I'm going to go with MVP. This guy has been starting to build a little steam over on the A show {SMACKDOWN}. He's getting some decent pops from the crowd and his new theme is BOSS. He's long over due for a push. If they can make Miz & Swagger World Champions, than I can see MVP winning this EASY. He'll win, turn heel and feud with Edge.

The guy who needs is an up and comer, who needs some more heel bragging rights. That would be Cody Rhodes.
It make senses. He is young, and needs some establishment. With a King of the Ring underneath his belt, we can embrace, the King of Dashing. That way he will create some heat, and get that extra marketing he needs.

this is my first time posting but this is a topic that i wanted to reply to so i personally think John Morrison should win the King Of The Ring Tournament for the fact that WWE is making him into a Main Eventer and this is a great way to have that happen without having him win the royal rumble. if a person from raw is the winner of King Of The Ring i can see Sheamus or John Morrison being the winner and Sheamus doesnt need this win to help him get over but Morrison might need it. Del Rio shouldnt win because hes already getting tons of heat from the fans and he doesnt need this in order to go main event. i can see morrison vs sheamus in the finals and morrison beating him to help keep this fued going.

Strange things are happening to me
I'd love to see Alberto Del Rio win King of the Ring, and I believe there is a pretty good chance of that happening. It would obviously fit his character perfectly and it would just give him something else to brag about. He is apparantly descended from spanish royalty, and the only thing better then that is actually being royalty himself. He wouldn't just win the tournament because of his character though. He has proved to be accomplished in the ring, decent enough on the mic and over with the live crowds. I think Del Rio could have a future at main event level in WWE, and winning the King of the Ring would be a good launchpad.
Another possible King of the Ring winner is John Morrison. Assuming that his win over Sheamus was the start of a serious push, and not just a one-off victory, winning King of the Ring would be the obvious way to elevate his status. Quite frankly, you could also throw in Swagger, Rhodes and Kofi as possible winners who could use the King of the Ring title on their CV. As long as it goes to someone who could benefit from it rather then an already established star like a Big Show or Rey Mysterio, I'll be happy enough.

I think someone is getting "Nexused" out of this tourney so Barrett can win it... Of those in the tourney, Del Rio makes a lot of sense for it but I just think they need to keep Barrett strong without the title till the Rumble and the KOTR title really would suit him...
If I was gimmick booking it it'd be Drew McIntyre... he'd be "The Last King Of Scotland"... that gimmick would kinda work... but personally am disappointed Goldust didn't get into this tourney... would have loved to have seen the Rhodes boys face off in it...

Well I think it's obvious who I want to win, but unfortunately I'm not too sure it'll happen. At this point, Kofi is getting lost in the shuffle on Smackdown, and that's annoying the crap out of me. Kingston is my favorite Face at the moment, and I would really like to see him flirt with the Main-Event once again. I at least hope he wins the Smackdown portion of the tournament, but with WWE so high on Alberto Del Rio at the moment, I'm not sure that's gonna happen unfortunately. So I'm almost certain Del Rio will win the Smackdown tournament, once again, unfortunately. Not that I don't like the guy, it's like someone else said: I would just like to see him actually finish a feud and establish himself before getting another push.

The RAW side is a bit tough to call. Part of me is thinking that Sheamus/Morrison will cancel each other out, but the other choices don't look to believable. Zeke just got back, and unless he's in for a major push, I just can't see him winning this time around. On the other hand you have Daniel Bryan, and with him already the US Champion, that makes me doubt him winning also. So that leaves Morrison and Sheamus, and if it came down to it I think Sheamus would come out on top with the win, seeing as how he just lost at Survivor Series.

