I told y'all about Bryan...I'm gonna give y'all one bar on Finn Balor...

[Here Comes the Pain]

Balor is billed at 190 pounds, why he's the only cruiserweight that gets to compete with the man sized roster is weird to begin with.

If it was up to me they would all be competing for a cruiserweight title.

One segment per show. Make it work

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Regardless of what y'all smug cynical ass nikkas think..

Balor has put in work in this wrestling shyt and is actually MARKETABLE

Which in WWE is a huge factor

I say the same thing about reigns & lesnar.

 

[Starboy52]

In all fairness, Bryan's injuries were because dude refuses to change his style and slow down for his own safety, even after having seizures and shyt.

Balor's is pretty much just misfortune at this point

Rey Mysterio.

What do you think Shawn Michaels weighs in this picture?

Were they in an era where cruiserweights are contained to their own show and only allowed to compete against each other? They've made a big deal out of the 205 weight limit and created a show specifically for it. Yet they had a lone straggler on Raw billed at 190 wrestling dudes as big as Jinder. It's kind of weird. Neville isn't allowed to wrestle anyone but the cruiserweights, but Balor is. That was my point.

 

[Ripp]

Yeah he didn't have a match the night he returned. He cut a promo, but let's ignore that and blame the injury on the guy who got stiffed in the head by the jobber he was facing

I meant the first match of his return. Why you gotta be difficult?

I'm not blaming anyone I'm speaking facts
Being injury prone isn't about major injuries it's about the frequency of the injuries... And Balor just came back and got injured again... triple H had one major injury and came back better than ever

 

[Ripp]

Cena has at least twice come back and was immediately made #1 contender

That was a typo... I meant to write re injured lol. My fault...

 

[Ripp]

Funny you mentioned that term

This is a classic moment though... And Nash already had his run at the top by the time his body went to shyt... everyone knows where they were when Kevin Nash fukked up his quad and we can all laugh and home about it... Finn valor may be done for good when he should just be getting started

You can put paint on a vanilla midget but once the paint rubs off it's still a vanilla midget

Reigns hasnt put in that work


Hes only been wrestling about 5 years

Balor and Brock both have about 15 years plus

Sami Zayn and Seth Rollins aren't much bigger than 205 either. Wanna ship AJ to 205 too?

But they are or are billed as such. Balor is billed at 190, 15 pounds under the cruiserweight limit. Billing Balor at a weight well under the cruiserweight division weight limit but not having him in the cruiserweight division when everyone else under that weight is is pretty weird and inconsistent. Just bill him at 207.

The cruiserweight division was always like that, though. Mysterio was wrestling for the world heavyweight title.

Vince is weird in general for demanding real weights for some and having others clearly fake. If you have a competent writing staff though, you can make something out of Finn being the "only" crusierweight competing with the heavyweights. Makes him special and adds to his character. The answer to the original question is that he makes too much money and is too popular for 205 live.

'It was never like that. In WCW or WWE. Cruiserweights moved up and down the card and divisions all the time. They didn't have their own show and own roster where they can only wrestle each other.

It may be presented a different way, but it's still the same. The crusierweight title is a midcard title to propel guys.
