That's why he doesn't have a first name anymore. He's going to be King Neville. And he already has a cloak to go with his crown. And he's from England. It all makes too much sense.

That sounds awesome. Not so much the name (though it's not bad), but if this is the case, then WWE used the King of the Ring as a vehicle to get this guy over, and planned on doing that when they brought him up.

I'm cool if either Barrett or Neville win.
Or Truth. cause it could cause him to go back to his crazy gimmick. Crazy hobo king R-Truth would be amazing.

I'm thinking Barrett. They are taking the Bad News thing away from him because it was popular which the WWE can't tolerate. He becomes King Barrett and ditches the BNB thing altogether. It flops and no one on WWE will understand why so Barrett will be punished for it

Makes the most sense to give it to Barrett so he can have a gimmick that works for the longterm. "I'm afraid I've got some Bad News" is cute for a few seconds, but otherwise he's a very bland character. Give him an actual gimmick/character to embody that he can use as a vehicle for being a heel and it'll likely produce better results. BNB has been stale forever.
Also, Neville definitely doesn't need the crown anyway. He's already on fire as is.

It's either Barrett or Neville. King Barrett crowing about his monarchy sounds good to me, but I could see Neville winning to give him street cred.

If wrestling has taught me anything, he will lose in the first round.

I'm disappointed Ziggler or Ambrose aren't winning, so I hope Barrett wins.

Especially if they have another king of the ring next year.

If it's Barrett or Neville, I want Neville to win. Only so that it's not a foregone conclusion that a heel will win the tournament every damn time they decide to do it.

Especially if they have another king of the ring next year. Perhaps I'm in the minority on this but Wade Barrett has always been extremely bland to me. I've ranted about this before but his promos during Nexus leading with "It's all parrhh of the biggaahh picchachhh" were perfect symbolism to his career. Vague, non-specific, eluding to something that might come but never does because he doesn't deliver. His matches are all identical to me. So if he wants to gain some momentum and fight to get closer into the main event again, he needs to tweak his gimmick. Also, it's not like he needs to DROP the "Bad News" gimmick, I'm just saying it's definitely not enough for him.

At any rate, Sheamus is winning it.
