Hey, you know what, a Cruiserweight Division properly booked could be awesome. If Cruiserweight Champion Tyson Kidd was presented as the best wrestler 220lbs or under in the WWE, it might work. As it were, though, Kidd would be Cruiserweight Champion and Dolph Ziggler would be World Heavyweight Champion, despite the fact both are cruiserweights and it would make no fucking sense.

It just depends on whether you want talent to be judged on either skill or size.

If you want to make the Cruiserweight Title for wrestlers 230lbs or under, you can have Dean Ambrose, Chris Jericho and CM Punk grouped in with the division as well. Are we meant to believe that Tyson Kidd can beat them? Guys like Rey Mysterio, Dolph Ziggler, Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, Kofi Kingston, Cody Rhodes and John Morrison are all cruiserweights. How can you explain them going after the WWE Championship or World Heavyweight Championship and yet have other smaller guys fighting each other and convincing people that it means something? Because they're not good enough to break out of the division and fight up?

If the Cruiserweight Title were around, people would be saying the same things you are currently saying about the guys who have managed to avoid the curse of being labelled a "cruiserweight."

Also, for the record, yes, I think Tyson Kidd could be chasing the same goal as John Cena. Do I think he would win it? Not unless he caught fire, but I could definitely see Kidd working a few higher-up matches against the likes of Chris Jericho, Curtis Axel, CM Punk or Daniel Bryan, instead of being given a title for "smaller guys that aren't as good as those other smaller guys."
