10 Wrestlers WWE Must Sign For The Global Cruiserweight Series

Who should keep their phone on waiting for a call?

by John Bills

The rumours have been rife since the WWE Network was merely an idea, but the confirmation has finally come. Cruiserweight wrestling is going to return to World Wrestling Entertainment, in the form of a 32-man Global Cruiserweight Series on the network. Mojo Rawley won't be involved, but I for one am guaranteed to stay hyped for this. One worry is that WWE don't have a great history when it comes to booking cruiserweight wrestling (Hornswoggle was the final champion in case you forgot), but times have changed. There has been a shift swing in mentality over the last few years, and the smaller men get more of a spotlight now than ever. WWE is no longer ruled only by giants. The weight limit for the tournament is set at 205lbs and WWE currently have a host of names on their active roster who meet this requirement. Names like Kalisto, La Sombra, Finn Balor, Chad Gable, Neville and more. Still, this has been confirmed as a 30+ man tournament and Triple H himself has said that names from outside the company will be involved, all of which raises the hype level to new heights. Who will WWE look to bring in for the tournament? The possibilities are practically endless, with a vast array of junior heavyweights making waves in wrestling rings around the world. Here are 10 men who simply must be called up to participate in the tournament.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
