5 Mistakes That WWE Needs To Avoid In The 2019 King Of The Ring Tournament

WWE has announced that the King of the Ring tournament will be returning. We have put together some mistakes that WWE needs to avoid when booking this years tournament.

Mistake #5: Not Giving Tournament Matches Enough Time

I will start with an important one. The tournament is called the King of the Ring, so my hope is that tournament matches are given a decent amount of time.

Looking at the current field of competitors, there is a ton of talent here. I think that it would be a big mistake to give us a bunch of 5-minute matches. WWE needs to allow the competitors to shine as this will be a big moment for a lot of them. A guy like Buddy Murphy is known for his in-ring talent so it would be stupid to have one of his matches go 5-minutes. Give him at least 10-minutes to showcase to fans what he can do.

I am not saying that every match needs to be 15 minutes plus. I just want to see each match in the tournament receive a decent amount of time. Plus, RAW is 3-hours, so it is not like they don’t have enough time to work with. There should be plenty of extra time for these guys to have solid matches.

In my opinion, it would be a mistake to feature a bunch of short matches.


Mistake #4: Not Using The Tournament To Make New Stars

WWE also has a big opportunity to build new stars in this tournament. With a few wins and great matches, it could really help raise the stock of some Superstars on the roster.

Take for example someone like Cedric Alexander. He is a guy who actually got signed by WWE because of his impressive performance in the Cruiserweight Classic. That was a prime example of letting a talent showcase their abilities. As a result, the fans ended up getting behind him. They could easily do this with a few guys during the King of the Ring tournament. Book an underdog or two to go deep in the tournament, putting on great matches in the process. I could easily see WWE fans getting behind another guy as they did with Cedric a few years ago.

I always see tournaments as a way to build new stars. Superstars don’t have to necessarily win but they can still put on great performances and gain a lot of momentum and fans in the process.

It would be a mistake to have all of the established names win their matches. They need to mix in a few new guys and let them see what they can do.
