Lets talk about KOTR.

[Guest Rabbi_wilson13]

We have Undertaker/HHH.  I'm hoping that RVD tries to interfere on UT, only to have it flub up and cost HHH the match.  UT retains and gets to keep on doing what he's been doing and HHH just gets jacked at RVD.  They fight at Fully Loaded for the number one contendership, in say, a last man standing match(sound familar?) but RVD actually goes over and his push isn't squashed.

 

RVD is mad and interfering at UT because, of course, UT cost RVD his IC Title against Brock.  Brock goes on a Benoit-esque run, defending every show, going over clean and building up the belt even more after the ladder match.

 

Now the tournament itself.  You guys have that fairly well booked out.  Booker over Jericho, as long as its a long, hard-fought match that makes Y2J look good as well, is fantastic and the skits and push will be enough to push Booker up to the next level.

 

I don't think Austin will put over Eddy.  I just don't tihnk he will.  He beat Ric Flair clean, on Raw, for crying out loud.  I hope he does.  In fact, I hope Eddy beats him dirtily, but on his own.  Low blow, chair, feet on ropes.  Like he did to RVD.  No interference, but still illegal.  That would make Eddy look like he could stand on his own against anybody.

 

Angle/Hogan?  Angle dominates him to all hell, no-sells the Hulk Up and just bloodies the Yellow and Red monster up, knocking him out of action til the Vince/Hogan finale at Summerslam.

 

Matches down the road?

Jericho vs. Booker, the rematch, at Fully Loaded

HHH vs. RVD, title shot at SS, at Fully Loaded

Benoit vs. Austin, at Fully Loaded

UT vs. Edge vs. Angle - Title match at Fully Loaded

 

UT vs. RVD - Title match, SS

Benoit vs. Austin - 2/3 falls at SS

Jericho vs. Angle vs. Edge vs. Booker - Title shot 4-corners match, at SS

HHH vs. HBK - We can only dream, at SS

[Guest Anglesault]

UT vs. Edge vs. Angle - Title match at Fully Loaded

 

No way. Taker/Angle won't sell shit and with any luck, The fans will have shit all over Edge by then.

 

Jericho vs. Angle vs. Edge vs. Booker - Title shot 4-corners match, at SS

 

Take out the weak link (Edge) and add everyone's favorite druggie (Eddy) and you have an awesome match.

[Guest Ash Ketchum]

Jericho vs. Angle vs. Edge vs. Booker - Title shot 4-corners match, at SS

 

Take out the weak link (Edge) and add everyone's favorite druggie (Eddy) and you have an awesome match.

Edge is good IMO, but I think Anglesault has a slight point here.

 

*puts on riot gear and bulletproof vest*

 

Edge can do a good match if he TRIES, but his top-rope ability is limited. Eddy would add another angle to this, to the point where a face Booker must fight off all three of the heels (unless one of 'em turns, but that's not likely), making him seem stronger and increasing the match's dramatic factor.

 

In other words: It'd be wicked.

 

Edge vs. Test might be suitable... as a filler match before Taker and RVD tear it up in the ME.

[Guest Anglesault]

Edge vs. Test might be suitable

 

You have a sick and twisted mind.

[Guest Brian]

Hey AngleSault, kill two bird with one stone, right.

 

And isn't Eddie you're favorite druggie too.

[Guest Anglesault]

Hey AngleSault, kill two bird with one stone, right.

 

Why? Is it a "anyone involved in this match gets fired" match?

[Guest Brian]

I could care less for Test, he hasn't been worth a dime since Rock was talking for him.

 

As for Edge, he's decent. I mean, would you really be that bitter to him if Angle hadn't feuded with him and jobbed twice. Damn, that's even starting to piss me off towards Edge...

[Guest Anglesault]

I don't know if I would be as aware of the trail of bodies he has left lying in his singles career if he didn't do it to Angle.

[Guest Rabbi_wilson13]

Well, I didn't put Eddy in simply because of the 3 heels/1 face factor.  He would be great, too.  Test doesn't really bother me that much and he CAN put on a good match.  Good match.  Singular.  Him vs. Shane-O in the Street Fight.  That was great.  Maybe he can pull one more off?

 

But Edge vs. Test is just icky.  Edge may have a shot at the main event with the approval he got when he announced he was going after the Title.  Who knows.  This injury may really screw him over.

