Owen Tourney
By Scott Keith on May 16, 2022
Hi Scott,
If they're going to do the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament every year, don't you think it could be even more intriguing/special if they leaned into having guys who are normally tag team specialists competing in singles matches as the whole tournament? I feel like the competitors put in qualifying matches — at least on the men's side — would have seemed less arbitrary if they were all tag team wrestlers, like they did with FTR? And it kind of makes sense with Owen's as a great tag team and singles wrestler. Or is that needlessly complicated and tournaments are awesome enough on their own?

It would be nice if there was some stakes or otherwise rhyme or reason to the tournament bracketing and qualification and such. Like Jeff and Darby jumping off ladders wasn’t exactly paying tribute to Owen ya know?
