WWE Should Bring Back King of the Ring As a Full Time PPV


 In the world of professional wrestling, tournaments hold a special place, providing a platform for showcasing talent, building storylines, and crowning deserving champions. One such tournament, the King of the Ring, has a rich history and has produced iconic moments and legendary kings. While the prestigious tournament has seen several iterations over the years, making it an annual event with a premium live event dedicated to the crowning of the winner could elevate its status and captivate fans worldwide. Join us as we delve into why WWE's King of the Ring should be a yearly tradition.


A Sense of Tradition and Legacy:

The King of the Ring tournament has a storied legacy dating back to its inception in 1985. Over the years, it has been a launching pad for numerous superstars, propelling them to greater heights. By establishing it as an annual event, WWE can create a sense of tradition and build upon the tournament's rich history. Fans can eagerly anticipate the return of the tournament, knowing they will witness the birth of a new king or queen.


Spotlight on Emerging Talent:

The King of the Ring tournament presents an incredible opportunity to showcase rising stars and give them a platform to shine. By making it an annual event, WWE can specifically earmark the tournament for up-and-coming talent who are on the cusp of breaking through. This not only helps develop their characters and in-ring abilities but also allows fans to invest in their journeys and establish emotional connections.


Compelling Storylines and Rivalries:

A yearly King of the Ring tournament provides a fertile ground for compelling storylines and rivalries to flourish. The tournament format naturally lends itself to dramatic narratives, as wrestlers battle through grueling matches with the ultimate prize at stake. These intense rivalries can develop organically throughout the tournament, leading to climactic encounters at the premium live event where the winner is crowned.


Establishing New Championships:

With a dedicated premium live event for the King of the Ring, WWE can introduce new championship titles to elevate the tournament's prestige. For example, the winners could be crowned the King and Queen of the Ring, receiving regal-themed championship belts. This not only adds an aura of grandeur to the event but also provides the winners with a unique accolade and an opportunity to showcase their regal personas.


Global Appeal and Cultural Significance:

WWE's international fanbase is vast and diverse. By holding the King of the Ring premium event in different locations each year, WWE can cater to its global audience and celebrate the tournament's cultural significance. The tournament's regal theme resonates with fans worldwide, and hosting it in various countries would give local audiences a chance to witness the coronation of their king or queen.


The King of the Ring tournament has a long-standing legacy and has consistently delivered memorable moments throughout its existence. By transforming it into an annual event with a dedicated premium live show for the crowning of the winner, WWE can elevate its stature and capture the imaginations of fans across the globe. The tournament's regal theme, compelling storylines, and spotlight on emerging talent make it a perfect candidate for a grand spectacle. While the upcoming Saudi Arabian event may have missed the opportunity to be the King of the Ring, the future holds immense potential for WWE to reinstate the tournament as a yearly tradition. Long live the King of the Ring!

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

     Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving  WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years.       How they bungled this storyline, I’m not ent

The State of Professional Wrestling - 11-29-21

     I have a lot of thoughts on the state of professional wrestling in 2021. I think it’s great that AEW is around now and that they’re presenting a great product. I think WWE has the potential not be really boring but I think the consensus is that most of the time it’s just a really boring show. I cannot tell you the last time I sat through a 3 hour Raw. Oh wait, yes I can. September, 9th, 2013 and that’s only because I was at the damn show.       WWE has a problem with stagnation. The product continually feels the same and I think there’s an obvious reason for that. WWE is too scripted. I think there’s a noticeable difference in the presentation between WWE and AEW. AEW feels like a legitimate sports show and WWE feels like broadway theatre without the music. I don’t think it’s a problem with the talent. When you go top-down, guys like Roman Reigns, Big E, Brock Lesnar, Edge, Bobby Lashley, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Finn Balor, Jeff Hardy and Kevin Owens are all main event players.
