Listen, I've seen at least 3 tournaments in these WCW viewings and they sucked. All of them.
Something in WCW sucked? Pffft, pull the other one. It's got bells on.

One night tournaments are the worst. Fuck King of the Ring unless it happens over a few weeks. Only semi finals and finals should be done on the same night. No four round bullshit in one night.
I agree that longer tournaments are better, although that's not to say you can't have a good single night tournament. It's rare, I'll concede, but not impossible.
But, really, how hard would it be to fill a single throwaway WWE PPV and three weeks of TV build-up with a tournament? So easy. Including RAW & Smackdown, you'd have 15 hours of television to get the preliminary matches out of the way, leaving the semis & final for the PPV.

My favorite event from WWE was ALWAYS King of the Ring. It wasn't always perfect, but some of my favorite pushes of all time came from it.
Yeah, I always loved KotR, it always disappointed me to see WWE give it such short shrift in recent years. Same goes for Survivor Series.
