WWE: 8 Improvements To Make Wrestling Great Again

7. Lightweight Championship

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSk_UUtPMwM It seems that WWE seriously haven€™t paid attention as to what made WCW so watchable. The formula of high flying, superb action kicking off a show and finishing with the big stars of the company really took it to WWE during the Monday Night Wars. The €˜E has plenty of top stars at the moment but the guys on the undercard are simply there as filler so it seems. Let€™s give them a reason to fight and as a bi-product, make the audience care a little bit. It€™s not hidden that many of the faces on Main Event or Saturday Morning Slam are employed by WWE as time fillers to bulk out these less desirable shows but these same guys should be being looked at as the future of the company. The person who should be making the decision on whether a guy will be a big deal is the audience. WWE at the moment insist on constantly pushing talent down our throats without us first making our minds up on them and overall it€™s causing harm to the product. What€™s also glaringly obvious is how small most of the roster is nowadays and the reason is twofold; no more steroids and most wrestlers can actually wrestle therefore are athletes with athletic builds. WCW would have called these guys cruiserweights, not jobbers. Why doesn€™t the WWE, and while there at it, develop a whole division around them? Where would guys like Jericho, Guerrero, Benoit, Mysterio among others have been without the cruiser division in WCW? The current crop of genuinely talented wrestlers who may be lacking slightly in the charisma department is mind boggling. Guys like Primo and Epico, Tyson Kidd, Justin Gabriel, Sin Cara, Kofi Kingston etc who are all struggling to find their place on the pecking order could make names for themselves in a lightweight division. Showcase what they have got and that€™s the insane ability to put on fast paced entertaining matches that the crowd will love. The sort of contests in which a viewer will become invested through enjoyment and overtime, will show the company just who might be the stand out stars of the future.
