GLOBAL CRUISERWEIGHT SERIES — SERIES PREMIERE WEDNESDAY, JULY 13 AT 9 P.M. ET
For the first time ever, WWE invites cruiserweights from all over the world to compete in the inaugural Global Cruiserweight Series. Thirty-two of the greatest in-ring competitors under 205 lbs. will descend upon Full Sail University in Orlando, Fla., and collide for 10 weeks to earn the right to call themselves the best cruiserweight in the world.

[Matt D]

I wonder how much Brian Christopher weighs now.

[RIPPA]

As I just said on Twitter - who would be the most infuriating person to win it?

 

Can Del Rio drop to under 205?

[Craig H]

I would imagine the guys who received a cup of coffee in NXT recently would be involved in this. 

[RIPPA]

At quick glance - I am figuring they are going to use it to get Sombra... err... Manny Andrade or Austin Aries over

Matt Riddle comes to mind too.

[Casey]

Chris Girard is going to murder some fools, and I expect people like Rich Swann to impress too.

Yeah, Swann was one of the cup of coffee guys I was referring to. 

 

This is hella exciting. I'm hoping that everyone involved really busts their ass to get noticed. I also wonder if the current road agents will be putting matches together or if the wrestlers will be responsible for figuring out the layout of the match.

[J.H.]

Could be an excuse to bring Liger back

 

James

[ChrisM]

Does Balor weigh under 205?

[Casey]

Yeah. But I don't think they're going to use the NXT Champion in this (if he's still champ by July). It seems more like a showcase for NXT talent not currently on TV that much and independent names that WWE deems worthy. But, who knows.

[Jenalysis]

Does Balor weigh under 205?

 

They bill him at 190 or 195.

[Matt D]

How big is Busisk?

[Casey]

199lbs

[Godfrey]

Sabre just got his work visa didn't he? He'd a be good candidate.

[RIPPA]

For whoever brought him up - Liger is technically more than 205

Not that would stop them

[Matt D]

This is obviously why Super Porky has been out of action recently.

[Tromatagon]

He will just flop one titty on the scale, it'll be less than 205, and he's in

[MoeCristyV.1.6]

Ricochet knows more, but he won't take the fun out of the guessing game.

I love to stir the pot and keep people guessing! But most of all I love seeing people so excited about wrestling again.

[Tromatagon]

Yeah, the same Ricochet that is under exclusive TV contract somewhere else.

 

Maybe they don't count the WWE Network as TV

[Matt D]

What's funny is when they didn't sign him because they had too many flippy guys already.

[Tromatagon]

At least we know what that LU meeting with WWE that went nowhere that Dave mentioned was about

[Spritenaut 32]

As I just said on Twitter - who would be the most infuriating person to win it?

 

Triple H?

 

Brie Bella presumably weighs less than 205.

[Hagan]

The 'cruiserweight' phrase is so limiting. How many 'cruiserweights' have been WWE or world champ? Just say it's the 32 best unsigned wrestlers in the world.

[MoeCristyV.1.6]

DDT also:

Just for fun if DDT got involved who would you like to see in WWE's new Cruiserweight show?
