Triple H Answers Several Questions About WWE Relaunching Cruiserweight Division

Triple H gets a lot of flack from many fans within the WWE Universe, but few can disagree that since he’s taken the job within corporate WWE that he hasn’t had the WWE product dramatically better for the present and the future.

The company has had great success improving WWE’s developmental system, creating the WWE Performance Center and elevating the NXT brand.

This week, WWE’s latest project was announced and revealed to be the Global Cruiserweight Series that will debut on the WWE Network this July.

Shortly after the announcement was made, The Game did an exclusive interview with Scott Fishman of Channel Guide Magazine and discussed the series in depth.

How will WWE be filling the 32 tournament spots?

“A lot of times, in the past, we’ve operated on ‘you either work for WWE or you didn’t work for WWE. I think with something like this, we’re opening it up a bit more. We are going to allow these guys to come in. I’m not just trying to find the cruiserweights that are the obvious ones. I think those guys will be there, the top guys in the world. But I’m trying to find the undiscovered diamonds someplace else that will blow people’s minds; someone who maybe hasn’t gotten the opportunity yet to be seen. When we say 32, we’re looking at every corner of the world. I have [William] Regal out there in every corner of the globe trying to find not only the ones who people are aware are the best, but others who nobody is aware of quite yet. We want to put them in this and let’s see what they can do.”

“Obviously, if someone is under contract with, say, New Japan Pro Wrestling, I don’t think they are going to have the opportunity to perform in this type of tournament. Though anybody that has the opportunity, freedom and availability to do something like this with us, we are looking at working with them. I’m open to working with other groups that are out there such as Progress, Evolve, Rev Pro and places like that. They have a lot of talent they work with, but those talents have that ability to do other things. It’s an opportunity to be on a platform to be seen by millions around the world and become much bigger stars in their own right. If we can use those promotions in a way that helps them as well, to me that’s great. I think helping that independent undercurrent is beneficial to everybody.”
