Bull. Crowd went nuts for him in his debut. And I'm not saying Ultimo could have been as successful as Rey in general, but he certainly could have been just as successful within the cruiserweight division. The CW division was booked strong for a long time, when you had Rey, Tajiri, Kidman, and Noble in it.

Reason Ultimo wasn't pushed, is because Vince thought he was getting another Rey Mysterio, just because they both wear masks. I guess the thought of watching some of Ultimo's matches before signing him, didn't occur to Vince.

Even then, it's still ridiculous, as ultimo is the best cruiserweight that company has ever employed, outside of maybe Tigermask, and a fued building to wrestlemania between him and Rey would have kept the division strong. Instead they just stopped trying.
