Way to bury the Cruiserwight Title, WWE! "Helms, one year ago today, won the Cruiserweight title. He still has it, but he's looking to move up to the heavyweight division."
If it hadn't been buried enough, you have a champ who never defends his title being REWARDED for his douchebaggery by his boss, GM Teddy Long, by being given an opportunity to challenge for a WORLD TITLE.
Whassup witdat?
Couldn't they have made Helms fight the CW's on Smackdown to eanr his shot, like one CW gets a chance. Helms says it should be him, the champ, so he has to defend the belt each weak against Spanky, London, Noble, Yang over the month leading up to the Rumble to get the spot. And then, let who's ever champ by that time get the final spot?
And that wouldn't have affected much either - just another 7 minute segment of good wrestling on a good show.
Meh. Rant, over.

Smackdown has Cruiserweights outside of Helms, London and Kendrick?

Scotty 2 Hotty and Funaki still have jobs. So does Noble.

Surprised Boogeyman didn't come out to distract Helms. Instead, he apparently just got tossed out by King Bookah.

I think Helms sees himself as a bigger draw than the CW division gives him scope for. Let him drop the belt and go forward with facing the bigger guys, I say.

Sorry, but the way they're booking Helms in every match he wrestles against somebody who weighs more than Matt Hardy, he's just made to look terrible. I know Booker is supposed to be cocky and all, but during the Beat the Clock Sprint match it was just ridiculous. And as much as I want to believe in Gregory "No-Defenses" Helms as a guy who can move up a division, they're not being very convincing. In fact, the only time Helms convinces me of anything is when he wrestles and that's it. JBL seems to be the only one in the whole damn company who puts over Helms and his is part kayfabe anyway.

If the CW champ is always seeking to move up a division, I don't see why he is still in the CW ranks. I would rather see a successful CW division of smaller guys nowhere near going over the 225 lb limit who just put on kick ass matches as cruisers. I think there is definitely a market for this--many of the WSX guys are absoluteley tiny compared to WWE folk. Weight class is certainly part of "real" wrestling, but more guys try to cut weight than move up in real life. I just don't get this as a storyline.

Bring back the Hurricane. YES![/gimmickposter] I agree with this. When Helms was the hurricane, I understood what he was saying and he was interesting. Then they apparently gave him a personality lobotomy when he abandoned the gimmick.
