The CWC was a treat, don't think Raw action will deliver ...

Belt design looks good but the plates look like cheap plastic.

Division will be good if they give them some personalities. Just sending them out there to do high spots every week will get old.

Anybody know why Ibushi and ZSJ did not sign contracts?

Sabre said he still had stuff he wanted to do before signing but everyone expects him to sign next year.

Ibushi doesn't want to sign anywhere exclusively because he likes the freedom of being able to wrestle blow up dolls if he wants :yeshrug:

ZSJ didn't impress me , I saw him in Indy matches where he entertained me but not in cwc :francis: Gallagher killed him At his own game

Gallagher is so much better than ZSJ it's not even funny. Not only does ZSJ look like a human slinky, but his "look at all these submission I can do *wink* LOL" mess is :why:
He can wrestle but he seems heelish to me on the indies ( i believe hes a team with Marty scrull) and this tournament wasn't the time to do the type of matches he was doing . Everyone else wrestled like it was a real sport snd competition he was wrestling like a spot show in a Podunk town where he entertaining just some hillbillies.

Terrible facial expression selling aside I thought Sabre was alright outside of his first match :manny:

I look at Gallagher different than Sabre though. Gallagher works a technical style but has comedy worked into it & Sabre isn't doing that. Gallagher has a much better chance of connecting with a WWE audience though because Sabre ain't for everyone.

That belt is a dark purple, which matches the color they were using for the tournament. But I can see why it may not be obvious to some people.

But yeah, I don't have much hope for Raw using the CW division effectively. Hopefully they are used sparingly as a special attraction and do most of their work on NXT.
I see them being used just like the women are. A main feud between 2 or 3 people and the rest just floundering in matches that don't mean anything or being kept off TV until it is their time to be entered into the title hunt for a couple weeks/months.

No sabre was fine but if I hadn't seen him before I'd be like :francis::usure:. He looked like he was in sparring sessions though while Gallagher turned it up . He never hit his second gear to me . I think he's hurt cause some of his signature spots are done better by people in wwe such as the the uppercuts and kicks . And I think he needed a different style of opponent to showcase his style more.
