Hey Cats & Kittens

So for the first time in two years, there is a new king in the WWE and his name is William Regal. I'm sure a lot of people are pissed that CM Punk isn't the KOTR winner (I'm kinda ticked from a fan fic writting perspective) but it's something that Regal does deserve.

If you look at a lot of he early KOTR winners had impressive resumes before winning the crown. Don Muraco was an IC Champ, Harley Race was a multi-time NWA Champ, Randy Savage held both the IC and WWE Titles before he was crowned, Tito Santana held both Tag Team Gold and IC gold, Bret Hart was an IC, Tag and WWE Champ before he won his two TWO KOTR crowns. And of course Booker T was a 5 Time WCW Champ, IC Champ, Tag Champ, US Champ....etc, etc, etc before he won the crown in 2006

It wasn't until Owen Hart winning in 1994 that it became a 'launching pad' for the next big thing. And while Regal is not the next big thing, he certainly has the legacy deserving of it just by his WWE Career alone which includes the following

4 Time European Champion
5 Time Hardcore Champion
1 Time Intercontinental Champion
4 Time Tag Team Champion

And since Regal may not ever win a World Title, winning of King of the Ring is the closest thing possible. So congrats Regal... you deserve it.

Of course that's just my opinion... I could be wrong.
