Can we please just end the Cruiserweight division?

[Jobber of the Week]

Let's face it, guys, Cruiserweights are never going to get the proper push they deserve as a group, and with Vince wanting to form an ECW brand, we could successfully dissolve some good CWs who have nowhere to go in the new ECW while reviving areas that need help with the rest.

 

Here's what I'd do with the various guys:

 

Tajiri/Akio/Sakoda: Go to ECW

Billy Kidman: Tag team with Shane Helms (what the hell is he doing on Raw, anyway?)

Chavo Guererro: Singles star

Funaki: Whatever. Not like they're doing anything with him ever anyway.

Jamie Noble: Go to ECW

Nunzio: Go to ECW

Paul London: Tag team with Shannon Moore

Rey Mysterio: Singles star

Shannon Moore: Tag team with Paul London

Ultimo Dragon: Is this guy even going to be employed post-Mania?

 

In addition, move some of the guys who have personality but not enough screen time over to the new ECW (Dudleys, RVD, etc) and we've done four things:

 

* Thinned the Raw/SD rosters enough that they no longer need to be split, and you would have WWE and ECW

* Given solid workers with nowhere to go such as Tajiri and Noble a place with Paul E where they can be booked better

* Made two singles stars with Chavo and Rey

* Added a popular new tag team in Moore/London following the Hardys "two guys that people pop for because they're attractive and kill themselves" formula.

 

Letting go of the Raw/SD split would also fill the void Brock has left in the main event by allowing main eventers on both sides to match up against each other. ECW wouldn't have as much star power except maybe RVD, but it rarely ever did anyway and it comes complete with it's own group of diehard fans so it doesn't need some ultracharasmatic main to make people watch.

 

ECW > Cruiserweight Division

I'll agree with Vince here and say that no one will watch an all Cruiser Show. Oh wait, Vince hadn't said anything yet..

 

Vince : No one will watch a show with nothing but Cruiserweights on it.

I didn't say a show with only cruiserweights. I said dissolve the cruiser division, put the guys that can hang with the brawlers (Noble, Tajiri) in ECW, and use the flippy-floppy guys (Mysterio, Kidman, Moore) differently.

I guess I read your first post a bit wrong.

 

I dont think they should kill off the cruiserweight division on Smackdown. If anything they could make it better by moving guys like the Hurricane and Spike Dudley over to Smackdown.

[RavishingRickRudo]

Yeah, and lets get rid of the womens division too!

 

RRR: Has his own agenda

[Guest I Got Banned for Sucking]

I agree about the lackluster Cruiserweight Division (the booking, not the workers).

 

That's not to say that the act can't be picked up a bit, however.

 

Getting off-topic...

 

The SmackDown! Tag Team Division right now - take a look at Survivor Series 2002.

 

Now, that's booking!

 

That was also back when we had a fun Cruiserweight Division.

[Guest Mulatto Heat]

Actually the CW division is more fun today than it was at SS 2002.

 

I still don't get the point of taking the title off of Noble and putting it on Kidman.

[Guest Goodear]

I must be the only one that thinks that the Cruiserweight division is plum full of heatless and under impressive workers that would be jobbing to Psicosis and Super Calo if they were in WCW at that time. Only Rey Mysterio and Tajiri have anything resembling heat and Rey simply blows Tajiri out of the water. People hardly care about Nunzio, Chavo or Noble and would rather go to the bathroom than sit through a match with any of the other guys in the division. NEWS FLASH: No one cares about Ultimo Dragon.

This ECW deal won't fly, and if somehow it does they'll piss it up. My main problem with the cruisers is that the belt only goes with the feud. If Chavo has the belt and is feuding with Rey, you know one of them will have the title. In WCW anyone could win the belt at any time, and it made it that much better.
