WWE playing catch up?

There is a movement in WWE to try to bring in more smaller, international stars to try to recreate the magic of Nitro in the mid-90s. They also want to get a jump on WSX and TNA, who both are pushing light heavyweights.

They're interested in a few guys in Mexico, not to a mention a few guys in Japan. Other names discussed include Gedo and Jado.

Re: WWE playing catch up?

They should look at their own roster first as they have a solid cruiserweight division if they were given a decent amount of time on tv and also had no restrictions on them.

Re: WWE playing catch up?

Playing catch-up, hahahaha. Considering their biggest competition gets the same ratings as a show that airs Sunday at 2AM, that's funny.

Re: WWE playing catch up?

Seems like a bogus news report. They've had some talented cruisers for years. What use is having them, when all they do is perform like heavyweights. Lol they cant even get that many decent moves in...

Re: WWE playing catch up?

For a serious answer, I agree with Necro. They already have plenty of good cruiserweights. No need to bring in more when they barely use the ones they currently have (unless they just want to prevent TNA from using them, like when WCW kept signing useless wrestlers just so WWF couldn't use them).

Re: WWE playing catch up?

It would be awesome to see them do something like TNA with there X-Devision. Have special matches at PPV's. These guys can make amazing moves nad do alot of highflying stuff. Like Necro said, why have them if your going to use them as heavyweights?

Re: WWE playing catch up?

they should just have them agree if they get injured they get a low end guarantee on money or something. I'd love to see them go all out...

Re: WWE playing catch up?

I think they also worry about other wrestlers, didn't Billy Kidman injure someone when he botched a Shooting Star Press?

Re: WWE playing catch up?

Yeah, it was right when they were turning him heel.

I think it was Paul London he injured, and when London came back they had Kidman turn heel on him.

Edit: After some checking, it was Chavo Guerrero who was legit injured by Kidman. They did use that to start the Kidman/London feud (where Kidman purposely kayfabe injured London).
