If you want to have Evan Bourne and Tyson Kidd have a bunch of awesome matches on Superstars or Main Event, that's absolutely fine, but if you throw them in a "division," they may never get out.
The guys with Main Event potential will always get out. They'll always find a way to catch on and crossover. Especially if you make that the intention of the Division.

I'd love a new Cruiserweight Divison (or something completely different to the current structure like the X Division or Hardcore Divisions were) as I think it'd give renewed focus to the lower card. The major benefit of using the smaller guys is that if Creative can't come up with anything storyline-wise the very least you get is a stellar match per show.

TNA are doing an interesting thing with their Triple Threat X Division setup that gets guys on TV, gives the audience a great 7-10 minute match and can lead to any number of angles if that's the way they wanna go.

Alternatively, you actually give focus back to the Tag Division with stoylines/promo time instead of these random matches here and there.
