Gulak was vs. Williams is strange on so many levels. Both of them feel much more like "mat wrestlers" (ala Bryan or Sabre Jr. or O'Reilly) as opposed to "cruiserweights" in the way WWE likes to market them.

this is what i'm not liking about this cruiserweight thing, since it's about weight limits, they're just gonna make all the top guys in the indies look like small guys
