As for the Disco Inferno thing, he allegedly DID lose the weight, but wore himself out in the process. WWF ran the same angle a bit later with Christian on an episode of Heat.
Hmm, I thought that the WCW Cruiserweight Championship had a 230lbs limit. Chris Jericho held the belt when he was 231lbs. That was a good angle. I think they should bring back the 230lbs weight limit. Have guys like Matt Hardy and what would have been Christian competing for the belt in their downtime.

I always thought the WWE Light Heavyweight Championship was 225lbs. It was definately over 215lbs at one stage, as Jeff Hardy held the belt when he was billed as 218lbs.

The WWE Cruiserweight Championship limit is 220lbs. So technically, Carlito could compete as a cruiserweight. If 'Lito ever gets drafted to SmackDown!, I would love to see an angle like that. The most destinctive moments in "Weight Restriction Divisions" seem to have bigger guys step down and challenge for the belt. I really wouldn't mind it if Paul Burchill requested that he be able to challenge for the Cruiserweight Title, as he can wrestle their style, but he's got the pirate thing going on now.
