I am starting a new circuit and am having an eight man tournament that takes place 1 match a week than the semi's and final match on the same show so the first month of the circuit will be centered around introducing the guys and the title, the eight guys in the tournament are heels Eddie Guerrero Matt Hardy Jeff Jarrett Shane Douglas and faces Chris Benoit Dean Malenko Rob Van Dam Jerry Lynn how would you bracket the tournament and who would you have win?

First, look at your roster.  Identify your biggest face and heel names.  You don't want to give the title to either of them, as they don't need it to hold your title to get over.  Have them feud with each other instead.

You want to give it to either the 2nd biggest name face or the second biggest name heel.  A face chasing the Heel's title will probably make for more interesting shows, but what you choose is really up to you.

So...  I'd put it something like:

Jeff Jarrett
vs.
Dean Malenko

Shane Douglas
vs.
Jerry Lynn

Eddie Guerrero
vs.
Chris Benoit

Matt Hardy
vs.
Rob Van Dam

And I'd give the belt to either Douglas or Benoit while Jarrett feuded with RVD and the rest moved to the midcard at least temporarily.

But that's just me.
