7 Ways WWE Are Failing Their Own Cruiserweight Division

6. In-Ring Style Doesn't Stand Out

Older WCW fans will recall how much Cruiserweight matches between the likes of Rey Mysterio, Psichosis, Eddie Guerrero and others stood out during the mid-1990s. Hell, even Dean Malenko worked a different style to everybody else on the card. WWE's Cruiserweights don't do this; they come across as smaller heavyweights instead.

That's not high praise, and it doesn't seem to be through choice of the men involved. The Cruiserweight action in WWE has noticeably slowed since the Cruiserweight Classic ended. This isn't good, because it leaves guys like Lince Dorado and Mustafa Ali struggling to fit in.

The same goes for someone like Cedric Alexander. He proved he could fly in Ring Of Honor, so why take that freedom away from his performances when it formed part of the reason WWE were interested in the first place? Right now, the in-ring style of the Cruiserweights is no different to any other match.
