My money's on Lashley. Seeing as he didn't win the MITB match at WM this is the next best thing.

Booker will go out thanks to worms and smoke courtesy of Boogeyman.:mad:

King of the Ring 2006: Lashley


Makes sense to me. Looks like only the final will be on ppv. Ah well. If they were going to do it on tv like this, another round might've been a good idea

Vince135792003

Angle Vs Orton - Winner: Kurt Angle

Hardy Vs Booker - Winner: Matt Hardy

Benoit Vs Finlay - Winner: Finlay

Lashley Vs Henry - Winner: Lashley



Angle vs Hardy - Winner: Angle

Finlay vs Lashley - Winner: Lashley


Angle vs Lashley - Winner: Angle
I think its just a little too soon for Lashley.

SilverFox261

Angle Vs Orton - Winner: Kurt Angle

Hardy Vs Booker - Winner: Matt Hardy

Benoit Vs Finlay - Winner: Finlay

Lashley Vs Henry - Winner: Lashley



Angle vs Hardy - Winner: Hardy

Finlay vs Lashley - Winner: Lashley


Angle vs Lashley - Winner: Lashley

Angle's already won it, it would be pointless to have him win it again. Id say there'll be some sort of interference in his semi final match.

Stalfos

Angle Vs Orton - Winner: Kurt Angle cause orton is suspended

Hardy Vs Booker - Winner: Matt Hardy because of booeyman

Benoit Vs Finlay - Winner: Finlay because of JBL

Lashley Vs Henry - Winner: Lashley



Angle vs Finlay - Winner: Finlay

Hardy vs Lashley - Winner: Lashley


Finlay vs Lashley - Winner: Lashley

If it's not lashey, who gets the KOTR, it would probably be Henry imo. but my money would still be on Lashey.

evad_lhorg

my money is on lashley for this one. king of the ring is the kind of thing a newcomer should get a chance in.

castagnoli

Angle Vs Orton - Winner: Kurt Angle

Hardy Vs Booker - Winner: Booker

Benoit Vs Finlay - Winner: Finlay

Lashley Vs Henry - Winner: Lashley



Angle vs Booker - Winner: Booker

Finlay vs Lashley - Winner: Finlay


Booker vs Finlay - Winner: Finlay

I would prefer Finlay vs Angle in the final but that doesnt seem likely. I cant wait to see that match between Finlay and Benoit, when's it on?

de5p0i1er

I hope Booker T wins and mabye then they'll give him a run at the World Title he deserves it alot more then some of the other ppl that there pushing, Lashleys still a bit new, look at Brock Lesner.

Fozzy

Just realised today that there's no actual KOTR ppv. They're just goin to have all the matches on SD apparently. The next SD ppv is Judgment Day in 5 weeks time, so they mightn't even have the final of KOTR on that

evad_lhorg

yea I only spotted there was no ppv there http://sports.ign.com/articles/701/701768p1.html

pity. I liked the way they used to have a few matches in the one night.

Brow

Thats terrible. King of the Ring was one of my favourite ppv's and now its just a smackdown filler thing? Shoddy! I'm thinking a Booker/Lashley final after that moment the other night and im hoping Booker wins out of the two.

Fozzy

If they make the winner the no 1 contender, I could see Booker winning it. Otherwise I don't, I'd say it'll be a face

Brow

Booker beat Hardy to progress

Stalfos

I didn't realise the winner becomes No.1 contender and gets a shot at the title. so i gonna change my pick to Angle.

triple h

yeah, i reckon booker T will win it.

Brow

This is being said if the winner gets a title shot. If Booker wins I see him having a good feud with Rey. I mean a lot of people of choosing Lashley but both Rey and Lashley aint spectacular on the mic. Booker would have skits with Rey.

Vince135792003

Yeah but whoever wins will get the shot, 2 Smackdown pay per views from now. Rey particuliarly with his bad knee might n't even have the belt by then so its hard to guess what way they could go. One thing is for sure, there seriously short of top top bad guys. The list is: JBL, Mark Henry, Giant Khali and Finlay.

triple h

it is true what you say vince, smack down needs a few top bad guys. kurt angle plays the bad ass good. it needs a bad ass gm, mr long could never play the bad dude, bring him over to raw and bring eric back to gm smack down.

castagnoli

^Whats your fascination with Bischoff?

triple h

eric was a great gm, i was sorry to see him go.
why did eric go? was it
a) his contract was up and he got fed up.
b) vince got fed up with him
c) other reason

castagnoli

Im not really sure. The kayfabe reason was that he couldnt get the title off Cena but I dont know what the real reason was. He is still employed by WWE but is taking time to write a book about WCW

Vince135792003

Bischoff played his role as GM really well but he was wasted in that position. Here was the guy who ran WCW, who fought Vince McMahon all the way. He was Eric Bischoff. A name which meant so much in the wrestling war in the mid to late 1990s.

But whats the first thing they make him do on Raw? Hug Vince McMahon. It was done for shock value. But why do somthing for shock value when you could have had this great feud between Vince and his greatest adversary Bischoff? The storyline because it had such a real root and feeling to it would have been easy to write. It could have made alot of money particuliarly if they brought him in at the start of the invasion.

castagnoli

While I agree that Bischoff was under used, I dont think he would have worked as part of the invasion because Heyman was part of it and he has genuine hate for Bischoff. They really should have done more when Heyman was GM on SD and Bischoff was GM on Raw. They could have built on their rivalry and include McMahon in rhe story lines too, the three men who defined Pro Wrestling in the 90's head to head to head.

Mr.Nice Guy

I think my tip, Booker T, is looking good. The WWE needs a top heel and Booker has the ability, charisma and reputation to be that guy.

castagnoli

I think Matt Hardy could well be turned heel soon too. He has completely ran out of momentum. If he knew where he would be now, this time last year id say he would have stayed on the indy circut. The writers dropped the ball BIG TIME with him. This time last year he was the most talked about guy in the business and now people could care less. I think he would make a good heel on SD.

Ahh but hate does n't come into anything especially wrestling when theirs money to be made. Vince McMahon is the best example of it. If you can make money for him, your hired. No matter who you are. He's a very forgiving man if you can add value to his company.

But whatever, I just think they fumbled the ball with Eric (like he did with Matt). He did well in the GM role but he could have been so much more.

hmmmm lashley is the guy to win...:D what ever happened to that fued with finley???? i wanna see more of that

They'll meet in the second round anyway ... don't think this feud is over just yet. I expect Finlay to interfere in the final and Booker to win!
