Opinions for King of the Ring
I'm a few years into a game as WCW. I bought out the WWF a couple years ago and now I'm at my second King of the Ring pay per view (May '95). I was going to go with Owen Hart as the winner, followed by him chasing or trading the Intercontinental belt with Razor Ramon, with the blowoff being around Halloween Havoc or Fall Brawl. But just now I thought about Raven. Currently Raven is three months into a reign as US Heavyweight champ and about to blowoff a feud with Tracy Smothers in a no ropes barbed wire death match. He's been the leader of his Nest for a while, and I was thinking that sometime in the winter or spring, I'd put the world title on him. Eventually, possibly at Starrcade '96, he'll drop the belt to Cactus Jack in one of those stories where the underling rises up to stop taking abuse from the faction leader.
Part of me thinks Owen's the right choice because he's got no feuds going on and I can use the momentum from the win to fuel the feud with Razor, but the other part of me just really likes the idea of Raven as King of the Ring, and I just don't want to crown him after or during a world title run. Owen won't be getting a world title until at least in-game 1997. Just curious what anyone else thinks.
In case anyone is wondering, I am doing WCW and the WWF as two brands with two separate world titles, but no separate pay per views, at least for now. Current champions are Rick Rude, who will be dropping the WCW World title to Curt Hennig in the King of the Ring main event, and Bam Bam Bigelow, who will probably drop the WWF belt to Bret Hart sometime during the summer.
