And tomorrow John Cena could lose the World Heavyweight Title. It's not going to happen, though.

Rey did win the Royal Rumble when the Cruiserweight Title was around. I addressed that. Rey is one of the very few exceptions to the rule. Jamie Noble and Paul London were wrestling for the Cruiserweight Title, and those matches would have very rarely cracked the five-minute mark. As a tag team wrestler, Paul London got to do a lot more on SmackDown!. As a guy in the heavyweight division, Jamie Noble got to actually develop a personality.

Sure, the WWE could change their policies overnight, but history has proven that the Cruiserweight Title is very, very low on their priority list. It was so important to them they had Hornswoggle win the belt, and made one of its top contenders slip on marbles. It may not mean they'll never treat it seriously, but I'd say it's very indicative that they won't.

No, it's being realistic about these guys' chances in the WWE when slapped with the label "cruiserweight." I don't see how it is logical to assume that cruiserweights would suddenly be treated right in the WWE. And I don't see how it is illogical to attribute, in part, the lack of a small guy championship allowing small guys to mix it up with the bigger guys.

Notice they are all from WCW? They are all from fucking WCW. Also, you say that this kind of thinking would deprive the audience of fantastic cruiserweight matches? Do you see any fantastic cruiserweight matches on TV? No. Do you see a Cruiserweight Title on TV? No. The WWE doesn't give a shit.

I can understand that you want the Cruiserweight Title to come back so you can a match like Evan Bourne vs. The Brian Kendrick for it. Awesome. More power to you. I'd rather see those two face-off for either the ECW Championship or even the WWE Championship. Still a very unlikely scenario, but given where both men have been in 2008, it's not as unlikely as it would have been back when they were just Matt Sydal and Brian Kendrick.
