Would you guys prefer to stick with a standard tournament or perhaps go with a specialty match finish to crown the inaugural tag team champions?

I feel like not everything needs bells and whistles to still be good, and not every match needs a gimmick, so my vote is on a standard tourney.

I’m asking because some people don’t like tournaments as much as we do and would find two back to back full brackets a bit boring.

I'm of two minds.

One, people love a good tournament. It gives a chance for multiple match-ups, and longer-term storylines. Individual matches are also easier to write compared to a massive multi-man with multiple teams, so while there may be "more writing" the matches stand out more and you can tell a longer-running narrative with it.

On the other hand, it can be nice with the... massive massive delay to have the champions be crowned sooner. Then if you want a Women's title we can wait a couple shows since most female talent are mid-storyline right now then when the time is right, decide what to do to determine a Women's champion.

Let's see, the teams that won and qualified are...

Top-Gun (Maverick and McMichaels)
The High Command
The Residence (Slate and Nova)
Nothern Touch
and Brian/Humanity and the Crimson ghost.

Five teams is a touch awkward for an average match and yet a bit awkward for a full tag tournament. If we want it to be even, then The Bordeaux's, since kayfabe wise got screwed by a pre-match attack and the won the Tag Turmoil, you mentioned they can get themselves back in the hunt because of it, so if we add them to it, we can make things even. If we do that, then I have an idea:

This show, if The Bordeauxs are involved, we can have three matches determined "in kayfabe" by a random lottery. Living up to the name of the Lethal Lottery. The three winners, go on to a match at the next show to determine the tag team champions. That we can do as a specialty Triple Threat which I think a Ladder match is a fun idea.

Have the right person writing it, can be a chaotic and fun match, protecting the top teams by not having any of them be pinned. That way also, the tag team titles, if you want them on a somewhat even plain compared to the world title, can be the main event THAT show then the AMA Grand Title's first defense gets to main event Lethal Lockup. That way neither one, a first title defense and the crowning of an inaugural champion, doesn't overshadow each other on the same card.

If we were gonna stick to a tournament than there would be more qualifying matches on the next show for sure.

Hmm, what teams though? Burgerman and Belly Boy... One of them is banned and Zinger seems to be done.

Ishii and Liberty aren't sticking around in kayfabe.

Shinzo is fighting to defend his belt and Sawyer got YEETED.

The Bordeauxs are around and kicking. (and someone gives Bellatrix a hug)

Then Malice got beat up by The Residence and I'm not sure if they are written out for a while or not.

All those teams already lost in the tournament.

I’d add my two teams, and then make some randoms.

Which would be the lottery portion of the name.

If that happens, I'd really prefer Bridges not be in that unless its absolutely necessary. Want him to be mainly a singles guy.

And I'm also hesitant to let Cali be in it. Although... actually, thinking about it, I have her "Stable" from Japan where I can have a partner of her's make a special appearance for the tournament just to team with her.

It’s a random lottery. If your team loses, he’d go back about his day.

I mean that would defeat the purpose of it being a lottery pairing, but I’m open if you want to do that I guess.

The main point of this topic isn’t how the booking would happen per say, but ideally how do you want the belts determined. In a multi team match or a tournament?
