It's not like UFC and Boxing (which is where it's from) only do the arm raise thing by judge's decision. They do it on obvious knock outs and submission victories as well. Well, that's me exposed as someone who's never watched a full boxing match or MMA fight in his life Still think it looks weird in a wrestling context and that copying 'real' sports isn't a good look for wrestling at all. Unless it's a flash pin or you're doing a staredown/handshake afterwards, the loser standing side-by-side with the victor negates the victory somewhat in my eyes, plus on a live show the loser would either have to get up really quickly after being dropped with the finisher or there'd be a lot more waiting around than usually occurs in wrestling while they wait for them to get up. I do like the losers are usually selling while standing there.

I think it makes sense in a tournament setting to have them raise the winners hand at the end with the competitors stood next to each other. There isn't a storyline, it's just to find the best cruiserweight so it can be treated like a proper/legit sport. It wouldn't work on the main roster when the wrestlers are meant to hate each other. Hell, in kayfabe, this is what wrestling would be if heels didn't exist and instigate feuds.

Like everything else in the Cruiserweight Classic, it was great.
