Man that Dixie crying screen cap is getting a lot of use over the last month or so isn't it?

Sorry, I thought the sarcasm was pretty apparent given how lacklustre I think TJP is. I'm just saying that TJP winning wasn't all that surprising given the history of mishandling Mexican talent from his incidents with Del Rio to the booking of Sombra.

Bruh..Haven't you seen Triple H constantly saying "who ever wins will be the Best In The World"? CM Punk is sitting at 170 right now. He's coming back to win that title and hold it forever. It's all calculated.

205? Maybe.

Really glad they awarded the CW title to the winner of the CWC. No way they could do anything on Raw that would make the title mean more.
You always work the right side of the body (right arm /right leg) in lucha, left side in US style. So just a mistake by him.

Sin Cara, his lucha spirit broken by Braun Strowman,comes to murder all of the cruiserweights.

Rich Swann constantly marking out really heightened the enjoyment of that final match.

It's pretty crazy that La SOMBRA wasn't in this thing and instead have him do a Mexican males gimmick

WWE notifications specifically say first cruiserweight champion "on RAW".
Makes me think they really are going to do a smsckdown cruiserweight division

"Don't attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence"
I don't think it has anything to do with anyone "hating Mexicans". I just don't think Triple H understands Lucha. And unlike with British and Japanese wrestling, I don't think he has anyone around him who does either. He's shown in the past that he is willing to delegate decisions and opinions to someone who knows more about a particular thing than he does. I think he just needs to hire someone who really knows the Lucha scene and go from there.

The original reason the CWC was invented was for Sombra to win and get over. That changed along the way for some unknown reason.

Johnny working the tag team with Ciampa on NXT? Or you mean in the long run.
Now I can't wait for Raw so we can see how they setup the Cruserweight div. Hope we get a rematch with Gran at Clash.
Quite possibly the worst man working in wrestling today. Him and Striker are two huge fucking cornballs.
Smackdown gets Kenneth Johnson and The Bollywood Boys

source? That sounds like BS
Can't wait for the #CruiserweightRevolution special on the WWE Network.
I'm worried that tournament was really specific in its pacing and they go for something more ala tna at RAW. They won't be able to show many wrestlers each week, so.. they could go for multi man spot fests..I hope not.
Doubt it, Smackdown already fills 90% of the time pretty well.
It's more like "PLEASE WATCH RAW OH GOD OUR RATINGS"
Already being passed around on Twitter.

Cruiserweights will work both Raw and NXT per Triple H. So Gargano and Ciampa will do both.
Meltzer said it when the CWC was announced.

Hornswoggle was the last Cruiserweight Champion before TJ Perkins. He held it for 65 days back in 2007. The same people that made that decision are still in charge today.
Fuck!
Fuck!
Kendrick is really going to continue on? That's pretty rad. And it's strange for me to think of Ciampa as a cruiserweight given his smashmouth style. But still cool for variety in the division.

I doubt they'll do that. Triple H said specifically that they know they won't be able to fit every Cruiserweight guy every week. That's why they'll be working both Raw and NXT.

Book it Vince for Wrestlemania.

WWE needs to have TJP unify the lineage by defeating Hornswaggle and X-Pac (last LHW champ).

To be fair, Triple H has a lot more pull nowadays. Obviously Vince still makes the final call, but I think now with three hour Raw he knows it is in his best interest to keep the CW division strong as a draw.

Prolonged exposure to Mauro says Mauro is just as corny as Striker

I think the only "multi-man train wreck match" we might see in the division is this Monday because they might want to get all the guys (or most of them at least) on the first CW-featured show.

Mauro's average level is so far above Striker though that it's not even a discussion though. Sure, Mauro has his negative quirks, but as a whole he's great.

Go watch Wrestlemania 26 and report back on Striker.

That's a good roster. I sure guys like Neville and sin Cara will shift to that division.
That'd be even worse than splitting up the women's division
Evolve is the smartest wrestling promotion in the US. People bitch about them pushing guys like Johnny so aggressively but that motherfucker is over as fuck on NXT and potentially will be on RAW too. Evolve knows what they're doing.
