The best high-flying wrestling act to you?

Who was/is your favorite high flying wrestler of all times? Though I have predominantly watched Rey Mysertio and RVD who happens to be my faves, Eddie Guerrero tops my list for having a way out of the frog splash if his opponent were to move by rolling and special mention to AJ Styles for his unique move set.

Your say?

I loved the cruiserweights work in WCW obviously of Rey, Juvi, Eddie, La Parka, Jushin fucking Thunder Liger and Kidman.

But in terms of wow factor I can't go past AJ Styles and my favourite, a prime RVD. RVD did stuff I couldn't believe with my own eyes. I still think his 5 Star Frog Splash is the best finisher of all time.

Mysterio for WWE/WWF/WCW/ECW - honourable mentions to Ultimo Dragon, Psychosis, and The Juice (I think).

Yes I am definitely implying that Mysterio is highly outclassed by many other people in many other companies - clearly Mexico. Jack Evans is an indy wrestler who does some insane shit.

Ultimo Dragon was the first name that came to mind for me. He was one of the main reasons that I enjoyed the tuned into the cruiserweight division in WCW. Don't get me wrong guys like Mysterio, Guerrera, Kidman and others were awesome too. But Ultimo Dragon is still one of my personal favorite cruiserweights. I remember when news broke out he was coming to WWE, I was ecstatic. Shame that went down the shitter pretty quickly.

Other guys I do enjoy (or enjoyed) were: Jushin "Thunder" Liger, Rob Van Dam, AJ Styles, "Flyin" Brian Pillman. Well you all get the picture.

Ultimo Dragon, The Great Sasuke and Brian Pillman.

Rey Mysterio is probably better then those 3, but I like them more.

AS far as high flyers the guys who paved the way deserve a little more mention....without a Mil Mascaras, Jimmy Snuka, Tiger Mask or even Muta I don't think we would have some of the excitment we have today.

With that being said, all time I take Ultimo Dragon in his prime but has anyone seen Extreme Tiger that guy is awesome.

Rey Mysterio for me. In the late 90's when I watched WCW, the guy just amazed me. One of the best high-flyers in the history of Pro Wrestling. Before his knee injuries, he was nearly untouchable in terms of high-flying talent.
