WWE TV, Rumours and Discussion - Part VII

[Cleavy]

WWE made a top 10 King of the Ring winners rankings show.

10. King Corbin
9. The Macho King Randy Savage
8. King Sheamus
7. King Kurt (Angle)
6. Edge
5. Brock Lesnar
4. Triple H
3. Bret Hart
2. Stone Cold
1. King Bookah!

Macho King should be higher, and King Duggan should be ahead of King Corbin

 

[Nugett]

Macho King should be higher, and King Duggan should be ahead of King Corbin

King Haku/Meng should be ahead of King Corbin. Duggan and Haku should replace both Sheamus and Corbin.

Savage should be top 5

 

[Cleavy]

Savage should be top 5

should be top 3, since he won the tournament in addition to being the Macho King

Have they said when the brackets will start?

Given the size of the roster these days no reason why they can’t have qualifying matches on Raw and SD early on. Good way to keep some feuds going but also start some fresh ones.

Really hope it’s someone like Cesaro or Ricochet. Would be good if they defeated Sami Zayn in the final and he can add it to the conspiracy story.

Can totally see them going with Kross or Bearcat Lee as they always seem to go a heel of lately.

Would be good if the winner just went with being the king of the ring or queen of the ring and not be referred as King Corbin for example sake.

it starts on SD and continues next week on RAW. Qualifier matches? haha, they have to wrap it up by Crown Jewel.

Crown Jewel is on Thursday 21st October, so based on that they have 4 shows to set up the finals.

King Woods!!!

 

[Cleavy]

King Woods!!!

knowing how much he pushed for its return, it wouldn’t shock me if he lost in the 1st round.

 

[Lynchy04]

Liking what change ups they have done so far on the draft

Drew, Cesaro and Sheamus on the same show and AJ and Finn on Raw. Bloody hope like hell the bring back the Bar at some stage.

Raw pretty stacked with Big E, Rollins, Lashley, AJ, Orton, Balor, Kross, Keith Lee, Edge and KO

SD top end is pretty much Roman, Drew, Sheamus, Cesaro, Corbin ,Shinsake and Jeff Hardy?

 

[ptrg]

I hate everything about Goldberg so much.

 

[ptrg]

So new rosters don’t take effect for another 2 weeks, but anyone who has been drafted still shows up anyway on their “new” show.
shows just how utterly ridiculous the draft/brand split even is.

 

[Quivorir]

Lol'd at this.

 

[BEEG]

Raw has a nice feel.

AJ
Edge
Finn Balor
Seth Rollins
Lashley
Riddle
Orton

Plenty blokes who can put on some serious matches.

 

[Lynchy04]

Last round tonight SD get Ridge Holland and Zayn with the final pick. Raw get Gable Stevenson.

Still have The Hurt Business, Dirty Dawgs and probably see the likes of LA Knight and hopefully MSK drafted when it continues on NXT.

Makes sense that all the talent would be at the draft shows, regardless of brands.

Banging Stephanie doesn’t help his cause.

AJ

makes zero difference if the creative is rubbish.

 

[Cleavy]

also Asuka didn't get drafted?

 

[MadMundy]

also Asuka didn't get drafted?

She's injured.

You're going to have the usual whining and complaining that SmackDown got shafted in the draft and how RAW's roster is so much better, but how many times have we heard this argument? Every year. And what always ends up happening? SmackDown still always ends up being the better show by a long shot. You'd think people would learn by now.

 

[Cleavy]

She's injured.

even a half busted Asuka is better than (*looks up draftees*) Dana Brooke.

 

[Cleavy]

they used the Shane McMahon theme "Here Comes the Money" on the most recent episode of the Simpsons. I guess WWE doesn't own that theme.

They are still doing more picks on NXT, probably end up with LA Knight and KOR on Smackdown.

I don’t mind it that Raw is more stacked with depth at the top end now.

Smackdown is light on around Reigns but they already have a story with Cesaro and Drew and they have Sheamus Zayn etc that will end up having a go at Reigns.

Really good chance for them with the 2 hour showcase Ricochet and potentially the guys and gals they get from NXT.

Raw will finally have enough depth at the top end to hopefully put on better shows.

Can't ever say Smackdown got shafted when they have Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre.
