Who's going to win the King of the Ring?

[The Penguin]

Well World Wrestling Entertainment fans, the King of the Ring brackets are now finalized! Four superstars from RAW and four from SmackDown! will be competing for the honor to be called "King of the Ring" The only question is who will be crowned king on June 23 and who will just get crowned!


In order of qualifying:
X-Pac of RAW (defeated Goldust)
Booker T of RAW (defeated William Regal)
The Big Valbowski of SmackDown! (defeated Christian)
Chris Jericho of SmackDown! (Edge forced to forfeit due to injury)
Intercontinental Champion Rob Van Dam of RAW (defeated Eddie Guerrero)
Brock Lesnar of RAW (defeated Bubba Ray Dudley)
Test of SmackDown! (defeated Cruiserweight Champion The Hurricane)
Hardcore Holly of SmackDown! (defeated Tajiri)

The first round will take place next week on WWE TV:
X-Pac vs. RVD (RAW)
Valbowski vs. Jericho (SmackDown!)
Test vs. Hardcore (SmackDown!)
Booker vs. Brock (RAW)

The semi-finals and finals will take place in Columbus, Ohio on June 23.

So who will win it all and why?

[Good Ol' Batmanuel!]

Probably the winner! ;)

Seriously, though, they'll probably give it to Lesnar or Van Dam. (Lesnar, because they're pushing him so much and RVD because he's just so popular!) I'd like to see Booker T win it, though. His matches aren't really anything to write home about, but overall, I think he's one of the most entertaining guys in the company!

Oh, in case people missed it, here's a picture I posted in a thread not too long ago:

Well, Shawn kicked him in the chops and kicked him out, but I guess they have done stranger things. :)

He has been talking a bit. (no promos, of course) During his match with Bubba this week, he was yelling at him in the ring. Typical "You like that?" and "Come on!" stuff.

I'm putting my bet on RVD.

[langden alger]

believe me. booker t will do something to get back at the nwo on raw(most likley cost x-pac his match) which of coarse will lead to the nwo jumping booker, helping brock to win.

As long as I get to see RVD vs. Jericho I will be happy.

[JTurner954]

I'm personally going to say it's either Booker T or Test. RVD has a title now, so for him to win it is a waste of time. My 3 rules for KOTR is still in effect.

That picture of Brockberg is funny. Just look at the man who will be King of the Ring.

[Memphis Bleek]

Booker T will win. Booker T winning will help get him over as a face.

Brockberg... It's funny cuz it's true! ;)

[Sheamon]

Lets see... who I think will win...

X-Pac vs. RVD (RAW)
RVD

Valbowski vs. Jericho (SmackDown!)
Jericho

Test vs. Hardcore (SmackDown!)
Test

Booker vs. Brock (RAW)
Brock

RVD over Jericho
Test over Brock

RVD over Test to win the King of the Ring.

I personally would prefer Brock to win it all, although it'll probably be RVD or Jericho. Since Jericho's already had his time in the spotlight, they'd probably give it to RVD.

As much as I didn’t want to I cast my vote for Lesnar. Overall I don’t care for the guy and don’t think he deserves to be elevated this high, this quickly. But based on this past week’s RAW I’d say it is his to win. Helping out the boss moves you up the ladder pretty quickly. Whether I like it or not Brock is marketed as a monster and will probably bowl over Booker, Jericho and RVD on his way to the throne.
