There is a huge buzz around the division currently because of the success of the CWC. I just got a feeling that it won't last for long and eventually start getting left off of WWE Raw. Many guys are still getting left off and eventually they are going to stop the multiple cruiserweight matches and segments. I also feel that they are going to distance Neville/Zayn/Balor away from the division because even though they qualify if you associate them as a crusierweight I think it kills their career from advancing to the next step. What are your thoughts about WWE adding their own main roster talents like a Kalisto or the guys mentioned before? I think they want to keep them away so they don't get that label. For example, no matter how great Cedric or Perkins is I don't think they will ever make it past mid card or survive when the Cruiserweight Division gets buried like it has back in 06 and the Light Heavyweight division from the Attitude era.

I think it will be fine if people...
A) Give it more than two weeks before trying to destroy it.
B) Stop chanting "CM Punk" during the matches.

They need to really work on character development and presentation for a lot of these cruiserweights. On RAW, aside from Lince Dorado and TJ Perkins, everyone's gear looked generic and worn out.

Is that still allowed?? But seriously, the division is gonna flop. And I say that because they have it on Raw. If they would have kept the cruiser weights on the WWE Network, with their own show each week like they had all through July - September, then I think it would have been a success. Bringing them to Raw is just a disaster, and I knew it would be from the get go.

Yeah the Cruiserweight division is a failure. People seem to be turning on it, I'm suprised it even lasted a yea................oh wait it's only been 2 weeks. RELAX believe it or not wwe knows what they are doing and fans need to just sit back and watch once in awhile instead of trying to act like creative.

I'm sure over the next few months many of the CW talents will get the "WWE Stank" on them. Characters will be fleshed out. But it takes time. And it's only been two weeks. Sit back, watch the matches, & enjoy the performances.

The only issue I've had is the crowd during TJP's debut, what the crap was that?
They've been great so far! Just need time for character development and direction to set it. The Brian Kendrick is shining great so far.

Once Noam Dar Debuts, they'll get more of the Scottish, Israeli, Jewish Demographic to boost up those ratings, believe or not People really liked Noam Dar in PROGRESS, ICW, and WCPW.

The strangest thing is that TJP got a small pop and then the crowd died....

TJP is the wrong guy to build around. Especially when you've got Rich Swann and a freaking luchador in the division.

I get that the color scheme for the CWC was purple and grey/silver... but the division doesn't need to be. They are giving the division the Sin Cara treatment. Make it look important by giving it a unique looking segment. No reason to change ropes, buckle pads and ring mat every time its a CW segment. It just makes it look dumb. CW division is supposed to help make the title important but they dont need to be exclusive to that 'brand'. Nothing wrong with two of those guys teaming up and going for the tag titles or doing something else.

Swann is charismatic as all hell but I've legitimately never seen him cut a promo that was storyline based. TJP/Kendrick was the best way to go by far. They're the best talkers when it comes to telling a story and they're getting the best reactions entrance wise. Though it doesn't help when the rest of the division are being treated simply as spot monkeys for now. I say give it a month maybe two and the division will be the best thing on Raw not named Kevin Owens or Chris Jericho.

So far it isnt going great. I feel like they couldve introduced the division way better than they did. Nobody even knows who TJP is and he is the champion. Maybe once they get the ball rolling, it might start to find its place but if their plan is to just have 2 cruiserweights go out there every Monday to put on a 15-20 minute workrate match as filler to kill time, Its going to fail very quick. If they actually have storylines and give people a reason to get behind the division, itll be good but lets face it, WWE doesnt even put any effort into their midcard titles so i have low expectations for the CW belt.
