The new WWE cruiserweight division debuted Sept.
Cam Robinson Womens Jersey . 19 on Raw, with
hopes it could carry on the momentum and buzz generated by the inaugural
Cruiserweight Classic. After 32 wrestlers put on a spectacle unlike anything
ever constructed under the WWE banner over 10 weeks on the WWE Network, the
interest was palpable and a number of former independent stars now find
themselves with brand new WWE contracts.With breakout stars such as TJ
Perkins,?Cedric Alexander?and?Rich Swann, the veteran talents of?Brian
Kendrick?and a host of others whove either recently debuted or stand ready to
join the fray,?Monday?Night?Raw?has a chance to reinvigorate the show with a
high-flying spectacle that should get fans out of their seats and change some
perceptions as to what wrestling can be.Sound familiar?If you were a wrestling
fan in the mid-1990s, you may have watched the cruiserweight division in World
Championship Wrestling. Like the WWEs new division, most of the featured names
were unfamiliar to all but the most hardcore of wrestling fans, and for a
mainstream American audience, it provided action that was a stark alternative to
a world plodding giants with massive physiques and limited movement that
dominated the squared circle at that time.While the gap in physicality between
the cruiserweights and the rest of the roster is smaller in the modern era,
their appearance was a complete shift in the landscape and the Monday Night Wars
of the 1990s between WWE and WCW. Not only did WCW have the revolutionary
anti-establishment, superstar-laden New World Order, but it further distanced
its product by bringing in the best cruiserweights from Japan, Mexico and
seemingly every other corner of the globe -- innovation that WWE programming
sorely lacked at the time.It was a part of the fabric of WCW from the very
beginning, in fact, and while they lost their most prolific performers to the
WWE in the chaos and downward spiral that ultimately brought the company down,
they had a presence at every stage of its existence. In fact, the first match on
the first episode of Monday Nitro was a cruiserweight contest, as Brian Pillman
and Jushin Thunder Liger squared off in the Mall of America in Minnesota.Pillman
and Liger were just two of the future stars of the wrestling world who were
among WCWs earliest cruiserweights. Three future WWE world champions came from
that crop of groundbreaking wrestlers as well, and laid some of the groundwork
for smaller guys to get their shots down the line. Each of their styles were
unique, and each holds a prominent position in the annals of wrestling
history.Rey Mysterio Jr.s WCW debut came in a WCW cruiserweight title match
against Dean Malenko in 1996. Although he didnt come away successful in that
match, Mysterio would become champion about a month later. Hed ultimately hold
that title five times in WCW, and added another three reigns when the belt
shifted over to WWE. Mysterio eventually became a three-time WWE world champion,
a two-time Intercontinental champion and a four-time WWE tag team champion,
along with winning the 2006 Royal RumbleChris Jericho?debuted as a fairly
vanilla babyface in WCW, but hit his stride when he morphed into a whiny heel --
a run that peaked with his list of 1,004 holds and a run with the WCW world
television championship. Jericho was a four-time cruiserweight champion, and
also had some of the finest feuds in the cruiserweight division, highlighted by
his bouts with Malenko and Juventud Guerrera. He went on to far greater success
in WWE as a six-time WWE world champion, a nine-time Intercontinental champion
and a seven-time WWE tag team champion. Jerichos career continues to this
day.Eddie Guerrero ended Jerichos second reign as cruiserweight champion. He had
previously won the United States championship by winning a tournament during his
earliest days in WCW. Guerrero had a pair of reigns as cruiserweight champion
overall, but his feud with Eric Bischoff gave the divisions Hispanic wrestlers a
more prominent position in the promotion. He famously defeated Brock Lesnar to
win the WWE world heavyweight championship, and successfully defended that title
at Wrestlemania 20. Guerrero also held both the Intercontinental and European
championships twice each, and was posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of
Fame in 2006.While it helped revolutionize wrestling and helped drive interest,
the cruiserweight division as a whole was underutilized in WCW. When
intermingled with the heavyweights and main eventers, they were made to look out
of their league almost every time -- essentially putting them all on a second
tier of the roster, lesser than the primary product.WWE, which had all but
struck out with its own version of the division, was able to scoop up WCWs
underused cruiserweight talent. They gave Jericho a major debut, with a
weeks-long countdown clock leading to a promo interrupting?The Rock. Guerrero
and Malenko debuted as part of The Radicalz, and immediately jumped into a feud
with the hottest faction of the Attitude Era, D-Generation X.WWE has an
opportunity to take this cautionary tale as it launches this new cruiserweight
division. In WCW, the cruiserweights were allowed to tell their stories in the
ring, but werent given the chances to develop characters like those at the top
of the card (though Jericho was a notable exception). WWE told the stories of
those who competed in the Cruiserweight Classic in the ring and through brief
pre-taped video packages, but now that theyre under the bright lights of Raw,
there are more steps to take to ensure these new competitors dont simply get
lost in the shuffle.WWE seems to have decided to keep their cruiserweights
separate from the rest of the roster to start their run. When they ultimately do
venture out and interact with other stars on the roster, it will be important to
avoid the pitfalls of WCW, referring to the wrestlers as just cruiserweights or
pointing out the size differential -- giving them little chance to emerge
victorious when they find themselves opposite these main eventers.If you missed
the Cruiserweight Classic, the Fatal 4-Way that opened up the cruiserweight
divisions debut episode on Raw and the tag team match the following week gave
you a taste of what wrestlers like Kendrick, Swann, Alexander and?Gran
Metalik?can do -- showcasing a range of styles from high-flying to striking to a
technical submission style. Reactions from a lackluster Cincinnati
crowd?notwithstanding, the match between Perkins and Anthony Nese did the
same.Some 20 years removed from WCWs cruiserweights, this new generation has a
chance to stand out as a special and significant part of the Raw product for
years to come.

