The Cruiserweight Classic continues to grow and is becoming a stand alone attraction on the WWE Network with performers from all around the world putting on world class matches for a global audience.
Despite having eight amazing athletes competing to advance into round two only four would prevail, some were left with disappointment while others bathed in glory.
Zack Sabre Junior
The British wrestling icon showed his talents to the world when he defeated the hard hitting Tyson Dux on the most recent episode of the CWC, but the 29-year-old was just relieved to have advanced into the next round.
He said "It is a relief not to have gone out in the first round I think that would have been a bit of a nightmare, mainly I am just ecstatic that I got through and that I can wrestle another day."
With the label of Harry Potter following the performer everywhere nowadays due to his magical like moves within the squared circle, ZSJ assured fans that he still has a few tricks left up his sleeve.
He said "Well [that match] was just kind of dipping my toe in the water so to speak, obviously he [Tyson Dux] is a strong lad I really had to fight for some of those holds but I have a big bag of magical tricks, Harry Potter is not the only wizard from England so watch this space."
Tyson Dux
The hard hitting Canadian has endured quite a tough wrestling career in his years of performing as in 2004 he came so close to earning a WWE contract but a knee injury halted him in his tracks.
Tyson Dux is convinced that the WWE Universe have not seen the last of him and he is desperate to overcome each setback after the next.
He said "Is this the end of the road? I have been at this for 20 years, I had a minor setback after minor setback, been as close to the dream as a man could get and the CWC has made this dream just a reality again so I missed it this time, but there are always other opportunities that is what the WWE is all about. You have not missed the last of Tyson Dux."
Drew Gulak
One man who was taken to the limit was Drew Gulak who was forced to use every move in his arsenal against Harv Sihra in order to advance into round two.
On why he uses such a brutal style he said "There is a high level of competition, you can expect a high level of brutality, I am known as the ‘Technical Terminator’ the ‘Minimalist Mutilator’ the ‘University City Stretcher’ and that is for good reason; I like to hurt people and I like to get the job done, tonight was not easy by any means, but I got the job done. Round two right?"
Gulak was right in many ways as despite battling hard against the Indian representative and one half of The Bollywood Boyz he advanced but with so many different styles of performers would he be forced into altering his game-plan?
He said "If it is not broken do not fix it, right now I feel right as rain I am not broken at all so I am going to stick to my guns but I always like to have my opponents scouted though and I feel like what I do works well with everybody so in that sense I do not have to change a thing."
Tony Nese
The victory of The Premier Athlete was almost overshadowed by the injury to Anthony Bennett who seemed to have struck his head on the mat following a slam.
However, the end was already in sight as Tony Nese had the youngster set up for the 450 splash that he hit to pick up the pin-fall victory.
On his win he said "Tonight’s match went great because I am moving on to the next round, I mean it is unfortunate what happened to my opponent I understand but this is a competition, he said he wanted to continue so I continued and I hit him with my 450 and now I am moving on."
Nese said in the build up to his first round match he "moves like a cruiserweight" but "hits like a heavyweight" and following the brutal beating that Bennett took he validated that statement, but would he have to change his style against his next opponent?
He said "It depends on who I am going against next but I find myself to be a hybrid wrestler and I can adapt to any style in The Cruiserweight Classic I expect nothing less from my opponent and whatever it is, it is going to be big competition but I am ready for it."
The Brian Kendrick
The veteran and former WWE performer showcased a brutal and sadistic style to his game that the current fans are maybe not used to as his opponent Raul Mendoza was cut open very early.
Kendrick forced the luchador's mouth onto the ring rope before kicking as hard as mouth as a river of blood flowed from the Mexican's mouth.
Despite his victory the 38-year-old was keen to place high praise on his defeated opponent he said "I am in need of an ice bath right now. I had never heard of Raul Mendoza before this week but jeez Louise he has got me seeing double out of one eye, the kid is one heck of a talent."
Just when it appeared that modesty would be Kendrick's main aim here, the rug was swept pulled away as he sent a message to every competitor in the CWC that was not him.
He finished with "At the end of the day he is just Raul Mendoza and I am The Brian Kendrick so yeah I am a little bit beat up, but I feel great."
