Recently I posted an article questioning what could be done to help ECW gain ratings as well as respect and interest from WWE fans. One point I made was the possibility of introducing a secondary title, like the Intercontinental and US Championships, to create more competition for the show, as well as something for the mid card wrestlers to strive for.
The options I listed were the Hardcore Title and the Cruiserweight Championship. Both are titles that are still property of the WWE despite being retired for all intents and purposes.
Now I did state that the Hardcore Title is probably the most suitable belt to introduce to the show. However, out of pure interest I decided to check out the rosters and see just what the cruiserweight division could be if the title were reintroduced tonight (keep in mind this is according to the rosters for each show as posted by WWE.com).
The qualifications for the cruiserweight title state that the wrestler must weigh no more than 215 pounds. The following is a list of superstars that fall into that catergory:
RAW
- Jamie Noble - 202lbs.: A former cruiserweight champion who finds himself a mid-carder on RAW, which in my books is the least friendly to lightweights. I feel that his future in the company is in jeopardy unless they find something interesting for him to do, such as challenging for the Cruiserweight title,
- Rey Mysterio - 175 lbs.: Another former cruiserweight champion who finds himself on RAW. Fortunately for Rey, he is more over than any of the other lightweights in the company. The Cruiserweight Title may be below him at this point, but it's always an opportunity if it is reinstated.
