They've backed themselves into a corner from day one (which the podcast I listen to called right away)

Posted by Tim (aka othertim) Jul 7 '17, 18:44

Having the cruiserweights as their own thing, separate from the main Raw roster, while leading to really good matches at times, tells the crowd "you can ignore this" and it's the new Divas Match bathroom break.

On the other hand, if these guys are part of Raw, they're all generally smaller flippy guys, which means they (in kayfabe) don't really stand a chance against bigger guys. Imagine Braun vs. Jack Gallagher for instance. He'd die.

Don't get me wrong, WWE is doing some stuff I like. Joe vs Lesner! And nearly everything on Smackdown. I'm pretty sure I'd still like NXT if I watched - Qale Jul 7, 18:47 6
- There's some okay stuff right now even though Brock holding the title hostage is killing Raw. -- nm - Tim Jul 7, 18:52 5
  - Joe should beat him. He won't, but he should. -- nm - Qale Jul 7, 19:06 4
    - Joe beats him, rematch at Summerslam, Joe wins. -- nm - Remlik Jul 7, 19:15 3
      - Excellent. Over on Smackdown, Sami beats Jinder eventually, Baron cashes in on Sami. -- nm - Qale Jul 7, 19:37 2
        
        I still think Nakamura beats Jinder at SummerSlam and Corbin immediately cashes in. -- nm - Tim Jul 7, 20:08 1
        
        They won't even let Nakamura cut a promo or have a regular match. Eff that noise. -- nm - Qale Jul 7, 20:25
