2747568, Round Robins are a tough sell, which I get Posted by pretentious username, Tue Oct-05-21 12:07 AM
But man, when they’re pulled off well it’s the best thing out there. I love a good bracket tournament too, of course, but following and being invested in all the narratives in the G1 every year has been super rewarding. Every year there’s the guys trying to prove they’re the best, the guys trying to prove they can match up with the best, the guys trying to prove they’re better than they were last year, and the guys just trying to prove they belong in the tournament. For a company that doesn’t do a lot of character work, this tournament has made me become invested in multiple wrestlers I didn’t give a shit about before. I’d say that’s like 20x more important to me than the winner and their prize.
