On WWE’s decision to infuse more cruiserweight wrestling in to it’s product:

JS: Once you stick yourself in that cruiserweight or light-weight niche… when I see it now it’s slowly turning one of the greatest wrestling companies in to looking like an independent. Like a TNA or something like that. I think it’s wrong. I think the way that they are doing things now is wrong. That style of wrestling should be part of a card but not every freaking match. That’s bullcrap. That’s one of the big mistakes they’re making right now. Yeah, cruiserweights are a great thing. 150 pound guys that are that size or whatever, yeah, but they shouldn’t be wearing the WWE title. That’s a joke. They should barely be able to get around the Intercontinental belt. 

BK: I take it like everything else. Everything changes. Nothing stays the same. So, if this is the way it’s changing and the people are still getting with it, it looks like they are, that’s the way. They still have some big guys. Look at Cass with his buddy Enzo. He’s my favorite. 

JS: Look at the ratings. Look at who is drawing. The house show. The gates. Look at the pay-per-views… is it really working?
