SPOILER WARNING
Do NOT post information about upcoming events on Smackdown, in this case the tournaments return, until the show has aired. In this case we don't even know its returning as a PPV, or that it is officially SmackDown Exclusive. --Mattbwn 11:47 05 Apr 2006 (UTC)Mattbwn
Ok, instead I stated that it was simply a rumour and unconfirmed.--Killswitch Engage 02:32, 7 April 2006 (UTC)Killswitch Engage
That's fine. Not to come off strong but in the wake of the Wrestlemania 22 page going nuts in the weeks prior to the cards announcement we've got to be careful not to break kayfabe on the site. Mattbwn 18:47, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
It's been announced on Smackdown in Canada that the tournament will return and it seems to have been implied that it's Smackdown exclusive. From looking at the PPV schedule it would appear the event itself will not return but it wouldn't be the first time a PPV has been announced and then had its name changed later (Invasion was originally promoted as Fully Loaded).

While definitely Smackdown exclusive, it would seem that this isn't going to be a PPV at all. I could see them having the finals or semi-finals/finals at Judgement Day, with the winner getting a title shot in the future or something to that effect. The only PPV that I could see them doing away with is The Great American Bash, and since the tournament wouldn't last that long, unless they move judgement day to July I don't see it getting its own PPV.Mattbwn 18:46, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
WWE.com
If the events of the show are posted on WWE.com, as Orton's loss was, it is alright to post who won, right? 70.111.253.243 13:04, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- Yes. Where I usually wouldn't allow spoilers posted, I've let it go just like Angle's WHC win when that was posted on WWE.com. --Oakster 19:43, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Weirdly enough, I've just checked WWE.com and found they've slightly edited their article now. It's removed any reference of Angle beating Orton and holding on the ankle lock and replaced it with just a short mention of Orton's ankle breaking from an ankle lock. I can't really say what to do about this now. --Oakster 19:51, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
KOTR Before 1993
Are we sure the tournaments before 1993 were King of the Ring tournaments? WWE officially recognizes 1993 as the first ever King of the Ring tournament. RealFerrari 11:40, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
KOTR exclusive to SmackDown?
How can it be said that the tournament is exclusive to the SmackDown! brand? There is no evidence pointing to this, other than the fact it was a pitiful attempt to boost ratings on one show. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.31.12.67 (talk • contribs) 19:30, 4 December 2006 (UTC).
- The 2006 tournmanet was only on the SmackDown brand, that's why. TJ Spyke 23:01, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
It hardly determines it as an exclusive,does it? We can't say it is going to be on SmackDown! next year or if it will return at all.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.41.244.43 (talk • contribs)
- Maybe, but as of right now it is a SD exclusive tournament. TJ Spyke 22:12, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
KOTR Title
I noticed an addition to the trivia section about Mabel winning the KOTR and winning a title. Why take it down?--Captain Capatilism 20:27, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
- Ahem I do realise I typo'ed my own name,tyvm!--Captain Capatilism 20:28, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
- Can you provide a source for that? TJ Spyke 23:07, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Main Event KOTR 2001 issue
Can someone please explain to me why the simple statement to the mainevent is Austin pinned Benoit after hitting him with the WWF Title belt. Because that simly did not happen unless anyone can provide a soruce or link to prove this.The ending was that Benoit hit a back suplex on Jericho off the top rope and Austin then attempted to pin him.That is the final ending no question about it.If someone just keeps changing to what it is now for fun or no reason I would like to know.Debate on this would be apperciated. Thanks ~