 

As long as RVD goes over HHH...I could care less if he beats Taker or not as long as the Deadman keeps up the good work.

[Guest Ash Ketchum]

I know Edge vs. Test is icky...

 

 

But knowing the GENIUS DUO that is Steph and HHH, that will be the case.

 

I don't want to see that match, either.

[Guest Tony149]

It seems like a new KOTR thread opens every day. To prevent this from happening, this thread will be pinned. If another KOTR thread is opened before the PPV, or bumped, it will be deleted/closed.

[Guest Hogan Made Wrestling]

1. Edge vs. Test already happened, at Survivor Series 2001.

 

2. It was a pretty decent match, one of the best singles matches for either guy. Nothing to get excited over but in the **1/2-*** range.

[Guest RicFlairGlory]

It WAS

 

1st Round

Angle vs. Jericho (Angle)

Venis vs. Eddy (Venis)

Rikishi vs. Benoit (Rikishi

Crash vs. Bull (Crash)

 

2nd Round

Angle vs. Crash (Angle)

Venis vs. Rikishi (Rikishi)

 

Finals

Angle vs. Rikishi (Angle)

 

It SHOULD have been

 

1st Round

Angle vs. Crash (Angle)

Jericho vs. Bull (Jericho)

Benoit vs. Rikishi (Benoit)

Eddy vs. Venis (Eddy)

 

2nd Round

Angle vs. Jericho (Angle)

Benoit vs. Eddy (Eddy)

 

Finals

Angle vs. Eddy (Angle)

I was there live

 

The final should have been Jericho/Angle

 

that was the BEST match of the night, at least from the man inside the Arena

[Guest Rabbi_wilson13]

I love KOTR, simply because of the tournament.  Last year wasn't any good because of only 3 tourney matches on PPV.  That, however, actually made sense because of the four men involved and wanting to build it up on Smackdown.  It better not happen this year.

 

Hopefully we have eight quarterfinalists at the PPV:

Chris Jericho vs. Val Venis

Lance or Test vs. Kidman

Booker T vs. One of the Hardys

X-Pac vs. Buh Buh

 

Jericho vs. Kidman

X-Pac vs. Booker

 

Jericho vs. Booker

 

Don't run any stupid "Booker's Injured" angle like every other year.  How about "Booker's Really Tired", since thats the whole concept of the tournament.  It's grueling and it means the person wrestling was capable of beating a variety of opponents in one evening.  Hopefully they don't screw it up.

[Guest Redhawk]

KOTR Tourney: JR was making a big deal about cross-show matches, so I think they're going to set up the bracket so the semi-finals will be RAW Guy vs. Smackdown Guy on each side. With that being said, I think it will be Booker T vs. X-Pac in the finals. tensions will build within the nWo as they approach this match, similar to last year when Rhyno-Edge-Christian-Kurt made it to the semis. Edge completed his babyface turn at KOTR 2001, and I think Booker T will complete his face turn at KOTR 2002. Booker wins, the nWo beats him down afterwards, then starts beating down Goldust after he tries to make the save. Booker will recover and save Goldust to complete the turn.

 

Triple H vs. Undertaker: I just have a feeling that HHH will win, although it would make more sense for Taker to retain. Losing the WWE title twice in a row could allow HHH to snap and go back to being a heel like he should. Besides, I can't wait for that Jeff Hardy-Taker feud.

 

Austin vs. Guerrero: Austin almost never jobs on major PPVs. The only way Guerrero wins is with interference from both Flair and Benoit. But I'll still say Austin.

 

Kurt Angle vs. Hulk Hogan: You all know what will happen, right? Hogan will cheat to win, despite being the babyface, then take off Angle's wig while Angle cries and loses more credibility.

 

Hurricane vs. Knoble: Who cares? I'd bet $100 that the WWE doesn't even know who's going to win the match yet. I'll say Knoble in sake of continuing the feud.

 

One other match I'd like to see:

 

Chuck & Billy vs. Mark Henry & Faarooq: I don't know...I can't think of any babyface tag teams on Smackdown. Just let some babyface team like Henry & Faarooq win so Christian & Lance Storm can win the belts the next night.

[Guest evenflowDDT]

Chuck & Billy vs. Mark Henry & Faarooq: I don't know...I can't think of any babyface tag teams on Smackdown. Just let some babyface team like Henry & Faarooq win so Christian & Lance Storm can win the belts the next night.

