I don't know why they don't shift that belt along with all of the Cruiserweight guys over to ECW, sort of like the Light Heavyweight Title used to be with Sunday Night Heat (and don't tell me ECW isn't like Heat because it is..third tier WWE program). The Light Heavyweight Title was on Heat (Christian vs. Gillberg/TAKA vs. Aguilera anyone?) and while most of the crowd probably didn't care about it, it gave the guys a platform. I really wish the WWE would do this. However, I do agree with whoever said that the Cruiserweights will probably never get a chance in the WWE. Want proof? The Cruiserweight Open at Wrestlemania XX was a top Cruiserweight class, and that match was given zero time and was essentially meant to be a Rey/Chavo singles match.

i thought the same thing the last time they patterned their failed lightweight division after a rivals successful division. it didn't help then. i hope it would now though.

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 think part of that was because X-pac suddenly left tv while still holding the Light Heavy Title... in the middle of the beltfusingstravaganza.

They should try the cruiserweights out in ECW. It couldn't hurt, and they could bill it as part of the uniqueness of ECW.

I always thought they stuck with WCW's belt because it was seen as the more legitimate of the two.
