I've been thinking about this since the Cruiserweight Division was announced. Should Chris Jericho be a part of it? I'd like to see him in a similar role that Jushin Liger has played in New Japan's junior division for a while, the veteran who can work with (and put over) some of the young guys.

The Cruiserweight weight limit is 205 lbs.
No. No, he shouldn't.

No, but I want some fat guy heel to pull a Buddy Rose and claim to be a lean 204.

That's a great way to put I've a cruiserweight that they want to elevate to the main event. Have old man Jericho claim that TJP stole what Jericho did years ago. Jericho says that he can still beat him then have TJP win the feud.

I would love for sone more WWE-ized guys to get involved with that division. I think the WCW CW division was, what, 225 lbs? If Jericho really weighs that much I'd be surprised.

Should Jericho wrestle the Cruiserweights? Absolutely. Chris Jericho vs. any of those guys would be great.
Should he be treated as a potential contender for the Cruiserweight Title? No. If Jericho is part of the Cruiserweight division then either he has to Gail Kim everyone or he has to get Bray Wyatt DEH'd or Deus Ex Machina'd by some other means out of winning the belt just so the others have a realistic shot at it.

Why? This is one of several posts I have seen talking about how the CW is below people or they are too good for it. The CW Division is for smaller guys, not guys that aren't as good. |

Have him stay as he is but still play up hid CW past and TJP puts him in his place. Goes to show that the CWs can hang with the 'normal' roster. |

The Cruiserweight division IS for smaller guys, BUT you know that if one of them manages to get hugely over they WILL be moved away from the Cruiserweights. Jericho can wrestle guys like Gallagher and Metallik every week on RAW, and he can even lose to them. But he shouldn't go after Perkins and the belt at all. My point is that he doesn't have to be IN the Cruiserweight division to put the Cruiserweights over |
