Was this a big issue for you when the cruiserweight title was around while Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho and Eddie Guerrero were in the world title scene? How is that any different?

It's no more of a jobber title that the IC or US titles which literally say "You're the second/third best champion" while this one says "You are THE king of this division."
When Benoit, Jericho and Guerrero were in the World Title scene, they were outside the Cruiserweight Division weight limit. And it absolutely bothered me when, for example, Rey Mysterio was the World Champion on SmackDown whilst Gregory Helms was the Cruiserweight Champion and they never did an angle where Helms claimed he was the best wrestler 220lbs or under, so he needs to beat Rey Mysterio to make his title mean anything.

Being the king of the division means nothing if guys that should be in your division are too good for it and fighting in the main event. I mean, you said it yourself: Tyson Kidd and Sin Cara aren't at that level. Why would people take the division seriously if everyone knows that?
