These non-stop tournament matches have been killing WWE for me

[Cattle Mutilation]

They have those tourneys because they need to fill tv time. Especially considering when they don't have enough stories to go around for their entire roster. Tourneys can be good if done right and with interesting matchups. Not every match is pointless. Depends on what they do with it. Not every wrestler gonna be involved in an interesting storyline. Only a few usually are. Tourneys are good to showcase the wrestling. Need a good mix of both wrestling and stories.

Also you can have stories that develop as a result of what happens in the tournament. How many times have we seen a story emerge or a new wrinkle in the story emerge due to the match? I know WWE has gotten people obsessed with "where's the story?" for every match before it even happens, but not everything has to work that way.