I think Morrison will win it. He also deserves it more than the others who have qualified on Raw, or any of the guys eligible on Smackdown because he has paid his dues and would be a good addition to the main event. He needs a big push and can get that from King of the Ring. Where else can they go with him after his win against Sheamus, a former world champion? Morrison is on a roll and adding a King of the Win ring to his momentum is enough to help him break into the main event, where he can feud with Miz to win his first world title. It's a perfect opportunity.
Yes we do, they announced it and showed a graphic for the 8 men before the barrett/orton match. The 8 men competing will be Big Show,Alberto Del Rio, Rey Mysterio, Kofi Kingston, Cody Rhodes, Drew McIntyre, MVP, and Jack Swagger.
With that out of the way, Im thinking Del Rio wins this thing. He seems to be "above" mid-card status, so him feuding for the IC title doesnt make sense. On the other hand, he hasn't been around long enough to be a main eventer, or hold a World Championship. That's where KOTR comes in.
King of the Ring has obviously lauched the careers of many superstars who were on the cusp of stardom. I know Sheamus as the King of The Ring vs the impending return of the "King of Kings" sounds like a money feud, but Del Rio's claim is that he comes from the bloodline of kings. What better way to solidify that claim then to add being King of the Ring to it?
He hasn't been around as long as some of the others, nor has he "paid his dues" like a lot of the wrestlers in the tournament, like a Morrison or an MVP. But he's an entertaining performer, as well as a heat magnet, and winning KOTR would further cement him as a top heel on Smackdown, where right now there's really only one main event heel in Kane. It was telling he was chosen as team captain of his SS team over a past WHC in Swagger, and "The Chosen One" in Drew McIntyre, and was protected from official elimination in the match. This would be a huge test for him to show he belongs in that upper tier as he will have to win 3 matches in one night, but I think he'll more then pass the test.
The other reason I believe Del Rio wins it is because it will set him up as the next challenger to, in my opinion, the next World Champion in Edge. I see Edge defeating Kane at TLC, and Rey vs Del Rio having the two out of three falls match that was advertised for SS at TLC instead, but as a No. 1 Contenders Match. Edge wins the title, Del Rio defeats Mysterio, and he moves on to face Edge at the Rumble. I think Del Rio should and will win the 2010 KOTR.

This tournament is going to come down to John Morrison and Alberto Delrio. I see little doubt in that. KOTR has always been more for heels to make a rise than babyfaces, which is why I'm leaning towards Delrio. Unless Morrison makes a much needed heel turn, which I doubt. Morrisons the most over mid-card face, and they just had him beat sheamus, so that's not going to happen.
"I am the King of the Ring.....but you already know that!"- Alberto Delrio on next weeks Smackdown.

Sheamus.
I think management approached him and said: "Let John Morrison beat you by pinfall. In exchange, we'll have you win KOTR."
I can't think of any other reason why they'd have Morrison go cleanly over him.

I think the winner will be either Sheamus or Alberto Del Rio. I wouldnt be suprised to see these two meet in the Final.
Shemaus has being looking pretty weak recently with the losses to Santino and Morrison so this would be a good way to build him back up.
Del Rio seems to be getting a push and a win in the KOTR tournament would be the ideal way to elevate him to main event. He has the credentials to be a big player.
I'm gunna predict Sheamus wins. Rey Mysterio will probably cost Del Rio the Crown.

I want Cody Rhodes to win it. The position of 'King of the Ring' would fit perfectly with his 'Dashing' gimmick, and I want Rhodes to have a bigger push; this might just be the opportunity.
As for who I think will actually win it, I'll go with Sheamus, and if he doesn't win King of the Ring, he'll win the rumble.
Cody Rhodes: The King of Dashing.

Porn is okay here long as it ain't dudes.
I am thinking it will be Sheamus too, and here's why:
- He jobbed to John Morrison at the most recent Pay Per View.
- Hasn't been doing much these few months.
- Winning "King of the Ring" sets him up to undergo a kingish gimmick, and like a domino effect this will in turn set up a possible return of another "King".
Triple H.
I'm not one for out-of-the-dark theories like that, but I find it interesting that he has nothing to lose going into this tournament and he has been credited for quite a while now for taking out "The King Of Kings". Just a thought.

if u want history... it would be awesome for dragon to win it and have regal (last champion and mentor of dragon) to come out and hand dragon his crown....... than BANG!!!!! out of nowhere regal drops him to the flooor (instant fued right there), then just as when regal is about to leave dragon gets up and challenges regal and have dragon say his signiture wwe quote ("MAN UP OR TAP OUT") quote ala stone cold
this could be the final swan song in regals career, have a best of 7 match with dragon to see who the real king is and have punk interfere in some way.... BANG!!! Another instant fued..
since raw has a champ thats a heel then JoMo or dragon have a good chance... but if its smackdown i got a feeling del rio if he is in it.

