 King me!
April 21, 2008
As WWE Superstars return from the rich, royal tradition of the United Kingdom to American shores, the stars of Raw, SmackDown and ECW will compete for their own unique crowning glory.
For the first time in two years, a new King of the Ring will be decided in a one-night tournament that commences in the very first hour of a special three-hour episode of Raw, live from the BI-LO Center in Greenville, S.C.
Eight competitors will have to defeat multiple opponents in a single night to be coronated with the treasured crown and robe that WWE Legends and Hall of Famers such as Harley Race, “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, Bret “Hitman” Hart, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Edge have worn during their illustrious careers.
It’s not known which Superstars will make up the tournament field, but be assured that the four men involved in the Fatal Four Way Match for the WWE Championship at Backlash – John Cena, John “Bradshaw” Layfield, Triple H and WWE Champion Randy Orton – will want to make their mark and gain momentum just days before their title tilt. A King of the Ring Tournament victory would do just that.
Also watching the tournament live at BI-LO Center will be Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, who have been invited to settle their Democrat differences in Greenville. What will happen as these two titans of the political world face off in the WWE ring? Will their confrontation finally end their stalemate on the road to their party’s presidential nomination? Watch: WWE's invite
With Shawn Michaels and Batista at odds over HBK’s retirement of WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair at WrestleMania XXIV, look for sparks to fly if the two cross paths in the tournament or if they match up with their special guest referee at Backlash, Chris Jericho.
Also, the Divas cheered as Mickie James ended The Glamazon’s dominance, stunning fans worldwide to claim her fourth Women’s Championship. How will Beth Phoenix react to the loss? And will other Divas look to challenge the new champion, making her new reign a short one?
Find out as a king is crowned on Monday Night Raw, airing live at a special start time of 8/7 CT, only on USA Network.

This actually sounds like a great show. The presidential thing will really mess it up, though. It's one of those things that Vince knows his fans will hate, but he does it anyway because he wants the attention.
So they are doing the entire KOTR tournament in one night? Should be really cool. Is there an official list of who is in it? I'd love to see Santino win, but I want to see Kennedy NOT win even more.

Hopefully, Morrison will become King. Sadly, Kennedy probably will :/

Kennedy should win KOTR and get pushed.

Kennedy should win KOTR and get pushed. I agree, but WWE needs to tread lightly if they do that. Hopefully, they'd just call him "King Kennedy," because to call him "King Ken Kennedy" might open them up to a world of litigation. And Vince doesn't seem like the kind of guy who'll apologize to Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.  |

Did you guys notice that it basically insuinuates that JBL, HHH, Cena, and Orton will all be in KOTR?

This is the first Raw in a long time that has actually got me interested, but if the main event scene is in KOTR, then Imma gonna be pissed.
I'm pulling for Kennedy to win and think he probably should as it would suit him.

i have a feeling it will be jericho... That's one of the two things I want Jericho to win in WWE. Really, don't give him anything less than KOTR or WWE/WHC title. And while I want Kennedy to win, I wouldn't mind Jericho winning. |

So they have replaced the upcoming draft show for the King Of the Ring?.
Could be good if they use there best Mid Carders and don't use jobbers.
