Either way, the shit matches on the card are going to mean more and be more interesting if its a tournament to crown a new TV champ.
A wrestler makes the title great, but a title can make the match work. You think people would want to watch Batista and Booker duke it out month after month, night after night if it wasnt about a title? Shit even Austin and Rock clashing repeatedly wouldnt draw as much if it wasnt about the belt. It serves as a launching pad for the fued and gives a match meaning. It draws basically.
If you have matches on the card with guys like Knoxx, Dreamer, Sandman, Thorn and Striker, people are going to care more if its a tournament to crown a new TV champion or for another spot in that title match.

And as for the one hour thing, its a combination of the lack of talent and the one hour thing. The talent could get over better with more time, you make a good case with the mathematics and such on paper, but the common sense of it is that with 1 hour you can't promote a ppv as well as you can with 2.