Very interesting thought about Sheamus winning and then HHH challenging him on his return. This is something that could happen. I already thought Sheamus would win, and this makes me even more confident I am right.
However, I really do hope Morrison wins. I like the guy, and find him every entertaining in the ring. A KOTR win would give him more promo time, allowing him to improve in this area and I think with a good push behind him JoMo could become a big star. He has the talent, the look, the body and now just needs the promo skills to carry a major feud, then we have ourselves another main eventer.
Morrison with Miz's talking ability is pure money I think

Tell me what's on ur so called mind
I've no doubt that Del Rio will win this.
Paying dues? Surely true fans know that paying dues means jack shit to Vince McMahon unless it's for an entire decade.
Kane and JBL are like literally the only guys in the modern era who've gotten anywhere by 'paying dues' so JoMo isn't going to win just because he's done a great deal of fuck all for 7 years.
Sheamus? Be KOTR? Just to fued with HHH? He doesn't need a new moniker for that, he put HHH on the injured list for 8 months, they don't need a stupid King vs King match and plus, those matches tend to bomb horrendously.
Sheamus is a 2 time WWE champion, with the second fastest title win in WWE history. Winning KOTR would be a massive step down for Sheamus, not up.
Who was the last former World Champion to win KOTR? That's right, it was Booker T, who'd spent his entire WWE career being made to look unworthy of a WWE Title shot. Ok he had that WM match in '03 but that was literally it. They gave him KOTR to rebuild his credibility they'd spent so long ruining, and THAT's when he won his first and only World title in WWE.
Del Rio has done a lot of nothing except injure established guys like Rey and Christian, yet they are still hyping him as something to watch out for. He's had a #1 contender's match AND captained a team at SSeries. If you get matches like that repeatedly despite never beating anyone, THAT suggests he's going to get a big angle to get the fans on board with his push.
'Ok, he's KOTR, i can accept that they're going to use him frequently now, because he's accomplished something'
And what better angle than winning KOTR?
McIntyre? He might win, but his chances aren't as high as Del Rio's.
Bryan? He'd be a good candidate, but he's got a belt currently so KOTR as well? Over Del Rio who needs his credibility built up a little? Don't think so....
I truly do feel, to the point where i'd confidently put money on it, that Alberto Del Rio will be 2010's KOTR...... and deep down..... you already know that too.

That's all folks.
I have two picks, and either one of these guys, I'd be fine if they won.
John Morrison is my first pick to win. He needs it. He deserves it. Look at the incredible roll he's been on lately. The fantastic falls count anywhere match up with Sheamus really showed Morrison stepping his game up. It really showed he can hang with the top guys. He just beat Sheamus in a match at Suvivor Series in another great match up between the two. Sheamus is doing a great job of getting him over. A King of the Ring win would do the trick. Guys like Stone Cold Steve Austin, Edge, Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, or King Booker all won King of the Ring before getting over. This could help elevate John Morrison into the main event scene-- and with The Miz as the WWE Champion, it only makes sense to do some kind of little feud between the two.
My second choice is none other than Alberto Del Rio. It just seems so likely he'll win, no doubt. He's already cocky, arrogant, annoying, adding a King of the Ring win under his belt will make him gloat more. He seems like a perfect candidate for the win and it wouldn't suprise me if he did. These tournaments are usually build for heels so it would seem a heel is winning this year. The King of the Ring Tournament should be used to get younger, less polished Superstars over like Morrison or Del Rio. A win for either of these men would assure a spot in the main event pictures no doubt.

doesn't know REAL wrestling...
With the way the participants from RAW have panned out and those involved in the matches coming up on Friday, I would say that the chances of a RAW face vs Smackdown heel final are good. Sheamus could easily get to the final but I doubt that KOTR would end with heel/heel and I do not see Kofi suddenly being shot all the way to the final, and in reality Sheamus does not need to be KOTR.
As I do not think that any of the other Smackdown competitors seem capable or need to pull off the "King" gimmick, essentially, I see it as Del Rio vs RAW, with the Mexican royalty coming out on top. I would say that Morrison vs Del Rio is the most likely finale, although Danielson stands a good chance of going all the way, only for Regal to prevent him from winning.
I would also suggest that Creative should make sure that any Smackdown vs RAW contests get built up for being so, particularly if the final ends up say Morrison vs Del Rio. That way Bragging Rights and Smackdown's consecutive victories could actually mean something. RAW could then be seen as breaking Smackdown dominance of interpromotional matches.

