Chad Wicks, formerly of the Dicks tag team, worked a dark match at the WWE RAW taping this past Monday in Cleveland, Ohio doing a "stripping fireman" gimmick. Nothing has been said to weather he has signed a new WWE deal. Wicks has been to work in Ohio Valley Wrestling after his WWE release.

Bob Holly is coming close to returning to the ring. Holly has successfully battled the severe staph infection in his elbow, he has been having a rough couple of months however has come through them.

As noted on the SmackDown spoilers, Billy Kidman worked a dark match under a mask, losing to Jamie Noble. AT the moment Billy Kidman hasn’t been offered a WWE deal.

O please return Billy Kidman, he's one of my all time fave cruiserweights

I know a lot of people like Kidman, but I never saw anything in him. Obviously I'd take him over Holly though. Freaza

did you ever watch his WCW stuff after he got away from Raven's Flock? those were his best days and i think the fans remember his feuds with Rey, Eddie, Juvi, etc. out of everything he's ever done so they still have a soft spot for him.

It's unfortunately good that Holly's coming back soon. I'll be happy if Kidman comes back, except his move is banned so it won't be that great. About the whole Chad Wicks thing...no. :|oreoshane

With that said, I'd really like to see Kidman back.  He may be a shell of the breakout star of the Flock, but his shell is still alot better than a lot of guys, especially if they pushed him as a heavyweight, which towards the end of his run he could easily have been.  He had some really good matches with London and could be a solid mid-card attraction, I believe.  I always thought WWE dropped the ball on Kidman's post-botch heel turn.  There was a period where I think he was the most over heel on Smackdown.  Imagine if he was the guy that "injured" John Cena, instead of the beyond lame "night club puncture wound" story.

Plus, Kidman's SSP was never that great, especially in comparison to say Paul London's

According to PWTorch.com, if Kidman, who worked under a Japanese mask, is re-signed, he will likely work on the ECW brand.hbk91

Cruiserweight division needs him and Mysterio back.mja2k3

He could (and probably will) just get the Benoit treatment and follow off his career by working in the US division, or alternatively, in the tag team division instead.

Back on topic, ECW is being fed with a lot of talent and a lot of classes for divisions, and if Kidman does eventually sign with the WWE again and work in ECW, I hope he, along with the others (not used too), get treated efficiently this time round.

I still think the Cruiserweight Title should be dropped altogether. Its not showcased anymore, it doesn't even have Velocity. Drop the belt and incorporate the Cruisers in the tag division and to add depth to the midcard. The_Dude14

Yeah...fully I agree...

Also...after time period of the cruiserweights being established in other divisions...and mid-card being more established and therefore...gaining some more talent...if and when that ever happens... I say they should bring back European or Television Title... There would not be pressure on the cruiserweights to be unique division...and it would allow for some non-cruisers to win the title...
