I'm not even going to try and argue if you think the audience in 96 is the same as today. that's just retarded.


La Parka and Juvi and the rest of the lot were over as crusierweights during a short boom. That entire division was over. It was something new to fans, but again you needed guys like Jericho, Guerrero and Syxx (with the nWo behind him) to carry it because they could work the mic and draw heat.

Most of the other crusiers had a short shelf life. Hence that little thing in 1998 Called the LWO. WCW didn't know what to do with these guys anymore so they stuck them all in one stable as a last desperate attempt to give them a rub

At the end of the day you're argument is Ultimo didn't get over in WWE because he didn't have a chance. There's plenty of guys that have recieved shitty pushes, but have managed to get over. Ultimo was already handicapped by his mask, his Japanese style and he couldn't talk. So it's not a surprise that the WWE saw nothing in him as far as giving him any major run. There's plenty of smart business minded people in WWE and I'm sure if there was money to be made with Ultimo, they would of made it.
Regal is the guy he beat for the title, fyi. Both reigns.

You can say whatever you want, I don't care. I've seen every major cruiserweight match, from the early wwwf stuff with Tigermask and Dynamite, all the way up to 2005, and the crowd was into every single one of them.
