LBT Revival + Ideas

[EtH]

So as you know, LBT was shut down earlier. With the prestige of the title due to its longevity and holders, I hate that shit. I haven't been a fan of LBT but I think a lot of the issue is that there just isn't a lot of interest. I got given a title match because I beat Saxx, who at the time wasn't really highly that highly regarded. Guys like Lock and Rai battle one another 347 times because they were the most talented. That's cool, but why not find something a little more interesting for them?

So my proposition is that I run LBT, with some big changes.

Firstly, entertainment will be key. I want matches built off of organic storylines, not having someone with a 5-1 record battling Lock cause hes the only one who didn't no show. I want shit like MadVerbs Vs Uniplural, the two cypher dudes settling shit through a battle. I want Subreal Vs Punk with the stipulations they penned in, I want Q Vs Rican to settle their recent dispute. Even if these aren't viable, I want to find opponents for people that interest them to show up, not the same old shit time and time again.

In addition to this, I'd want to bring in tag battling to keep that alive outside of the tournaments and introduce a lower tier so newer participants arent being steamrolled by vets and vets dont waste their time on throwaway battles.

Usually I'd have made this thread nicer but I'm on my phone at the minute. In short, I want to make sure the league is fun, all the while building guys up through matches they are interested in to ultimately make meaningful title challenges.

I won't make any moves unless I feel people want them though. So what are we thinking?
