CRUISERWEIGHT

Cruiserweight

In professional wrestling, a cruiserweight is a wrestler weighing 220 lb and less, sometimes 215. The older term junior heavyweight, which was used to describe the division, is more favored in Japan, where many titles for lighter-weight competitors are called junior heavyweight titles. Prominent titles include New Japan Pro Wrestling's IWGP, Pro Wrestling Noah's GHC, and All Japan Pro Wrestling's World/PWF titles. The weight limit utilized by World Championship Wrestling and Japanese promotions is "up to 220 lbs" . New Japan and Noah also have junior heavyweight tag team titles, for teams composed of junior heavyweights.
