Cruiserweights told to tone down their style, Overnight SD rating, more
On Friday, August 5, 2005 at 1:15 PM EST -WWE has reportedly told their cruiserweight division to 'tone down' their style in recent weeks. This is a result of injuries sustained by Chavo and Paul London taking moves like the shooting star press and the 450 splash, respectively. On a recent Velocity, London actually used his old finisher from his indy days, the London/Shooting Star Press, after being given the tone down notice. He was then told that move was not to be used anymore. It isn't know which moves, other than the SSP apparently, are on or off limits, but it will be interesting to see if this is a ban similar to the tombstone/piledriver ban, where some guys have to comply with it, and others are allowed to break it at certain times.
-This week's Smackdown drew an overnight rating of 3.6. We hope to have the final number later today here on WrestleView.
-We made note of this year's Unforgiven poster yesterday. You can view the poster, which contains a probable spoiler for SummerSlam, here.
