10 WWE Decisions That Were Great For About A Minute

When some of the world's greatest talents took to the stage in the first ever Cruiserweight Classic in 2016, WWE fans were spoilt by the multiple rounds of outstanding wrestling to decide who would be the top dog.

So, when the 2016 brand extension culminated in Raw being given the keys to the Cruiserweight Kingdom, fans were understandably giddy about the prospect of the 'Classic' style matches taking centre stage every Monday night.

Very quickly you could see we weren't going to get what we wanted. This was WWE after all and McMahon evidently wanted to restrict the death defying antics of his new employees, perhaps so as not to detract from his top tier talent.

Boring, sports entertainment-lite matches were what we were given, before the division was given its own show and the talents would pull double duty between Raw and their new home, 205 Live.

Years of mediocrity followed and the Cruiserweight title being turned into a pre-show dummy prize, before Triple H took the reins of the brand and allowed the wrestlers to, you know, wrestle.

In late 2019, 205 Live is rumoured to be closing its doors, with talent now being used more frequently on the main roster and NXT. With a little more care and understanding of what WWE had in their grasp, this could've been fantastic.
