Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted January 24, 2010 Paid Members Share Posted January 24, 2010 Does anyone know if there's a reason why C.M Punk always berates the use of alcohol and prescription drugs in his promos but (as far as I know) he's never mentioned recreational drugs (in the WWE anyway). Â I'm sure more WWE fans are smoking weed and doing the odd pill or line than abusing prescription drugs, is it taboo mentioning drugs on WWE TV or something?

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted January 24, 2010 Paid Members Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) If the WWE were to bring back to the Cruiserweight Championship, which current WWE superstars would be within the weight limit to compete for the title? According to Wikipedia (Yes, I know), the limit is 215lbs. Anybody below that.

The Dart Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I'm fairly sure Wikipedia is wrong, and it was 220. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 24, 2010 Moderators Share Posted January 24, 2010 215 in WWF and 225 in WCW I always thought, that's how Benoits and Disco Infernos and La Parkas could challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original cutoff point for the WWF Light Heavyweight Title was 225. I only remember that because of the Christian 'chicken suit' episode of Sunday Night Heat.

The WCW Light Heavyweight title had a 235lbs weight limit, if I remember correctly, so people like Tom Zenk could get shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original cutoff point for the WWF Light Heavyweight Title was 225. I only remember that because of the Christian 'chicken suit' episode of Sunday Night Heat. Â I think it was 215 originally, back in 1997. I'm sure Brian Christopher was billed at being at 212 pounds or so and had the heaviest billed weight.

The Dart Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 It was definetly 215 when the Light Heavyweight Title was created in 1997. Â It might have been 225 at one point, but I'm sure the Cruiserweight title was 220 towards the end of the run, as I remember thinking John Morrison would just qualify when he was being billed at 219.

You're probably best to see if the popular wrestling torrent sites are registering new members. They have a ton of "Shoot Interviews" on there. Links are below..

NorthSeaTiger Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Sorry if its already been asked....When someone wins the WWE or World Title does he get money of that stature and is it all the same for everyone. As in, when say Khali won, did he get the same "Champion" wage as Mysterio, Edge, HBK?Not including individual contracts but a set amount added whenever someone wins the Big One? Sorry if its not clear...makes kinda sense in my head!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 26, 2010 Moderators Share Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) I imagine you get more. If I'm not mistaken, you get your downside (which isn't much), then Vince pays you whatever he decides to pay you. If you are in main events it'd be more, I'd reckon. Â Or at least that's what it used to be. Hence them always saying "Vince only offered me an opportunity".
