WWE planning a cruisers/juniors tournament?

[Vinny Lupton]

J-Cup on the Network

Meltz:
There are plans in place to do a WWE Network multi-week series built around lighter weight wrestlers. The very sketchy plans, meaning these details are likely to change, and this also easily could not happen, were told to me about producing ten episodes, built around a tournament for “unknown” wrestlers (meaning those who haven’t appeared on WWE or NXT television) who are less than 205 pounds. The idea is to do something similar to a Japanese tournament, although that could change. The idea is for something in the summer. Multiple people in wrestling have confirmed the idea in the planning stages, with one idea apparently being all indie guys with the idea that if they get over they’ll be signed. The other is to mix “hot indie” guys with some WWE developmental talent, perhaps as a vehicle to debut Manny Andrade (La Sombra) in a big way

Based H's blessings are real


bonus: Coming into this week, the Smackdown main event finish has been a DQ or count out in ten of the last 13 weeks

Dave " Plans May Change" Meltzer Either someone in the E is trolling him, or he's trolling all of us.

Yeah, sure. The last time they tried that they gave us the Juniors Division with midgets real midgets

It amazes me that he actually still is considered credible when he says shyt like this.

At @Kevin_Nash booking this tournament for him to win, and blow out a quad.

There should be an official meltzer thread, stickied at the top of the forum.

WWE really shyts on the employees they already have

Super Calo about to be relevant again in 2016

Unless there shouldn't be, because we all should be ignoring Meltzer by now. But all of this is subject to change of course, unless it doesn't change which sometimes but not always happens.

It amazes me...but at the same time I'm not surprised despite being caught unawares
