Cruiserweight cutoff weights

What do you use as your maximum weight for cruiserweights?

My cutoff depends on the circuit I am using. In one of my circuits I have a cutoff of 220 pounds. In another I have a cutoff of 225, it all depends on your tastes of course.

Also, you know during a circuit when you bring up a wrestler's mini-profile if you can call it that, I think the wrestlers weight and finisher should be added into that profile in a future tnm7.

I disagree with you. I think that the cutoff weight for cruiserweights should be 225 pounds.

Well, in wrestling terms it's defined as 225, but since boxing, from where the name came from in the first place, places it as 190, whilst anyone weighing 225 would be a super heavyweight. On that basis, I'd say that if someone wanted, they could chop and change their cut-off points for weight classes as they pleased.

For the record, I still use the standard 225.

Don't worry, I was trying to do something on this discussion file. I'm not on there that often. What do you think of my ECW post & what did you think of my posts on your NWWJ file? Let me know. & if you want to jump in on the ECW in the Works post. Then feel free.

Personally I dont usually use a cruiserweight title because it is hard to stay to the weight limit, atleast for me.  I always forget and have someone just over win the title.  And you can only do the Horowitz/Eddie Gilbert angle from the GWF so often (anyone else know what I am talking about?).

I might just have that tape called the "Wins of The Winner" for only $49.95 somewhere.  ;)

The one that the announcers kept hyping as the only good 30 seconds of Horowitz's career.  ;)

funny stuff.  And the Cartel was quite the stable.  Scotty The Body, Rip Rogers, Cactus Jack, and Mahkan Singh.

My weight is 240 because I don't have a lot under 225. I could use a lot of cruiserweight's that I've never heard of, but I wouldn't know how to use them as I've never seen them.

I usually go with 230, but then I let some exceptions go by, I mean how can you leave La Parka out? ;)
