Guest Report post Posted April 24, 2002 " You know, I'm pretty sure Brock is the guy that everyone was talking about being able to do a Shooting Star Press despite being a giant. Don't quote me on that, but if it's true I'd say he's just a little bit more agile than Test. " Yeah so what, Big Show did a dropkick off the top rope in WCW, it still doesnt mean that he agile.

Guest One Bad Apple Report post Posted April 24, 2002 Here is the list of the people who I think will be in the tournament: From Raw: Bradshaw Bubba Xpac Big Show Brock Lesnar Booker T RVD Eddy Guerrero From Smackdown: Jericho Edge Mark henry Test Bob Holly D-Von Billy Chucky Final 4 to go to the PPV from each side: Raw: Brock Lesnar Booker T RVD Eddy Guerrero Smackdown: Edge Jericho D-Von Test I predict Brock Lesnar will win the whole thing. Sure that Raw bracket is what you think will happen not just what you want to happen? Unless someone interferes in each match, I really doubt Bubba, Big Show, Bradshaw and X-Pac would all go in the first round. Because the two other multi-hundred response threads weren't good enough! I'd kinda understand this if it was said by anyone other than you. Booker T with the king gimmick would be golden, though... Yes it would. It could maybe produce something as good as the shampoo skit with Tajiri. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted April 24, 2002 What I see happening is Eddie keeping the IC belt for a while, and having some sort of stipulation thing where RVD doesn't get another rematch, but then RVD wins the tournament and the title at Summerslam. I'm pretty sure The Brock will get pretty far even though he won't win. Think Rhyno last year (as usual)... actually, when Rhyno comes back I wanna see the battle of Heyman's beloved man-beasts! Err, that doesn't sound right at all... As for who I'd like to see win (other than the obligatory cruisers/midcarders) I'd love to see Booker with it too... it's so fitting... 5 Time, 5 Time WCW Champion, and 1 Time King Booker! By the by, while on the topic of The Book, it's nice to see someone remembers WCW besides us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RickyChosyu Report post Posted April 24, 2002 Yeah so what, Big Show did a dropkick off the top rope in WCW, it still doesnt mean that he agile. Sorry, but I find just a wee bit of a difference there. Then again, I must be crazy to think a shooting tar press more dificult than a missile dropkick. If anything, the Giant's dropick was just him stepping off the top turnbuckle and landing in some semblance of a dropkick with it being sold as a big move. Regarless, Lesnar is much more agile than Test, with or without an SSP, so why are you even bothering with the arguement. Man, if there's anything on a message board that I can't tollerate, it's someone who plays devils advocate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Psycho Diablo Report post Posted April 24, 2002 This is a tricky topic..considering the WWF has done a lousy job of elevating new guys. It's just push push push the main eventers. Guys that need to stay away are ones that have already recieved a massive push (and/or blown one). Meaning Test, Albert, Edge, and anyone who's won the damn thing before, as well. Anyone who's just come up from the developmentals is too new for it, so none of them. (and I hope Ross' bitch, Bull, stays far, far away from the WWF..) I don't think any of the 'older' guys should get it. I like Booker, but KOTR? I don't know about that. I kinda thing there would be other ways to push him. Van Dam would be nice. I honestly don't see many people that would benefit from it.. ..and am I the only one that thinks Christian is over-rated? It's always blast Edge, praise Christian. Seems strange, but perhaps that's me. Or bitterness at the fact Edge is getting the push he has because of his height. As a fact (a sad one, maybe) shorter people don't make great main eventers. It's the Jericho problem..it's hard for them to have a credible offense, or a high-impact finisher. My two cents. -Shiro (edit) Tough Enough Contestant? Oh, great. I don't want to be another Maven!

Guest Mad Dog Report post Posted April 24, 2002 Any of the following: Booker T (needs it bad) Lance Storm (also could use it) Chris Beniot (probably too high on the card to be in the tourney) RVD (over enough he doesn't need it) Test Brock Lesnar Bradshaw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest spiny norman Report post Posted April 24, 2002 I came up with this (I guess it's fantasy booking, but hey, you never know): Kidman Brock Benoit Jericho DDP D'Lo Brown Guerrero Jeff Hardy Kane Raven Kanyon Lance Storm RVD Rhyno Saturn Tajiri You have five almost definite good matches there, and the other three have potential. Anyway, then get: Brock Benoit D'Lo Guerrero Kane Storm RVD Tajiri Jericho injured Benoit in his match, so Benoit loses. And Storm gets a fluke win, so we get: Brock D'Lo Storm RVD And final: Brock RVD Then they should have RVD get the big win, and the two can feud. Any thoughts? If it's crap, just say so, my feelings won't be hurt (much) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted April 25, 2002 KotR Odds (In My Opinion) Booker (Needs it Deserves it King Book Can You Dig THAT?) Brock (Logical choice but think it is just too soon) Show (nWo-ite and dont rule out a nWo member winning it would be better if it is the Big Show rather than X-Pac) RVD (Doubt he will be in the reckoning UNLESS a main-event push is on the cards) Lively Outsider: A Hardy- sure they are Brock fodder but what better way to push them than give one of them the chance of at least a KotR final?

Guest Human Fly Report post Posted April 25, 2002 Booker T. would be great as a King. I can hear it now "Where's my damn crown?" Bow down Sucka!" Booker is pretty over right now I think. Face or heel he should get some sort of run near the top. KOTR would be a good start. My 2nd choice would probably be RVD. KOTR would be the next logical step for him to get closer to the main event.

Guest Human Fly Report post Posted April 25, 2002 "Oh shit, it leaves X-Pac." He'd probably turn it down saying something to the effect of "I'm already a main-eventer that would be a step down!".

Guest RickyChosyu Report post Posted April 25, 2002 Booker T could use it if they're going to push him, but I don't see any indication of that happening, since the most he's done in the last two months is review movies with Goldust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ihatesmarksandmarks Report post Posted April 25, 2002 I think lesnar for now,theyve ruined booker T to the point where fans dont see him as a threat and hes just a comedy chrachter. And anyway does the KOR even mean anything anymore? I mean the last 4 winners (shamrock,gunn,angle,edge) either stayed as over as they were, or even fell worse off the ladder with a failed push (gunn,edge) Unless they bring some stip where the winner of KOR gets a title shot at summer slam, fans wont care about who wins KOR.

Guest muswp1 Report post Posted April 26, 2002 Booker would be the best for it RVD would be smart but pointless Lance Storm is not getting a push in the WWF, so will everyone please shut the fuck up about him Brock should just keep hitting people for now 1. I agree, he needs a push in the worst way 2. I agree, there is no need for him to win it until he adds a few moves 3. He's not getting a push because he has ZERO personality. Until he finds one, he's a canadian Steve Blackman 4. 2003 KOTR maybe, 2002 KOTR is way too soon. My personal pick is: Damnit, I can't think of one! Whoever wins is going to be the person least deserving of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
