Helms? Chavo? Who's to blame?

There is nothing wrong with Gregory Helms or Chavo Guerrero as performers. So really they cannot be held responsible. Their placing is really based on where the WWE feels comfortable placing its cruiserweights.

The discussion as seemingly shifted into how important the Cruiserweight Division should be, and in an ideal world it would be "very". I've always been secretly hoping that while he was Champion, Gregory Helms would cut a promo where he came out and declared that being the Cruiserweight Champion made him the top guy in the business 225lbs, or under. While Rey Mysterio was World Heavyweight Champion, this would have made a nifty feud between the two. Helms as the top cruiserweight in the world, and Mysterio as the top heavyweight, whilst still technically a cruiserweight.

I disagree with the theory that small guys cannot be main event players, though. Chris Jericho and Eddie Guerrero were both former Cruiserweight Champions. Raven is a former Cruiserweight Champion. Chris Benoit is a former Light Heavyweight Champion. Shawn Michaels is a pretty small guy compared to others.

Being little shouldn't get in the way of a guy.
