The Irish Whip

One Irish fan's perspective on the weird wide world of professional wrestling

Cruisers Grounded?

According to 'inside sources', it seems that the WWE has banned its cruiserweights from performing high-risk aerial moves during their matches. Paul London is apparently upset about it, and so he should be (maybe that's why his promo on Velocity last week was so cringingly bad - he was getting back at his bosses! Yeah, that's right!).

Um, forgive me for pointing out the obvious, but isn't the whole point of having cruiserweights being that they fly around a lot and use the top rope? If they can't even do that, then why bother?

What is the WWE playing at? This makes no sense at all. It's like when Bill Watts banned top rope moves in WCW back in 1992, and pretty much killed off their light heavyweight division. Hell, it's like banning the Irish whip because someone got a rope burn.
