Other than the 2 guys in the title picture, which have been TJ Perkins and Kendrick up until this point, the formula for the cruiserweight division on RAW has been to throw 4 or 6 random guys together in a meaningless tag match with no storyline. When are we going to see something more out of the cruiserweights other than tag matches where it doesn't matter who wins or loses? Why not have some singles matches in which the guys will have a better opportunity to get their characters over? Or if they are going to stick to tag matches, why not place some importance on the result of the match?
You forgot Rich Swann. He has two wins on Kendrick so he is getting a bit of a push as well. But yes, I think that they could be doing a much better job in establishing identities for the Cruisers. The Raw booking team should watch what they did down in Florida for the CWC and take a cue from them.
Now that we have seen a Women's match headline a PPV, what are the chances that we will see a cruiserweight division match headline anytime in the near future?
Near future? I don’t see that happening. The Women have been gaining momentum for months. Right now, that is not the case with the Cruisers. Down the road? Maybe. Near future? I don’t see it.
It seems to me that Dixie Carter wanted Anthem to own TNA instead of Billy Corgan. Am I right? Is there a reason for this?
At this point, with Anthem offering a line of credit, they wouldn’t own TNA. They would probably be the top creditor if TNA goes under. Obviously, Dixie didn’t want Corgan to own the company. It just seems to me that she has been scrambling to get the money needed to keep TNA going. What her actual motivations are? I honestly have no idea.
How angry is James Storm that he did not sign up with NXT instead of returning to TNA?
He obviously didn’t like what, if anything, NXT offered. I think if he had been offered a decent deal he would have taken it.
Let's say WWE signs Rhonda Rousey, how do you book her? I mean, how could WWE make it believable that she wouldn't be able to destroy the whole Women's Division and half the male roster in real life? When Ken Shamrock went to WWE, MMA was still in its infancy compared to today. Anyone who ever watches wrestling most likely knows who Rhonda Rousey is.
Therein is the problem. You would have to do two things in my opinion. One, sign large women to work against her so it seems “fair”. When she takes on a smaller wrestlers, it would probably be best to use a similar formula that they do with Brock Lesnar. Beyond that, they could also do little things that “she didn’t know because she is new to pro wrestling”. Having her be in full time? I don’t see that happening so there are ways that they can book her as an attraction that could be believable.
