB.

Baron Corbin.
They need to bring this back. Make it feel like a real sport again by having a tourney where guys set out to prove who's the best.
>>2617848
Tournaments don't draw. It's too easy to predict who wins because they don't run face/face or heel/heel matches.
>>2617890
This, it's either him, Mojo or Cesaro
>>2617848
Sheamus won several world titles after winning it. That was 2010. The most recent winner is Wade Barrett. Oh, also, Billy Gunn won one too. And Owen Hart. It is very hit or miss.
The King gimmick thing needs to stay dead
King of The Ring tournament should take place every July and the winner should get a shot at Summerslam, just like winning the rumble means you get a shot at wrestlemania.

That sounds good. Might as well put it right up against G1 and prove you're the better fed.
>>2617848
most of the guys that won it were relevant when it was one of the big ppvs. everything after brock was irrelevant
>>2617848
Booker T becoming King Booker was the last time this tournament was worth a fuck.
>>2617799
Probably Brayyy lmao so WWE can pretend he has prestige.
>>2618842
G1 is still better due to the fact it's round robin; putting the KOTR against the New Japan Cup makes more sense since same format.
