Fun Fact: The tournaments to crown the first Cruiserweight Champion was mentioned alot on WCW Nitro in the early days of its existance. There was no graphic or brackets for it, just random matches being called tournaments matches, even if both wrestlers had lost other "tournament" matches. Mr. JL was in about 4 of them. Bonus: When all of these "tournament" matches was happening, the first champ had already been crowned.

Vince Mcmahon was just not interested in smaller wrestlers except as one offs. The cruiser weights never got their due. You want great matches with smaller wrestlers, you have to look at NJPW or AEW. You might get a few good gems in WWE's library... but it's rare. And yeah, Matt losing in front of his family is a Vince classic. He loves to build up the drama then destroy hope, that cartoon villain that he is.
