Cruiserweight Division is stale....

[Guest RenegadeX28]

Lately, I think that the CW division is boring. I like Noble as champ, but they put him in matches that have already happened. He has already fought everyone in the division, except maybe Shannon Moore.

 

But, I guess it will be changing tonight. With Rey Jr making his big debut, I am hoping that the CW division gets the recognition it truly deserves.

 

What I really want to see: Jamie vs Rey. Best match for the CW Belt.

They need to move Crash, Spike, to Smack down...use Funaki and Chavo more, and then you would have a pretty intresting division...

 

Rey

Chavo

Funaki

Moore

Helms

Kidman

Tajari

Noble

 

toss in a Hardy and you are alright for a while.

[Guest BionicRedneck]

To be fair, i don't think the CW division had a chance a being anything other than shit. Vince has had the same four wrestlers (Noble, Helms, Kidman and Tajiri) and once or twice Chavo wrestle the awful "WWE style". CruiserWeights and the WWE have never mixed, even when cruisers were sucessful it was outside the division (X-Pac etc.)

 

Hopefully the WWE will actually let Rey wrestle his style, instead of shitty WWE style matches.

[Guest Ripper]

Yeah...if they lettem fly then it will be cool. The funny thing is, the only guy that wresltes like a cruiser is arguably the most over guy in the company(RVD). The X-Division in NWA-TNA is getting alot of attention because of the flyers...Jeff Hardy is incredibly over and he only does one or two high flying moves...yet they make the cruisers wrestle like heavy weights.

 

I don't get it. To much logic I guess.

imagine if rey busted out a dragoncanrana tonight

[Guest MarvinisaLunatic]

yeah....imagine...

He'd then "pay his dues" on Velocity fighting Albert for 3 months.

Ooh.

After seeing Red bust out a standing shooting star press from the mat last night...and a few other things I've never seen before...Rey has his work cut out for him to top the things that the X division is doing.

 

Then again...Rey is the biggest cruiser acquasition the WWE has ever made...and they are treating it with the respect it deserves.

 

So let's hope they turn these guys loose. They should be a main reason to watch SD! not jobbers to guys like Holly and Test in KOTR qualifiers.

that Holly-Test match was sick(ly)

[Guest Moleculo]

Quite frankly,the idea that Rey,whos' been broken down for the past few years,will help revive the CW division any more than the new-found use of psychology and slower pace to make the highspots,and wrestlers who are highspot masters (a la the old Rey) look more impressive by comparison is ridiculous.The Funaki/(K)Noble match on Velocity ruled because it featured Noble logically working over a limb for the submission victory.I'm sick and damn tired of spotfests or "punch/kick/clothesline/big move" WWE main events and the inclusion of psychology and logical in-match storytelling makes me happy.See,I'm happy.

Hey... nothing wrong with being on Velocity.

 

Also, I think the cruiserweight division is starting to pick up because of Knoble and his preference of mat-based psychology over "flippy-floppy" highspots. While highspots are certainly impressive, if that's all that's done match after match it does begin to get boring.

 

However, the main problem with the "cruiserweight division" is the same problem of every division, in that there's simply not enough men to limit it that much, and for lack of new blood, it simply becomes the same guys over and over again. The most extreme example of this is the tag division... I'd say that's in much more need of an "overhaul" than the cruiserweight division ever would, but that's off topic.

 

Is the cruiserweight division stale? I don't think so. Now that it's starting to pick up a bit, even though it's "watered down" compared to "real" cruiserweights (whatever that means), it's still home to some of my favorite wrestlers and matches right now.
