I don't get this one either. Just like the royal rumble, tournaments have built in intrigue and I don't even really understand why they're not doing one now to settle the vacancy. Every sport has a tournament of some kind and it only makes sense for WWE to have their own version of it.
The idea that a guy like Bret Hart could wrestle three times in one night was also a draw to me. Imagine if Daniel Bryan won King of the Ring to kick off his WWE Title push this summer by beating Randy Orton in the finals, who in turn won MITB and cashed it in when Bryan got his title shot. It would have all tied together really well, but they're not doing things like that.
I think what bugs me more is the inconsistency. Some years they have KOTR, other years they don't. It's like the McRib.
I know there's a section of people who don't like gimmick PPVs, but I've always thought ones like Royal Rumble, King of the Ring, and anything where you gather a good section of the roster to elevate one person for a night have always been solid. Even Money in the Bank, while I'm tired of the briefcase, I enjoy the PPV and the matches usually.
