Finally, we're seeing God's greatest gift to mankind aka Neville step foot in this horrid division to show them how it's done. Surely, Neville with his Peter Parker-like agility and Akuma-like diverse moveset will show what Cruiserweights in today's WWE can truly do. My favorite thing about Neville showing up again is that we get more posts from kn about how much swag he has.

I loved it. Neville looked like an utter badass.

Kalisto and Neville were both awesome on NXT. Both have struggled on the main roster, with some good booking, inserting them into the CW division can only be great for everyone involved.

It's pretty hilarious to me that a jobber who's never on TV coming out and just straight punching the happy-go-lucky dancing guy in the face straight after he had a match got one of the biggest pops the Cruiserweight division has had to date. Maybe it's because he's established on the main roster having been there for some time and hasn't just been plucked out of nowhere and tossed out in front of the main roster crowd with nothing more to establish them than a web show. While many of the cruisers have an indy pedigree, they're several tiers below guys like Owens and Styles in terms of name value, the fanbase needs to be given reasons to care, and so far that hasn't happened.

The cruiserweight division should be inter brand and with more main roster guys fighting for the title and putting those new guys over or at least known to the audience

Loved it.
The most interesting Neville has been to me since NXT. And even then he was a no-nonsense badass kinda guy.
He wears pseudo-heel very well.

What on earth happened to him? He looked genuinely like an entirely different person.

I'm down with heel Neville, it's different. But can Neville roll with this?

I don't think the division was planned until after the CWC started, and they'd already defined the 205 weight limit with that. Jericho is about 230 IIRC

Who else on the main roster can compete as a CW? Neville and Kalisto, obviously. I believe Xavier Woods is just at 205. Enzo seems like a given. Maybe Ellsworth. Anyone else?

I'm happy about it it means no more purple cape, I was never crazy about it, but I think that's what the division needs, more sneak attacks and heel turns. Having the guys out there doing flips can only go so far.

By the way, was I the only one who liked how he just made a beeline out there and started punching the crap out of everyone? There was no fake congratulations or anything. Just roll in, and *THWAK*

Having the guys out there doing flips can only go so far. How about a return of CM Punk's favorite trick (at least in WWE), whacking people over the head with the mic in the middle of a promo?

I've always been more partial to the Wade Barrett, "Oh, that's a good poi--" *headbutt*

People wanted the cruisers to be seperate but equal. The problem is that they aren't wrestling in front of a Full Sail crowd every week. They are in front of people who barely keep up the product and care more about character & familiarity than workrate and indy cred. It also don't help that the WWE main roster is vastly talented . John Cena bust out Yoshi tonics and Frankensteiners on a regular basis. Not much roon to stand out. But look how Jack Gallegher is getting over with character work and showmanship. Might want to follow that.
