Hopefully, he'll win a world title now. He's long overdue for a reign.

i really dont see why everyone is upset about this. i think its great. it gives regal a bit more of an edge as gm, it gets him over as a submissions expert, and best of all he won it cleanly. quite frankly, punk (who i am not a fan of at all, he's even too weak to firemans carry regal) winning would have been overdone. he already has mitb. nobody else could use the push, really. regal really never won anything without the power of the punch, im glad the regal stretch is back.

fits his character, yes. but does he look like a credible threat to accomplish anything after beating a midget and two injured wrestlers that he booked himself? it's a lot of trouble to go to just to tweak his persona and give him "more power" in the back(kayfabe).

Awesome KOTR. Regal winning was the best decision WWE has made in years. Most people in this thread have said they liked the idea anyway. I believe if Regal was American he would have had a world title reign by now and that's no lie.

Oh, it will probably just give Regal and excuse to abuse his power as GM. "You can't question me, I'm king" kind of thing.

Im all for Regal getting a push. The man is one of the best technical wrestlers in the WWE today. Plus, when was the last time we had a submission expert as champion? Kurt Angle two years ago. So Im for it.

I think it works brilliantly, it makes Punk look strong without giving him a Cena superman push and make Regal look like a smart heel willing to abuse his power in the company. It was done so the fans would think CM Punk should have won but loses to someone who doesn't have the odds stacked up. Punk has to take on Y2J and Matt Hardy thats some tough matches while Regal has Hornswaggle and an injured Finlay making his matches much easier meaning his alot freasher than Punk making it an easy match.
I think it's brilliant booking, almost attitude like back in the days of McMahon or Steph/HHH abusing their power to get further.

As TME said, "Regal winning was the best decision WWE has made in years."
Why should Punk have won? He won MITB, no reason to make him king.

I'm glad I did not go to that Raw now, I would of been piss off to drive that far for Regal to win. I though Finlay would of won it. I am kind of curious to see where this is going to go.

As soon as they showed the bracket you could pretty much tell Regal was coasting all the way to the finals. And giving CM Punk both Money in the Bank and the King of the Ring would have been really dumb. Regal's English, so it fits him well. The "straight edge king" would have been a disaster. Although I think Jericho could have pulled it off well too.

regal winning was awesome, punks been pushed more than enough. i was sure punk was gonna win it too, i'm happy they made the good call and gave it to regal, he's a great wrestler who's long overdue for any kind of push. hopefully now they make something of it cuz it has potential.

King Regal is awesome~!
I hope he has some sick matches now, =]
I would love to see him up against someone like 'Taker but make sure he really give's him a run for his money.
Regal/Edge would be awesome too. <3

Neh, I like the idea of William Regal being King, and it make sence he won. Regal with an easy win on Lil Bastard, Finlay took a but whoop from Khali, and CM Punk had been in two matches already, besides, it fits Regal with him being British and all, King Regal the first. Besides I am fan of most British Wrestlers in the WWE even though they never get anywere so I didn't care if he won for no reason or not, as long as us brits win something eh? Would of been nice to see the KOTR PPV brought back, bring some of the guys who they are pushing like Burchill, Kofi Kingston, and more. And finally were can they go with this? No idea, better to be suprised no? I concure.

I couldn't be anymore happy with the result of King of the Ring. Regal more than deserves it and is better than more than half of the wrestlers on the roster, WWE to me seems to be shaping up, which is all the better. Congrats Regal!
