[MVP]

What would be interesting is if they had a tourny say just on Smackdown (at a PPV, or maybe over two shows), where the champ is also in it. So, you'd actually have the top 8 guys or whatever in a tourny. The champ puts his belt on the line, and whoever wins the tourny is the champ. Only problem with that is that if you have the top 8 guys in there, that means 7 guys have to do JOBs, which isn't necessarily the best idea. I just dont like when they do the KOTR, and half the guys in the tourny are lower end mid carders, makes the thing look weak and pointless.

WWE is definitely better off without KOTR. With the brand split it'd be too much trouble to have a tournament for both brands, or a single tournament between both brands. Plus like you mentioned, superstars that are actually over would end up jobbing.

KOTR was overrated anyway. It didn't have much of a purpose besides credibility until Brock Lesnar won the 2002 KOTR and defeated The Rock at Summerslam for the Undisputed title, but at that time Brock took away a lot of appreciation for the tournament because he squashed all of his opponents.
