Well, I suppose for every King Booker and every King Regal there's a King Mabel and now, apparently, a King Sheamus...

 I agree. What in the bloody hell was the point?  Does anyone else get the feeling that half of management loves Sheamus and the other half absolutely hates him? lol

I guess the point is that KotR is officially a crock of shit.

I think the only point was to prepare him for a King vs King feud with Triple H and now that hasn't materalised, they have no use for the gimmick anymore. I'm glad anyway, it was too hokey and I much preferred him before.

I think that had something else completely planned for Undertaker but realized that they didn't have any huge match for Wrestlemania. |

so an entire three hour Raw and months of parading him in a stupid outfit was for nothing?

I almost get the sense, now that you mention it, that Undertaker being in worse shape than they thought screwed up both Barrett's and Sheamus's plans for 'Mania. It made perfect sense for Triple H to come back with the King of Kings music and take on King Sheamus, the man who put him out, rather than offhandedly discarding him with a Pedigree. Ditto for Undertaker and Barrett.

There was a point, and possibly something in the works. the problem is Kevin Dunn.

I said at the time it should have gone to Morrison. I stand by this.
Sheamus does deserve alot better though.

On one note, good, he needed to drop it.
On another, this means one of 2 things. He is out of WWE TV soon, or he is turning face.

Well... why does everyone need to adopt a King gimmick just because they win the KOTR? Couldn't he just have become the Number One Contender and then that have been the end of it?

Dammit, they screwed over Morrison for nothing then. Pushing his WWE Title match that he earned at TLC to a throwaway opener was much worse for Morrison than losing KOTR. |

It wasn't for nothing, Kevin Dunn clearly knows what he's doing.
Just wait and see.

Here's the funny thing about all of this. Morrison ended up getting the Number One Contender's match even though Sheamus won the KOTR. Even if they did decide to waste it on tv, Morrison ended up getting the push that, for all intents and purpose, should have been Sheamus'. |
