Also just going to point out here too: Tom King tweeted this today:

Doesnt that contradict his claim that DiDio picked Booster and Harley and gave him the list of characters to kill

I think DC sent King a list of character he can kill (which imply King plans to kill a lot of characters). I don't think DC order the death of the characters in the list.
Regarding DC picking Harley and Booster, I don't remember that. Where is that information?
Although it could be characters he was allowed to use.

With people in general what they do shows more of their intentions rather than what they say. Especially in this case with the PR angle.
Based on Kings history I don't think he has a particular dislike to any hero specifically. But we do know that he doesn't give a crap about a hero's history or even personality. So I don't think he had any preference. Maybe Booster since he wrote him before and tore him apart. And he is a weird choice for this.
The rest is obvious who's choice it was based on history and the actual words out of his mouth. We know that Didio doesn't like Wally and the Titans generation. So it's no coincidence that they are getting massacred literally and figuratively. As for Harely we know Didio is a pr guy so he would push her based on marketing.
The bad writing and trauma and bs psycho issues are obviously king since he puts that in every one of his stories. The specific heroes and the particular crapping on them as well as all the death and gore ala Identity Crisis is Didio all the way.
My name is Wally West. I"m the fastest man alive. I"m the Flash.
Favorite Heroes - 1-Flash/Wally West, 2-Superman, 3-Green Lantern/Hal Jordan, 4-Nightwing, 5-Hawkman, 6-Firestorm, 7-Supergirl/Linda Danvers, 8-Zatanna, 9-Robin/Tim Drake
According to Didio, the death of Wally was idea of King. Didio say this in an interview:
"We did an interview and a panel, and God bless Tom King for reminding me of my own statements," the Co-Publisher said. "He said, 'I take the word Crisis very seriously. I remember when Dan did an interview in 2007 and said you can't have the word Crisis and have a live Flash. You've got to kill a Flash every Crisis. I take those things to heart.' I didn't give him that thought.

I didn't say this to shift the blame from Didio (since he still allow Heroes in Crisis), but I think it was idea of Tom King to kill Wally.
I mean Tom King was along Dan Didio in the Comic-Con International in San Diego when Didio say it was King idea.
