Lets take a look at where the CWC participants are now
>TJ Perkins: Moved down the card within a few months, released this year in an era where WWE doesn't release anyone, now back at Impact
>Gran Metalik: Almost never appeared on raw or 205 live until the lucha house party gimmick started, which he is now the tertiary member of on raw
>Kota Ibushi: Appeared on a few NXTs but nothing more, now one of the top stars in NJPW
>Zack Sabre Jr: Made no more WWE appearances after losing in the semifinal, now a top gaijin in NJPW
>Rich Swann: Got the cw title briefly, and afterwards was one of the few cruiserweights actually wrestling regularly on raw with a storyline. Got released due to domestic violence charges, now at impact
>Brian Kendrick: Had a brief title run, hasn't been in the title picture since but is regularly featured on 205 live
>Noam Dar: Was the other half of the Rich Swann Alicia Fox storyline, mostly a comedy figure on 205 live, now a bit player in nxt uk
>Akira Tozawa: Had a very brief title run in the Neville era. Constantly in the title picture for 205 live, and got a shot at the NA title
>Lince Dorado: Only barely above Metalik on 205 Live/Raw before Lucha House Party, only got one throwaway title shot
>Johnny Gargano: Became the top guy in NXT, main eventing 7 takeovers, and holding all 3 male titles
>Cedric Alexander: Always a top guy on 205 Live, getting a long run with the title when HHH took over. Now on raw chasing after R-Truth
>Tony Nese: Mostly a comedy character on 205 live, but is now holding the title as the division is even deader than before
>Ho Ho Lun: Became an NXT jobber before requesting release, now just works asian indies
>Drew Gulak: Given a lot of TV time on 205 Live but mostly as a comedy figure, now getting a more serious run in NXT
>Tajiri: did a little 205 live and nxt stuff, but WWE decided he was too old and released him, now making sporadic AJPW

Swell work user, intriguing stats now that it has been sometime since the CWC; I am actually glad there was only 1, makes it special. As far as the breakout stars, obviously DIY, however, I am still have hope they will do something with Cedric Alexander
Fuck this was a good tournament
>Gargano and Ciampa had their best match together
>Cedric Alexander killed it and got "please sign Cedric" chants
>fucking KOTA IBUSHI
And I had hopes for the new cruiserweights :/
Also

You could have spent this time learning a craft or going out to talk to people. Instead you write something for a bunch of losers on a Cambodian Kite flying forum to get a few online (YOU)s
Please have sex and go out more
Metalik is probably the most depressing one
