Whoever wins the KOTR tonight, just, just don't give him an "Actually thinks he's a real King" gimmick.
It worked for Booker, because Booker is a silly goober. Plus he was on SmackDown, where guys weren't under the "real main eventers" ceiling.
It did not work for Sheamus, who was on RAW, so he just looked like an idiot with brown horns on his head.
I mean, I guess you could do it with R-Truth, but why waste an accolade on Truth?

I enjoyed King Kurt because he was also a goofball.
But yeah, the best KOTR winners have had nothing to do with royalty afterwards.

Barrett could pull it off. The "King of Bad News" just sounds amazing. Him wearing a cape to the ring is something he already does. Only thing that might be an issue with a crown. Barrett though, with his accent, yeah he'd pull it off very well especially if they let him speak on the mic more. He'd give a King's Court.
Barrett for King.

There's no reason it couldn't have worked for Sheamus, they just decided for whatever reason that after winning KOTR was the perfect time to turn him into a complete loser.

"Peasants and wenches of the Monarchy - I'm afraid I've got some BAD NEWS!" Yes, this would work. |

I've always wanted to see a winner of the KOTR go a little dark and become a "Mad King" of sorts. Black crown, giving some ruthless orders, demand some twisted form of tribute/entertainment, etc.

Far too timely a reference for Vince and company, so explain to him its a Robin Hood King Richard reference of sorts. |
