WWE Cruiserweight Classic host Daniel Bryan recently participated in a media call with The Fan Garage, and below are some highlights.
As a reminder, be sure to join WZ tonight for our triple shot of live coverage with Lucha Underground, WWE NXT and the premiere of the Cruiserweight Classic!
Can we expect tournaments similar to the CWC in WWE?:
“I can’t say I know. But when Triple H had talked about it… he had mentioned that he wanted to make this an annual thing. He thinks that it’s a great show for the Network to have, and I say why not? I mean it’s a great concept.
As for the tournaments, I don’t know what the WWE wants to do going forward, but I have been a fan of tournaments for a long time, so we will wait and see. if this thing takes off, who knows… we may see another one on RAW (laughs).”
Should WWE bring back the Cruiserweight Title?:
“You know, that’s a fascinating question because so many of the top guys now would be considered cruiserweights back when WCW had the first cruiserweight matches those many years ago. The cruiserweight championship I remember was for 225 lbs and under (102 kgs) and the Cruiserweight Classic is 205 lbs and under.
But if you look at the WWE roster today, everybody is a bit smaller because now, fans want more action which requires more mobility, which requires you to be a bit lighter.
One of the things that I think we will see is that some of these guys who are say only 160 lbs., which might be 75 kgs, they are amazing and people want to see them. So, I wouldn’t be surprised, especially with the brand extension set to come, that the WWE does restart the Cruiserweight championship.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
