Since Vince McMahon and the rest of his apes over in the WWE are in a festive state of mind by re-naming there pay-per-views. Then why not the WWE bring back the king of the ring event then? We had that watered-down king of the ring torney on RAW two years ago where William Regal was crowned king. So why can't the "E" bring the PPV back if they want to build up new stars into the main event scene?
The king of the ring concept from the beginning was to not only make new stars, but to help get a wrestler over enough with the crowd and make them a main eventer after winning the torney, like the million dollar man Ted Dibiase (Sr.) in 1988. I know that 'The Hitman" Bret Hart was a shoe-in after he won the king of the ring in '93. But some people had to wait for the push for while like guys like Stone Cold Steve Austin ('96), Triple H ('97), and Edge ('01). But the king of the ring really helped the guys that came in the WWF/E later on like Kurt Angle ('00), Brock Lesner ('02), and even the future "king" Booker T ('06) when the king of the ring was exclusive to the Smackdown brand.
Just think about the great matches we would see in the torney if the brackets were put togerther well enough? We could see matches that we only dream about from day to day! Like John Morrison vs. Christian, Kofi Kingston vs. R-Truth, or even Cody Rhodes vs. Ted Dibiase? If Ted would win then he & his father would be the first father & son winners of the king of the ring torney. And help build up a main event push for Ted Jr.
We didn't get a king of the ring last year, and most likely not this year either! So what better wat for Vinnie Mac, Vince McMahon to make those up to us (the WWE universe) by bringing the king of the ring back next year on PPV? Or it could be on free TV, I would like that.
