Sit Upon The Frozen Heavens
I was arguing with a friend a bit down in the 205 Live LD about TJP and I'm hoping he sees this so we can continue this discussion.
Now I want to start off by saying this isn't a thread to bash the division. If you want to do that go somewhere else. I actually love the Cruiserweight Division and have since I started watching wrestling in 2002. I watch 205 Live religiously and I watched the awesomeness that was the CwC (well most of it anyway)
That being said I can't stand TJ Perkins and I'm in the he's bland as $#!+ camp. He was a breath of fresh air during the CwC not because he was something unique and amazing but because the entire CwC was unique and amazing. I honestly think he only won the tournament and the title. because he was the only one remotely over that signed a contract. He also didn't have language issues, visa problems or indy dates to finish up and was able to jump right over to the main roster.
Since joining the main roster he's done absolutely nothing to make himself stand out both as champion and after losing it. He doesn't stand out in the ring or on the mic during promos.
Anyone can take his place and I honeztly believe no one would give a shit. As much as I hate the term he's the definition of Vanilla Midgit. The more the division is built up and the more others have a chance to build characters through storylines the more he's just not needed.
He comes off as a smarmy douchebag so maybe a heel turn will help, maybe it won't.
What say you guys?