. Irving scored 23 points, Tristan Thompson had 20 points and 10 rebounds and
the Cavaliers beat the Denver Nuggets 117-109 on Friday night. New South Wales
Blues 1. James Tedesco - 7 - Went into the game under pressure but responded
with a positive debut and will be hard to remove from the Blues number one
jersey next year.?2. Blake Ferguson - 6 - His best game of the series. Always
looked to get more involved than first two games.3. Michael Jennings - 6?-
Jet-boot Jennings looked like he had run out of fuel until the 79th minute when
the afterburners kicked in for the match-winning try.4. Josh Dugan - 6 - Was
solid in his first game of this years series and had a busy night trying to
contain Greg Inglis until departing with injury.5. Josh Mansour - 5?- Put his
hand up for some strong runs but a dreadful error 5 minutes from full-time
gifted Queensland the lead.14. Matt Moylan - 6?- Played out of position at
five-eighth and was uncomfortable early but improved as game went on.6. James
Maloney - 8 - Another excellent contribution. Has been one of the Blues best
this series and was again in game three.8. Aaron Woods - 8 - Tough game and
never shirked his duty of taking on the Queensland pack.9. Robbie Farah - 6?-
Tried hard but doesnt seem to have the spark he once had.10. Paul Gallen -
7?-?Another tradesman-like performance from the retiring skipper - a performance
that typified his Origin career - iced with the final conversion.11. Wade Graham
- 7?- Scored New South Wales first try but was guilty of going missing at
times.12. Josh Jackson - 7 - Tireless in defence and always willing to cart the
ball up in attack.13. Tyson Frizell - 8 - It is clear from his two Origin games
that he is made for this arena. Another strong contribution capped with his
second Blues try.?Interchange: 6. Jack Bird - 5 - Was injected late in the match
and failed to have much impact. 15. James Tamou - 6?- Added little off the bench
and was guilty of a soft turnover of possession at a crucial period in the first
half.16. David Klemmer - 6 - Regularly bent the line with some strong runs and
provided some intimidation for the Blues. 17. Andrew Fifita - 6 - Provided some
impetus for the Blues with his first Origin try but his good work was
overshadowed by a brain explosion that saw him got to the sin-bin.
Dawuane Smoot Youth Jersey. ?Queensland
Maroons 1. Darius Boyd - 7?- Organised the Queensland defence superbly and was
regularly a threat with ball in hand.2. Corey Oates - 6- Made some strong hit
ups to help the forwards but largely anonymous.3. Greg Inglis - 7?- Put in a
busy shift but after scoring the opening try most of his night was spent
defending.4. Justin ONeill - 5 - Did nothing wrong but didnt have much
opportunity to either.5. Dane Gagai - 5 - Did receive the service or the freedom
he had in game two and struggled to get involved.6. Johnathan Thurston - 7?- Was
well contained in the first half but still made the Blues nervous when he was
near the ball.7. Cooper Cronk - 6?- Offered little and off his game - spent time
in sin-bin for professional foul.8. Matt Scott - 8?- Met the Blues front-on and
rarely took a backward step. Bruising effort from one of the games best props.9.
Cameron Smith - 7 - At his niggly, scheming and manipulating best - played a
major role in everything Queensland did.10. Nate Myles - 6?- Failed to provide
much impact but was a strong effort just to be out there after missing game two
with a knee injury that threatened to end his season.11. Matt Gillett - 7?- Took
on a heavy defensive workload and was hard to handle with the ball. This series
has been the making of him at Origin level.12. Sam Thaiday - 6 - Worked hard in
defence and carried the ball up strongly but became most involved when there was
a potential flare-up.13. Corey Parker - 7 - His final Origin game was exactly
like his previous 18 appearances - tough and uncompromising.Interchange: 14.
Gavin Cooper - 7 - His first real Origin involvement resulted in a try on
debut.15. Josh McGuire - 7 - Did his job with a minimum of fuss and maximum
effort. 16. Aidan Guerra - 5 - Highlights were few and far between and his job
seemed to be to just come off the bench to give team mates a rest. 17. Jacob
Lillyman - 7 - Rolled the sleeves up and put in a strong shift in defence when
Queensland were really under the pump.
