Come on Naitch you better than this :beli: Some of the most popular guys of the last ten years weren't big dudes. Punk, Bryan and Seth specifically.

So a cruiserweight is defined on WWE.com as 205 and below, professional wrestling wise/historically it is generally 220-225 but using todays metrics, flair is correct

Shawn Michaels is billed as 225
Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero both billed as 220

generally these guys are not considered cruiserweights, same goes for Jericho in his prime.....you are being dishonest if you think kayfabe wise these guys were portrayed as anything but "smaller heavyweights"

the closest would be Daniel Bryan who is billed as 210 and even that is above 205

so once again, everybody on this site jumped the gun... Flair is actually correct and contextually, he is probably referring to guys below 200lbs

there is nobody who has main evented a wrestlemania below 205 (the current mark for cruiserweights)- those other guys were generally regarded as junior heavyweights or smaller heavyweights in WWE

Unless he's talking 190 pound weaklings then cruiserweights have Main Evented plenty of times.

Billed weight is kayfabe, same with height, big show is billed higher than shaq and look at them standing together. Also Bret the GOATman Hart was billed at 6'2" I met him and he was far shorter than me
