EAW King of Elite Tournament

King of Elite is a e-wrestling single-elimination tournament held by Elite Answers Wrestling. The tournament was held annually throughout the month of January at its namesake free-per-view. The only tournament to be hosted at the FPV itself is the very first King of Elite Tournament, The 2008 King of Extreme tournament.

History
The King of Elite Tournament is a single elimination tournament that began as a two-night tournament to crown a "King of EAW". During the time of extreme, the matches were no disqualification per usual. The tournament would continue in standard singles matches with extreme rules until the final two competitors. The final two would face in what has become a tradition in the King of Elite Tournament, a Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match where the crown is hanging in the air ripe for the taking. The only time that there has been no TLC Match for the finals match was at the 2015 King of Elite where the finals took place in a standard triple threat match. Once a competitor has secured the crown, they were given the title of either "King of Extreme" under Extreme Answers Wrestling or "King of Elite" under Elite Answers Wrestling as well as the reward of being able to cash in their crown to be able to earn a world championship opportunity of their choosing. An extra stipulation applies to the King of Elite crown where the holder of the crown must announce when he shall cash in his opportunity before his eventual match against the champion. The crown can also be added as a stipulation to be competed for. Only two people have ever won the crown from a King of Extreme winner, MaK and Captain Charisma. Every winner of the tournament is allowed to also don the use of a "king gimmick". MaK gave himself the title of "King MaK" when we won the crown from Knocka. Others would follow suit with the use of the "king gimmick" with Robbie V ("King Robbie V"), Power ("King Power"), Captain Charisma ("King Charisma"), Dark Demon ("King Demon"), Liam Catterson ("King Catterson"), and Lannister ("King Lannister"). Only one person has used the "king gimmick", but not used the title of king. Robbie V when winning the King of Extreme crown for an unprecedented second time chose to be named Mikado Sekaiichi.
