Yeah, but the tournament itself helps them. I think there’s been one guy that has won at the Dome because of it. And I might be wrong, but I think there have been times where the tournament itself is the push. I’m thinking Naito and Omega, but I might be wrong.
Comparatively, the King of the Ring is more an anchor. You can be getting a push and then the tournament ruins it. The guy I will say it helped is Booker T. The King Booker gimmick may have mixed critical response, but it did put Booker in the SmackDown main events.
