Sounds like a weekly episode of CWC is coming back to WWE Network?! What are your thoughts?

Raw just wasn't doing it any justice. This is probably for the best. I assume the Title will still be defended on Raw PPV.

Cruiserweights might finally be worth watching again because that shambles they do on RAW did no justice to the great stuff on the CWC. This seems like another Trips project so i'm sure it'll be must watch to start with at least.

 

[Cwalker]

Yeah Cruiserweights on Raw didn't work. Give them their time to shine. This also allows more time for character development to other guys besides the Champion and his Number One contender

and random 6 man matches, in all seriousness i think this is only happening because the ring crew is getting tired of switching between ring ropes :Side;

On one side of the coin they were random because they made no sense to do them every single week which it felt like but on the other side it was far from random because it was the same fucking match every single week.

Cruiserweights failed on the main roster......time to put them back on the network for an hour and let the wrestling bubble pretend it's awesome again.

You make it sound like they had the keys to the kingdom and they totally fucked it up with botched match after botched match or something. If the division failed, it's on the higher ups half assing it at best.

Given the exact same presentation of the CWC, had built in promo packages for everyone involved and yet first match in.....no one cared.

Blame the people for not supporting it.

How many promo packages did they get, 1 each? That aint nothing to get people invested into them. Week after week they've brought out the same multi-man match with no reasoning behind it whatsoever, how are people supposed to give a fuck about that? This whole experiment just stunk of the old divas division, throw a bunch of people together give them a couple of mins and then wonder why nobody gives a shit about it.

Welcome to the fucking WWE, where no one outside of maineventers get attention.

Let's not pretend the audiences gave a fuck from jump street, the champion was getting boring chants on his first match on Raw.

Acting like vignettes are going to make anyone care more.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Who actually expected "stars" like Rich Swann to get over?

 

[Deezy]

Vanilla midgets don't get over.

For every Rey Mysterios there are thousands of Essa Rios.

Idk the cruiserweights don't seem to be doing that bad. The Kendrick/Perkins feud was pretty good and even the six man matches are entertaining. The crowd don't go crazy but they don't boo either.
