If you ask me, the WWE was never meant to have a cruiserweight division. They should replace it with the hardcore title. At least that belt was over with the fans.

WWE killed cruiserweight wrestling.
It will never be taken seriously in that company.

I liked it better when it was called the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship. WWE figured branding it as a WCW title would work, sadly, it didn't.

I say let it die. I'd much rather see a TV title in its place.

Weight classes have no place in modern wrestling IMO. If Mysterio can be world heavyweight champ then what is the point?

I hope WWE doesn't seriously rebrand the cruiserweight title as some sort of new improved "x division" looking title. Because if they aren't gonna push the actual wrestlers who would be competing for that belt, then it's all in vain. They could rename the Cruiserweight championship "the super sexy godlike championship of the universe". If the man holding it hardly defends it and his opponents are relegated to the C show, then it's still pointless. And if WWE didn't care about these guys when it was called the Cruiserweight championship, they arent gonna miraculously start caring about them now.

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

The thing with the cruiserweight division is the chance to see two smaller guys put on a fast paced match. Mixing cruisers with heavyweights is great, but having two high flying guys together is what made the division special.
I wouldn't mind them bringing the Hardcore title back in its place though, and trying to sell high flying as an "unorthodox" style in the whole hardcore thing.

So it's never coming back, is it? It will always be in your heart and your mind as you believe in it. And so will the fact that last one to have it was a phony ass leprechaun.

I disagree about the weight divisions having no place in modern wrestling. Rey jr. can be Heavyweight Champion because you can wrestle a division up, and because heavyweight it an open division. The US and IC titles are heavyweight titles too, after all. You know, if the roster was deeper, I'd buy even more weight divisions. I'd love to see a major Middleweight Division in wrestling, or even a flyweight division for the tiny 5'3" guys who can't get a break. I guess most fans wouldn't buy this though. Oh well, at least Mexico has the NWA World Middleweight Championship.
