I miss one-night tournaments

[wildojinx]

While I know that stretching the tournaments out through weeks give the companies matches to promote, I miss the feel that one night tournaments like King of the Ring and the like have. Seeing the wrestlers having to fight multiple matches in one night adds to their toughness in kayfabe.

Yeah I'm a big fan of these too, there's a lot drama that can be built by doing it in one night.

Though my favourite tournament, from Starrcade 90, has very little drama, and it's obvious who's going to win.. but I love it haha

I do wish we got them sometimes, but I get that it does tend to lead to some filler or cop-out matches, along with more potential injuries if you don't make those compromises. Still, a bit of creativity can at least make some of those compromises work.

It’s kind of crazy that there are so many companies we can watch right now and no one does one just to be different. TNA did one a few years ago for a mixed tag tournament deal. Which wasn’t really for anything but to give Deonna another thing on her resume but they at least did it the right way by breaking up rounds with non-tournament matches. I’d kill for someone to fill a vacant belt with a one night 8 slot tournament.

Yeah, I watched the tournament for the WWE UK title a few years ago and didn't know hardly anybody in it, but it was still a really fun watch.

I wish they'd bring them back. Think of think of the incredible stories told and stories told within the story on KOTR 93 and 96. It is also an easy way to make a new star (Owen, Austin, Savage, etc.).

Yes, it was overlong, but the Macho Man storyline was superbly told that night.

Love WrestleMania 4. I don't find it long or boring or anything other people complain about, if anything it's too short, although they could have taken 4 or 5 hours out of that Rude vs. Jake match to find the time for other matches.