Man... that's sick... seriously, the only way that could get even more twisted is if the team was Mark Henry & Rikishi.  Just get rid of the tag titles... the WWE has.  Seriously, check The Smackdown site, and at the bottom, under champions, Billy & Chuck are strangely absent.  Webmaster snafu, or a conspiracy in action?!

[Guest Anglesault]

. Besides, I can't wait for that Jeff Hardy-Taker feud.

That was a joke, right?

[Guest TheyCallMeMark]

I better pedict before the show:

 

KOTR Winner: Booker T

World Champ: The Undertaker

Everything else: Who cares?

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

If by feud you mean Taker crushing him on Raw...then I guess I kinda am too.

[Guest Anglesault]

OHH! Okay, I thought he meant a series of matches taht would feature Jeff Hardy getting an advantage. No one on EARTH wants to see that. But, yeah, i could go for taker flattening Hardy on Raw.

[Guest Redhawk]

Well, seeing as the word is Jeff Hardy needs to take time off due to the strain of mixing steroids with painkillers, Taker will beat the crap out of him to give him an excuse to be away from TV. Now that COULD lead to Matt Hardy coming after Taker in revenge, but I doubt it. Or lead to a Matt Hardy, "Why was your stupid as smessing with Taker anyway, Jeff" heel turn.

[Guest Shaved Bear]

Or lead to a Matt Hardy, "Why was your stupid as smessing with Taker anyway, Jeff" heel turn.

hey that sounds like a big $ fued

[Guest Redhawk]

Well, they've got to do something with the Hardys. Either turn them both heel -- which would mean a beatdown on Lita. I'm all for that -- or turn one heel on the other. Since Matt is the better actor (which isn't saying much) he should go heel if that were to happen.

[Guest Anglesault]

Because it worked SO well last time...

[Guest converge241]

my predicts on the results

 

Taker retains over HHH (fel free HHHHaters to point out im "naive")

 

Eddy wins over Austin , thx to "horsemen" interference to lead to rematch and Benoit match

 

Chuck and Billy will defend against someone and no one will care (maybe BookDust if Book doesnt stay in the tourn. and they make the tag belts universal)

 

If RVD gets put officially in KOR, hell win over Storm

If hes not hell retain over Brock by DQ for the IC

 

If Booker is in the tourn. still hell win over Jericho.

 

Angle over Hogan (with no interference but a "shady" finish so Hogan can save face.

 

Knoble over Hurricane.

 

flair and Vince will hug again

 

Dvon and Bubba will porbably be the semis losers , just to tease the fans that might care.

 

Bradshaw will lose hardcore title to xpac , with interference from show, just so xpac can take the belt home and put it on his mantle with the wwf light heavyweight title and vanquish it from existence.

 

theyll have a skit at the rehab center w Torrie/Maven/tajiri.

Torrie will insinuate anal with Maven by being suggestive with an enema kit. Tajiri will be dressed up as a Physical Therapist and get forced to give physical therapy to a returning Dusty Rhodes! Dust will proceed to explain "i need some work.............on my ass boy!" hilarity will ensue

Uh I do....no really i do

[Guest Anglesault]

You do...what?

[Guest Big Poppa Popick]

King Booker

 

The Royal Spinaroonie

 

Yeah, now can you dig that?

[Guest El Psycho Diablo]

Something that scares me..

..a lot of the KOTR results involve Booker T winning. Fine by me. But the reasons for them are 'comedy segments'. How the hell can people love Booker for them, but blast say, Edge for the same thing. Granted, the comedy segments would be funny, but they'd damn well better lead to him getting a serious face push. Otherwise, they're useless. Unless you want him going around all summer saying "I'm King of the Ring, sucka.." and that's it.

 

I wonder if the WWF has any clue what they'll do with the winner.

 

We could get another Angle..meaning he gets a serious push. Another Billy Gunn..push, and fail. Or Edge, who won, and got lost in the shuffle.

 

I'd like to see anyone except X-pac win. I'd be happy with Booker or Val. I don't think Jericho needs it..because he's not going to get any use of it unless they'll push him seriously.

 

I would LOVE to see RVD win, and beat Taker for the title..but I may just be dreaming. *crosses fingers*

But Edge does it and he's not even funny.
