I'm not sure if WWE will bring back the cruiserweight title, but I think they should, because they've got a lot of talented cruiserweight wrestlers, such as Rey Mysterio, Hunico, Sin Cara, Evan Bourne, Tyson Kidd, Kofi Kingston, Yoshi Tatsu, etc.I don't even understand why WWE removed the title in the first place, it was an excellent title and the matches were so exciting.

Marvin Camel and Mate Parlov fought to a draw in the first Cruiserweight championship bout on August 12, 1979, sanctioned by the World Boxing Council. Camel won the rematch to become champion. Since the WBC was the only sanctioning body to recognize a Cruiserweight division at the time, he is considered by some as an undisputed champion.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Cruiserweight_Champions http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=000854&cat=boxer
