Cruiserweight Classic - Live Final with a 60 MINUTE TIME LIMIT will probably give DB a concussion

Hyped by the premise. Can't wait to hear who's announced for it.

Can't wait to not watch this.

It'll be interesting to see who they manage to scrape together for it. No way they can fill that many spots in house.

Some other site posted some comments from HHH

http://www.channelguidemag.com/tv-ne...weight-series/

He mentions wanting to work with any independent talent in the world, name checking Progress, Evolve and Rev Pro.

William Regal is the talent scout for the show.

This could potentially change how WWE looks at contracts as they are thinking outside the box and looking to bring in anyone just for this series.

Welp, that's one way to get me to re-subscribe to the Network despite not caring about the current product at all. Sounds like it could be a lot of fun.

sounds fucking awesome

I'm gonna bet Zack Sabre Jr. will be in this to represent the good 'ol United Kingdom.

Fucking prick. :fu:

Is Chuck Taylor under 205lbs? I hope so!

Lizmark Jr better be in this or it is a joke

Super Calo too

Not a fan?

Seems pretty cool.

Sounds dope. I hope guys like Neville are in this too.

This sounds great, I am all for it and hopefully it isn't booked by someone who absolutely must have a WWE guy win.

Cruiser Title on NXT would be pretty sweet

Probably depends if they still have the "winner gets a WWE contract" hinted as a possible idea for the show.

If not, makes it easier for one of their recent signings like La Sombra to win it and if they do, makes it easier for one of the indie guys they are bringing in to get a WWE-NXT type deal.

Been some rumors for a while about the WWE being interested in UK indies' Zack Sabre Jr so this tournament could be their way of doing it.

They'll fuck it up

Seriously, in wcw it was just random matches a lot of the time and it still got over like gangbusters due tothe action.

I like this. I don't exactly want to make this a division though. Once you make a division it's kinda like segregation. In WCW when you were a crusierweight it was really like they were saying "you're only a cruiserweight." Becoming Crusierweight Champion was the top of your field. You peaked in the upper mid-card.

There are no true weight division in the WWE like other real combative sports. Rey might have been booked badly as World Champion but he was a three time World Champion and two time IC Champion.

No. Sami Zayn is a crusierweight.

Give me Ciclope(Halloween) all the Villianos they can find and Silver King and I'm sold.

Can't see how, they'd have to actively try to ruin this.....oh god they are gonna fuck this up.

Should have made it not about weight limits, but about no limits.

Coughxdivisioncough

Segregation huh? Do you think they'll have to drink from a different fountain, use a different bathroom, and have to sit at the back of the bus?

That's how the WWE could book a lot of things but don't...

Shisen's right. Scratch the whole concept and bring back the Juniors' Division. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Midget Rasslin'!

Midget tossing would also be a great addition to the WWE Universe.

I can't believe they haven't had Sheamus toss Hornswoggle yet.

Hornswoggle should preside over this show as the reigning Cruiserweight Champion of the last eight years.

most of the NXT roster could hit the 205 limit....

I'm just happy that there will actually be new wrestling content on the Network. It's about 7 hours of new wrestling shows per month, which isn't really worth £9.99.

This is the sort of thing they should do in September through December..

Here is the updated list of participants for WWE’s upcoming Global Cruiserweight Series following the Progress Wrestling Chapter 29 event this weekend:

Zack Sabre, Jr.
Jack Gallagher
Rich Swann
Tommaso Ciampa
Johnny Gargano
Ho Ho Lun
Akira Tozawa
Lince Dorado

There will be a qualifying match on May 1st at the next Revolution Pro event in London featuring Noam Dar vs. Josh Bodom.

Then on May 7th, there will be two qualifying matches at May 7th at EVOLVE 61 in Brooklyn, New York. You can check out those match-ups below:

Drew Gulak vs. Tracy Williams
Fred Yehi vs. TJ. Perkins

Is it just me or does WWE seem to be attempting to channel or steal a bit of Japanese wrestling? This is a very Japan thing to do...and I don't care, I think it's awesome.

WWE are also stealing the Bullet Club, and they've taken Kenta and Nakamura.

Finally, are we going to see them embrace that fans enjoy all kinds of wrestling, and companies?

It is awesome and should be a good tournament and is going to gain a lot of exposure for guys people don't know. If it's successful I'd say it becomes an annual thing like NJPW Beat of Super Jr's. tournament.
