what horrifies me about jericho, is he's exactly where he was when he left.

If you remember his last feud was with John Cena and it was for the WWE Championship, had Jericho stayed he probably would have gotten a run. Now if you honestly believed Jericho would come back and be back in the main event scene like that then that was an ignorant mistake on your part. The WWE title scene is crowded enough as is without just throwing one more guy in just because he's there, Jericho is holding gold right now, that's pretty damn good for a guy back from a 3 year hiatus. Give more time for things to develop before they push him.

You know, I thought about how cool it would be if Regal was in the tournament and got to the finals before Raw even began. Him facing Punk - two great wrestlers who aren't main event level - was genius and completely unexpected from WWE. I just wish the match was longer. Regal should wrestle more often while he still has the ability.

It's funny cause I watched the 1993 King of the Ring before watching Raw and I was amazed how the WWE can destroy such a great event. I went from watching Bret Hart have an amazing match with Mr.Perfect to William Regal fighting a horrible match against Hornswaggle. WWE needs to bring King of the Ring back as a pay per view and get some headliners to wrestle. You can like Regal all you want but in my opinion I don't think Regal deserves to be in the same arena as the King of the Ring throne let along win it.

I hope they just use it as a title for Regal. As he put himself in the match against Hornswoggle and kicked an already downed Finlay I could see them using this effectively. What I was to see is Regal become a tyrant of a GM thus being the king of RAW.

They need to go the whole hog.. He should have some servants to carry him down to the ring, every time he wrestles.. he also needs to make Burchill, his royal enforcer.. He should sit up in his throne, watching matches all night and Katie Lea should be sprawled at his feet, wearing the Princess Leia slave outfit, from ROTJ ..

I don't know, but it's a damn good thing that the King of the Ring wasn't a Pay-Per-View, because what a huge waste of time it would have been. I have no problem with Regal, but when Punk, Jericho, and most importantly, Matt Hardy could have won it, going with Regal is an awful choice. Just when I thought WWE was on the total right track, they go ahead and do something incredibly stupid. Oh well. goin with Regal was the best choice. WWe did not go ahead and do something incredibly stupid. WWE did it perfectly right. you are just too blind to see it & you just don't get it. to be king of the ring you have to change your gimmick to like what king booker was . cm punk , chris jericho ,& matt hardy did not want to change their gimmick. also cm punk winning would have been too much. cm punk already has the MITB & winning the KOTR would over doing it all together . chris jericho already had ic title & had nothing to gain from wining the KOTR & he did not wan tto change his gimmcik . Regal was the person who could have won . regal was perfect for it & you are too blind of mark to see it. it seems to me you have no clue what is going on.

As I previously said, Matt Hardy was the best choice to win the tournament, hands down. Your argument for a gimmick change isn't at all valid - Booker T was the first to do so in years. Brock Lesnar didn't change his gimmick, Edge didn't change his gimmick, Kurt Angle, Triple H, Stone Cold. In fact, the last time someone changed their gimmick as far as I'm concerned would be Mabel, and look where that got him. William Regal had no business winning the King of the Ring. He's general manager, he's not going to do anything substantial in the next couple of years. The tournament should be a stepping stone, not an excuse for a gimmick change.

Matt Hardy is the white bread of wrestling, he's great, he's needed, when he's put together with other ingredients he's phenomenal, but by himself he is bland and generic. Hardy has no distinguishing characteristics, he's just ok at everything he does, he's not bad but he's not awesome either. Right now he's where he needs to be.

Booker t my have been the first since macho king to change his gimmick when he won the KOTR but that was how the KOTR was suppose to be anyways. . it was set in stone th at who ever won this KOTR was going to change his gimmick like booker t,macho man, harley race ,haku & many more did. The tournament was never a stepping stone originally. the original KOTR was never showed on TV or ppv & everybody who won it turned king.so KOTR was originally was gimmick change not a stepping stone.

Brock lesnar, HHH,Edge, Kurt angle ,& stone cold never did KOTR right anyways.William Regal has every business winning THE KING OF THE RING.William Regal is not just a GM .William Regal is still a wrestler & wrestles on every raw house show .so this just shows how much you ignorant mark self knows. only reason William Regal was Gm because he was so good at it before & is way better then coach. for all you know William Regal could win a world title . so don't say William Regal is not going to do anything substantial in the next couple of years because he is . William Regals career is far from over . William Regal is one of the best wrestlers in the world & kills Matt hardy in the ring . William regal is British legend & deserves more then anybody to be KOTR.

It's a joke is what it is it, they made the whole kotr pointless that a non wrestler won it so damn easily, Regal may of been good in his day but this is just so ridiculously stupid. Regal won't get over in yet another gimmick, he's not going anywhere with it the whole thing was pointless and only done so they could do something on a 3 hour.
Raw is just flat out crapand is just plain missable these days.

Raw is just flat out **** and is just plain missable these days. Erm, Jackass... William Regal is still good now. Infact, he's better than pretty much the entire roster as far as wrestling ability goes. Plus, what do you mean a "non-wrestler"? He wrestles at most house shows. William Regal is the GM of Raw, he is in a non wrestling role on WWE TV, is it that hard to comprehend that he is a non wrestler on wwe programming. The fact is he is a 40 something year old non wrestler winning the kotr, it is utterly pointless, he is going nowhere and will fail to get over once again, him winning kotr is just plain stupid. I hate it when people so close mindedly class wrestling as how you are in the ring. And yes Regal is still good it's just nowadays he's much more suited in a non wrestler role and isn't what he used to be.

Winning the tournament did wonders for Austin, Triple H, Lesnar, Angle, and the like. King of the Ring is going to do nothing for William Regal. You act as though I'm doubting Regal's ability, and I'm not, in any way. I'm a fan of Regal. His in ring work is incredible, he's a great showman and he has a great character, but lets face it - he's not going to have some huge push, he's not going to do anything that stands out in the next few years, he's just going to be there, just like he always has been. He is in a non-wrestling role stealing the spotlight from someone who could have used the bump. It was a wasted King of the Ring, and thats why it was held in one night. And its funny that you call me a "mark", I thought that term died about two years ago when the rest of the board realized that we're all "marks".
