Hiya guys,
This post is way too negative for my own liking but, after my exam this morning, I was almost brought to tears while I was watching WWE RAW from last night. I needed somewhere to air my grievances and tonight I'm having a go at the crowd, not Creative or the superstars.
I was enjoying last nights show and, as usual, I was way too excited for the Cruiserweights match. The whole Monday night show is just me waiting for some of the Cruiserweights to come on and put those superstars to shame with their ability and technique. Well, you can imagine how upset I was when 4 of my favourite stars, Neville/ TJP v Austin Aries/ Jack Gallagher) on the ENTIRE roster had a tag team match. Wait, no... I wasn't upset that they came on, I was upset about the crowd's reaction. Those chants of 'This is boring,' and how the crowd wanted a refund really made me feel sick. Okay, you may not connect to these stars as much as the ones that you've watched for years but these guys are veterans in their own right. So tell me what's boring about that? Getting to even see them should be a blessing.
So, why do I love the Cruiserweight Division so much?
It's the sheer talent of these guys. Being a smaller girl myself, it's amazing to see stars who may not as big as the main roster guys but can still do these high intensity manoevers. What about those high flying moves from the top rope? I have never seen something as beautiful as Mustafa Ali's 450 Splash or Standing Spanish Fly and Jack G going all Mary Poppins on our arse. What about those technical submissions that show the sheer precision of the stars? TJ's TJP Clutch or Brian Kendrick's Captain's Hook are a thing of glory.
Each match is something different and we don't see the same guys winning or the same moves on the same people. TJ Perkins once said that 'Good wrestlers prepare, great ones adapt.' I think that perfectly sums up the Cruiserweights because each star has to change their style depending on their opponent.
I don't even want to get started about the stars themselves and the characters they portray. We have:
- A King who was overlooked by the WWE Universe (Neville)
- A Gentleman with his good ol' umbrella William III (Jack Gallagher)
- A gaming geek who =is now a bad ass (TJP)
- A wizard breaking stereotypes (Mustafa Ali)
- The Premier Athlete with ABS (Tony Nese)
- A Man with a Plan... and amazing ring gear (The Brian Kendrick)
It's such a diverse roster with no two superstars even remotely similar and there's a star for everyone!
So tell me again why these guys are disrespected so much? They put their hearts and bodies on the line to entertain us and all you do is complain - you don't deserve their talent. I really hope it gets better because they deserve better. Please, I know you have your opinions on 205 Live but be respectful because its a decent thing to do.
Sorry for this rant but, as soon as I saw the show, I couldn't be quiet anymore because it's been going on for too long.
That's all for now my dears,
See you soon
