If it was done properly and given the necessary amount of air time and credibility to make the division work, then I say yes, the WWE is desperately in need of a consistently competitive, fast paced, constantly exciting aspect to their shows. Of all the things WCW did wrong, they did the Cruiserweight Division completely correctly, pushing awesome talents like Mysterio, Guerrero, Malenko, Jericho, Juvi, Kidman and so many others, and giving them the time needed to go out and put on the best match on the entire card, night in and night out. TNA has the same thing going with their X-Division for a very long time - showcasing awesome talents like AJ Styles, Chris Daniels, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, Low Ki, Amazing Red, Kid Kash, and many more. Both titles gained instant credibility as a direct result. Ironically, Vince Russo took over the creative side of both companies, and both division suffered horribly.
If the WWE were to put together a cruiserweight division in the same vein as the WCW division and the early X-Division, hire a bunch of new smaller guys who can go in the ring (Jack Evans immediately comes to mind), and actually gave them the TV time needed to get the guys and the title over, then yes, they should do it. But in the current state of the WWE, I don't see that as a possibility, and if they're not going to do it right, then they shouldn't do it at all.