YOU WILL RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH!!!!
I'm not really sure on this as I don't know who has qualified on SmackDown!. I could always read the spoilers but I think one reason why I enjoy wrestling so much is because I avoid reading them. So, as of right now, let's look at the Raw KOTR competitors:
Sheamus - Sheamus is a guy that most of us didn't have a clue existed this time last year. He came out of nowhere and quickly made his mark in the WWE and the topic of whether he was good enough to have the spot he had raged on for months. In my view, Sheamus has proven the nay sayers wrong and has demonstrated that he'll be a long term star. Sheamus is a 2 time WWE Champion so does he really need to be KOTR? In my opinion, not really but it wouldn't surprise me at all if he did win it. It'd be another feather in his cap and would all but guarantee that we'll see him back in the main event scene next year.
John Morrison - John Morrison is someone that's run hot and cold during his time in the WWE. Morrison has been a 5 time tag team champion in the WWE, he's held the Intercontinental Championship 3 times and he's a former ECW Champion. Morrison has a great look to him and he's often a lot of fun in the ring in my view, but he's never really gotten over that hump to take him to the next level. Over the past few months, Morrison has been doing very well on Raw and has looked more like a star than he has in a long time. Morrison's clean pinfall victory over Sheamust at Survivor Series is probably the overall biggest win since he defeated CM Punk on SmackDown! while Punk was the reigning World Heavyweight Champion. Winning the KOTR tournament might be that extra nudge for him and considering the roll he's been on, I wouldn't be surprised if JoMo pulled it out.
Daniel Bryan - Daniel Bryan's time in the WWE has kept fans on something of a rollercoaster. He is introduces as one of the "rookies" on the first season of NXT and basically has much of the show weaved around him. He's cast in the underdog role on NXT and is able to get over with fans despite losing all the matches he's put in. From the start, fans sense a feud building with The Miz and it's something that the IWC in particular can't wait to see. Even though he doesn't actually win NXT he doesn't go away and continues to steadily get over more with the audience. His invovlement in the initial Nexus beatdown of John Cena and the subsequent firing afterward was probably the single most discussed topic among the IWC this year. The IWC was in an uproar to say the least. Bryan makes a surprise return at SummerSlam, performing well in the main event match and goes on to resume his feud with Miz. Bryan captures and is the reigning United States Champion. He's had show stealing matches both on Raw and on several WWE ppvs and winning KOTR would be huge for him.
Ezekiel Jackson - I think that Big Zeke is the least likely to win as he simply hasn't really done much of anything. He's still pretty green and I just haven't been overly impressed by him. He has a phenomenal look and I do think has shown to have a little charisma, but he's simply not ready, not by a long shot.
I personally think that it'll wind up being Sheamus vs. John Morrison in the finals. My mind might change after I see who ends up in the tourney from SmackDown!. Sheamus has already lost to JoMo cleanly at one of the WWE's big four ppvs of the year, so I look for Sheamus to come out on top as a means of evening things up between them.

It'll most likely end up being John Morrison. They're giving him a push and if all goes well, it will be The Miz vs. John Morrison at the Royal Rumble for the WWE Title.

Fucking Hostile
Either Morrison or Alberto Del Rio (assuming he is in it) would have the most to gain from the win, it could really solidify a main event position for either man. Both have been pushed lately and this would certainly help take that push a little bit further. Sheamus does not need this he is already a 2 time WWE champion and a solidified main eventer. Daniel Bryan is already US Champ and has been getting quite a push lately. Big Zeke is pretty shit, he is nothing more than your standard dime a dozen big man.

I also think this will come down to Del Rio vs John Morrison. I want Del Rio to win because he is now my favorite on Smackdown, but I think Morrison will end up taking it. I don't know when he is supposed to have his championship opportunity, but it looks like he could main event wrestlemania with the Miz and make that his big moment.
