We have had all men and all women shows. How about a chance for the crusiers to get a ppv for themselves. An opportunity for plenty more legends to return. I know the house show loop didn't go to well but if marketed correctly and built wisely this could work.

No but they should feature more on main roster PPV's. Correct me if I'm wrong, but they've never had a non title match on a PPV and all title matches have been reduced to the pre-show.
As good as 205 Live has gotten lately, why should I care if WWE clearly don't?

As good as 205 Live has gotten lately, why should I care if WWE clearly don't? Taking them off RAW and PPVs was done to try and make them appear more stand alone due to their segments on the main shows being reduced to filler. A PPV to themselves I believe is the next step. ECW December to Dismember failed cause Vince didn't truly make it a priority but Triple H has seemingly done a good job with 205 and if he can bring that to pay per view there is no reason why it can't be great. |

 They could tie in a yearly Cruiserweight Classic tournament for a PPV with the winner getting a title shot at the next big event. Bring in some guys from the Indy circuit and allow them to advance far down the tourney to draw a bit more attention. Not sure it would draw the numbers necessary for the higher ups to declare it a massive success if kept to only 205 guys, even if some guys like Bryan, Balor, or Ryder are involved. |

No. I still really do not see the need for crusierweights to have their own brand at all. Why shouldn't they be on the NXT, SmackDown Live & RAW rosters?

I said yes just cause I wanna see the likes of Hurricane, Kidman, Tajiri, Mysterio and Nunzio have another outing on WWE programming.

No they should share the main shows with the rest of the roster. The way they were booked in WCW and 00's Smackdown was perfect.

Could they deliver a fun PPV with in ring action? Sure, absolutely. Should they? No.
I'd rather they either be showcased much more on RAW & PPVs to help build up their stock. The way they were on the middle of the Australian card was perfect. Let fans see what they can do. After enough interest builds up, more people may tune in to watch 205.
Or... I'd like to see 205 Live merge with NXT. Give us one action packed show that can't miss. Who wouldn't want to see Mustafa Ali vs Johnny Gargano? Cedric Alexander vs Ricochet? Drew Gulak vs Tyler Bates? It'd really add to NXT becoming a legit third brand.

A PPV, no. A network exclusive show from Full Sail? Hell yes.

I don’t watch the cruisers but if they’re big enough to have their own show then why not a quarterly PPV. Book a small venue in a city that would turn out for an event like this, keep the production costs low, and it should do well enough.

The smallest (or one of) men on the roster (Rey Mysterio) competes every Tuesday on the main roster and for upper mid card titles and was a former World Champion....The cruiserweight division (in wwe) has, was and always will be a joke.

Move the Cruiserweights to NXT and get rid of the North American Championship and get Pete Dunne solely on the UK brand.

They're not a legit fourth brand, and they're probably never going to let any of them compete convincingly against the top stars on Raw and SDL, so why not merge them into NXT and expand that brand? |

in the era of a million special events and network specials id be completely fine with a 2 hour Cruiserweight special with a handful of feature matches and a title match to close. I think it would be fun and enjoyable to watch and dont really see the negative to something like that.

Personally, I don't think they should. I enjoy how 205 Live is being used today. I do feel that they should have the Cruiserweight Title, or the big 205 Live feud should be featured on PPV, even if it's just on the kickoff shows. Id prefer the main show, but I doubt it'll happen unless it's a special WWE Network special like Super Showdown in Australia. If I believed they would give the cruiserweight a 10 minute match on RAW to show what they can do, I say give them 15 minutes on RAW. Other than that, I think 205 Live is fine the way it is. I'm enjoying watching 205 Live every Wednesday. Ever since they moved 205 Live to Wednesdays along with NXT, the Mae Young Classic when it was on, and now NXT UK, I haven't missed a single episode. Heck, I even missed NXT on the weekly basis, but now I make a night out of watching wrestling on Wednesdays where I'm not bored of watching it.
