Aries might also end up over the weight limit if they are still enforcing that on the road. Wikipedia has him billed at 202 which is just pushing it. I can see them being a bit lenient on the weight limit if I'm honest. I still can't fathom how Fabian Aichner was below 205...

Aries might be someone they consider "too good" for the division. that is the really dumb on WWE's part if they do this, Aries is too good, but Neville isn't? they need "interesting people" in the division, cos at the moment there all really good in the ring (Bollywood boys not included) but they all have nothing at all about them other then weird hand movements in there intros (Noam Diar i'm looking at you!) or a 3 minute talky talk taped weeks ago. Jack Gallagher's trunks had more personality them then Cedric Alexander. Cedric has more personality than Apollo Crews currently, and he showed it all in the ring, I love him AND Gallagher so I really don't mind both being signed
As for Aries being "Too good", that's Ludacris thinking, remember HHH is booking this division, it could be a great way to bring Aries in as a Gap Bridger for this division and the main roster, he brings more legitimacy to the belt too if he becomes champion, and would put on a clinic with any of these guys. I really don't see a big in for him on the main roster right now other than this unless they wait a few more months to call him up. But he's over, he's a great heel and as said the Division could use more than one heel and would boost the division instantly

I believe what they mean is don't feed these guys to Braun in week three. Feed Hoho to Nia Jax...I'd laugh. I would actually like an angle where one of the smaller cruiserweights is Nia's bitch boyfriend. Nia dragging perpetually confused HoHo in front of her German mother would be gold.

We've really shifted from when many considered a finale of ZSJ/Ibushi as a given.
Damn, Noam Dar may just beat Sabre now.

I see Gargano getting called up but not Ciampa building up the feud between the two on NXT.

Two of my least favourites, an already signed NXT guy and Brian Kendrick.
50/50 ain't bad.

Ok, yeah, he did a Dab (Dubstep in Daniel Bryanese), and that's stupid, but the dude has amazing chain wrestling skill and can high fly with the best of them. He's been one of the top indy guys for a very long time, he's basically this Generations X Pac in terms of being a Young Vet. Not many can say they have over 15 years experience and JUST turned 30...

I hear the same about Dar. All I have to go on is their CWC matches and TJ didn't impress me whatsoever.

Dar is 23, he's way less experienced than TJP is and the youngest in the Tourney, Perkins had a great round one match, I don't know what more you'd want from a guy, just feels like because he dabbed and looks a little like a Foreign Miz you instantly hate him

I nothing him. His wrestling was smooth but I forgot it instantly, he looks like old school Miz, his dance moves were irritating and he was insanely hyped but then outclassed by, off the top of my head, Kendrick, Nese, Sabre, Kota, Ali, Metalik, Saez, Aichner, Swann, Alexander... These things are subjective. And yes an irritating gimmick can be the be all end all just like a great gimmick can get a shit wrestler over.

Different strokes, I think TJP is gonna kill it in this division, he's a hell of a story and people have been following his career for years, after his disaster of a TNA run, it's great to see this for him.

I never saw him in TNA anyway and unless I know their work anyway I am deliberately not investigating the guys in the tourney. 20 minutes to sink or swim! Edit: and for what it's worth I haven't seen anyone agree with me. Most people agree with you that he is killing it.

New Announcements: Ciampa, Alexander, Gargano We Signed Cedric I think brining up Gargano and Ciampa is a great idea. Even with their push as a tag team, it seemed like were never going to being a central part of NXT, so they might as well be kicked up to the main roster since they're already solid in ring.

Surprised they called up both Ciampa and Gargano and super pleased Alexander's been signed. Dude pretty much showed he's WWE ready ironically via a match with a non WWE talent in Ibushi.
This division is getting tastier by the week.

Awww man, I wanted Ciampa/Gargano to continue as a team in NXT. Maybe they work both RAW and NXT for a while?
Can't wait for Cedric, Metalik, Swann and co., got a feeling Gallagher and Tozawa will join in
