Do me a favor
one of these Thursday nights, at 8:00 EST., turn on WWE Smackdown!.
Make sure you pay close attention to the cruiserweights. Now what
is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of WWE's brand
of cruiserweight wrestling? High flying, high risks, no care for
the human anatomy. This is what fans are fed these days as the cruiserweight
division continues to grow relentlessly into the 'high risk' division.
Drop the Hardcore title! You don't need it, you have guys flying
around in and outside the ring.
Now think for
a second about World Star Wrestling, with the approaching cruiserweight
division - do you want to see the same thing that you see every
Thursday on "Smackdown!"? Or do you want to see a new
blend of cruiserweights, fast paced technical/chain wrestling with
a blend of the 'high risk'? I hope you said the second one, because
looking at the roster set for the WSW's cruiserweight roster, it's
going to be interesting.
If you're looking
for the WWE's brand of cruiserweight wrestling, look for upcoming
stars such as, Draven Blaze,
I.B. Green, and G.Q. Blaze.
All have shown that they could fly with the best of them, taking
risks whenever they can! But the question is, will they pay off?
You want Ultraviolence?!
CZW Superstars' Chris Stylz
and Buzz will be making waves
in World Star this coming August. They have faced, what some consider,
the top lightweights in the United States.... can one of them prove
this so?
Then you have
some guys who capatilize on these risk-takers' errors. Donnie
Brass has shown this so recently at the Camp Dost show
in early July, taking Draven Blaze out with a knee injury sidelining
him for months. Donnie may have taken things way past the line,
but of all the cruiserweights mentioned so far, he is the smartest.
Next on the
evaluation, the 'Shooter' Shawn Sheridan
(SH3), who is a technical and impact wrestler with a minor
in high flying.... and self proclaimed "Master of the Neckbreaker".
With over 3 dozen variations served, I could see the bragging rights
allowed. He shows to be a top contender for the cruiserweight title,
and a worthy challenge for Donnie Brass. Or for that matter, any
of the cruiserweights.
Come August,
come to the Moosic shows, the McAdoo shows, the Hanover shows, the
shows wherever World Star venues.... show up to see a brand of cruiserweights
like never before
