In WCW, the cruiserweights were credible for 2 reasons:
1. They were allowed to really go at it. 20 minute+ matches and any move they wanted to do.
2. They were winning all of the titles except the World title. Rey's had all of their titles except the Hardcore and world titles.
3. WCW was based on variety. There were so many styles and different kinds of characters, and they were all put over (ie. Mysterio's giant killer gimmick and Guerrera's never say die gimmick).
WWE is all about the WWE style. In other words, high flyers wrestle like mat technicians wrestle like brawlers wrestle like powerhouses. It's all the same shit all the time.

That's why I never got excited when cruiserweights like Ultimo Dragon were being signed. Because they have to follow the company's style, you'll never really see what they can really do unless you watch old Nitro tapes.
BTW, on Rey's title reigns, I think he only held the cruiserweight and tag team titles.
