1997 up until the end of WCW saw what is generally seen as the greatest Cruiserweight Division in wrestling history. With talent like Dean Malenko, Juventud Guerrera, Rey Mysterio, Jr., Blitzkrieg, Jushin Liger, Ultimo Dragon and Psychosis, they would often open WCW shows with amazing matches. There was a multitude of six man tag matches, awesome 3 way dances and electrifying singles matches. They put on some of the most technically sound matches mixed with dangerous high flying maneuvers that you won't see anywhere else. They brought us several classics, most notably Rey Mysterio, Jr. vs. Eddie Guerrero at Halloween Havoc 1997.
They hardly get discussed around here, but I know that they have a large following. Here are a couple of my favorite matches from the division:
This match sees my two favorites in the division(excluding Malenko, who basically WAS the division) putting on a great match. There are so many fantastic sequences, and the finisher was as brutal as they come.
Awesome tag-team moves(6:35 especially) and amazing displays of agility. Words really can't do justice to some of the great sequences in this match.
Were you a fan of the WCW Cruiserweight Division? If so, what were some of your favorite matches? Who were your favorites in the division?
