The title should say it all and a recent thread got me thinking about the King of the Ring tournament. WWE over the past 6 years has been doing a KOTR tournament every 2 years and I'm sure there is a possibility of doing one by the end of the year. Being crowned KOTR can show who the next big thing is going to be the next big thing, or a character change, or even just another notch on a belt for an already top talent guy. Some of the winners have been Edge, Brock Lesner, Bret Hart, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and many more very recognizable names. The last winner was Sheamus and he has now risen up to be one of the bigger stars in the WWE. So my questions for you guys are this....
Who would be a good choice to win or even compete in the KOTR if they do bring it back this year?
And what would it mean for their character?
Lastly do you want to see KOTR return and would you maybe like to see it more or less often?
My top 5 choices to win would be:
1. Daniel Bryan
2. The Miz
3. Cody Rhodes
4. Ryback
5. Alberto Del Rio
I am really not sure how any of these winners would have a direct character change from winning the tournament, like Booker T did back in 2006. The only one that would come close would be Del Rio who could really use this to evolve and change his character into maybe more of a higher class, to make him think he is above everyone and maybe start using more of the rich side of him and buying people off to win matches. I think Cody could run with a character change too that could work with winning the KOTR.
Personally I like how its set up now with it being held every 2 years.. I wouldn't be against it coming back as a PPV since they are really big on gimmick PPV's now and this would be just another one to add instead of Over the Limit.
