So it's never coming back, is it?

Who knows? IC belt was retired for a period of time, but it came back.

I think WWE is planning on slowly reducing the number of belts. I mean, the company is packed with titles.
Until then, I like how they're integrating the cruiserweight divison into the rest of the divisions (Noble beating Palumbo).

They'll probably bring it back when Chavo returns.
After all, he has to have one reign with that belt at least once a year. Not sure why, but he does.

He's a great wrestler, but too many heel runs in a row kileld the belt's heat. The problem is, Chavo's way above the Cruiserweight belt. He had his feud with Mysterio and was put over - but he was dropped back down again. They should've let Yang hold the belt for a while, but he was made to look stupid when he could never go over Helms. |

Mysterio, while above the belt, would've given it a great rub. Helms coming back as Hurricane, or at the least a face Gregory, would really breath new life into the belt. |

*shrugs*
I kinda hope they don't bring it back at all and just blend the cruiserweights into the U.S. Title division. Jamie Noble for U.S. Champ, anyone?

I heard they were bringing it back with a new name and new image, sort of an X-Division look to it.

I'm glad it's gone. The Crusierweight Title and the Crusierweight moniker have held back guys for far too long in my opinion. They never did anything with it, they never will do anything with it, so it's best just to push the smaller guys with the bigger guys instead of keeping them separate.

Me too, with the belt around it seemed like the CW's were getting kept in the cryogenic freezing chamber until they had to be brought out once every couple of months when they decided to do a big randomly thrown together texas tornado or gauntlet match. Looking at someone like Chavo, he spent most of his last CW title reign making appearances as part of jobber tag team. He didn't end up doing anything of not until they took the belt off him, and built him back up to face Rey. I'm with you, with all the complaints about lack of roster depth, if there are CW's who can help the US and SD! Tag divisions, than use them there instead of in a division which will just be ignored. (I know tag team wrestling isn't strong right now, but SD! seems to pay a little attention to their tag belts at least, unlike RAW.) |

Ditch the belt. Integrate the cruiserweight division into the rest of the roster:
Jamie Noble: Make him a regular on ECW. He would be a great champ, and honestly, it's the only major belt I'd buy him with.
Shannon Moore and Jimmy Wang Yang: Jobber tag for both ECW and Smackdown.
Funaki: What does he do? Is he still the "Numbah 1 Announcer"? Keep him there.
Nunzio: Yeah. Keep him as a jobber. He's good at selling.
Chavo Guerrero: Elevate him to the US title, or move him to ECW or Raw.
Gregory Helms: Bring him back on Raw. IC Title feud with Jeff Hardy and Super Crazy.
Did I miss anyone?

If they reform it like someone said and turn it into a X-division sort of thing, then the WWE is goin to have to get rid of the safe style BS they have now, or its just goin to be the cruiser weight belt all over again, but probably with a spinning X and diamonds on it.
