Well, in this week's smackdown, Matt Hardy mentioned losing 10 pounds to qualify to fight in the cruiserweight division and take Kidman's title.
One possibility: (not bloody likely, but eh.)
*begin scene* in a week or two, Matt Hardy, having trained and lost weight via Mattitude, goes up to have himself re-weighed. Of course, right before, you see #1MFer Shannon Moore go to rig the scale. Well, the refs and officials find that Matt Hardy V1 is able to wrestle in the cruiserweight division, weighing in at an even 115.
Out of curiosity of his own weight, Rikishi steps on, looks, and finds also, 115.
Switch camera to ring.
*end scene*
My friend figured that might be good for the Weiners to process.

Sounds cool, but 115? Don't you mean 215? *I* even weigh more than 115 and I ain't even a cruiser-weight, I'll tell you that.
Originally posted by tomvejadaI remember the chickensuit bit. Kurt Angle had a memorable cameo in that.
Was that on an episode of heat from 2000 when Dean Malenko was champ and Christian wanted to face him as he wanted more gold. Foley said he had to lose a pound before the end of the show as he was over the limit. Christian exercises in a chicken suit to help lose the weight but ends uo too tired to wrestle the match?
I remember wanting to see something like this before Jericho jumped to RAW, with Jericho wanting to win the belt because it would have been the one weight-class that he hadn't already established himself as a champion in the WWE.
I'm looking forward to weeks of Matt finding new ways to cheat and remain qualified for Cruiserweight status!

That's pretty much it. Christian was over the limit by a pound, and had to try to work the weight off. He wasn't quite there when he ran into Foley, who made the comment that the quickest way to shed water weight is with the use of a rubber suit.
"Do you have one?" "No, I don't..but I *do*..have *this*."
And he plunks the chicken head over Christian's head.
Christian thought it was bull, so Foley somehow convinced him that Kurt Angle used the suit to train for the Olympics.
Cut to Christian doing jumping jacks in the suit as Edge eggs him on with the awesome dream of double gold.
After Christian pukes out some weight in the bathroom, he and Edge emerge to run into..Kurt Angle, who had the best line of the whole thing.
"Hey, my chicken suit!" "Yeah, 224!"
Christian and Angle highfive.
And yeah, Malenko easily beat Christian in the match because Christian was too tired after shedding the weight.
This whole thing is on Foley's DVD, Hard Knocks and Cheap Pops, and the sitdown talk that Foley, Edge and Christian do is worth the price of the DVD.

The whole segment, not just the Foley part, can be found on the "WWF's Funniest Moments" DVD.

Yeah, but I would still get the Foley DVD to get all the great matches, like Mind Games and the espically tasty Kennel in a Cell with Mick and Kevin Kelly doing commentary.
You don't get it boy, this isn't a mudhole... it's an operating table. And I'm the surgeon. Something tells me to stop with the leg. I don't listen to it. But where in the world is there in the world A man so extroardinaire?

I'd still recommend the Foley DVD because, to put it bluntly, the "Funniest Moments" DVD really fucking sucks.

I thought he was talking kilograms - 115 kilograms would be cruiserweight level.

A similar story was done in the ole WCW days when Disco was trying to lose weight to wrestle for the Cruiser belt. Some of those skits were the 2nd most entertaining things Disco has ever done (#1 being trying to join the NWO)

I remember that stuff! Of course, once he did get in the nWo Wolfpac elite circa '99, he was the ringmaster of the videotaped skit where the nWo spoofed the Horsemen yet again.
When Hogan shows up in boxer shorts, Disco let loose the funniest line of his career: "HE'S NOT WEARING ANY PANTS!" Best. Line. EVER.
Damn, I miss Disco Inferno.

whoops. Yeah, I meant 215. although kg would make sense, I guess. I'm just still thinking in the 1-hundreds, which is my current weight range, so I keep writing all weight with 1 as the first digit.
