Shamus as king of the ring is a pretty useless angle, i dunno where they are going wih this. They aren't gonna put the strap on Shamus anytime soon, not with a heel as champ and no face guys that are gonna take it from him any time soon if they put Orton on the shelf for a little while. Only way Shamus would get the belt now would be in some multi participant strange stipulation match, dude is big and scary enough to deserve a clean pin for a championship run. The way hes won all his world championships downplay what they are trying to make him, the big Irish red headed monster who destroyed HHH and a bunch of other guys. I don't think it woulda been too far off if they gave Shamus the Royal Rumble instead of KOR.
