Your Dream Cruiserweight Division

[Guest TheBlurricane]

I don't know if this topic has been done, but I'll start one.

 

Who would make up your dream cruiserweight division for the wwe?

 

For me...keep in mind I haven't seen every cruiserweight some I've only heard about.

 

Hurricane

Rey Mysterio Jr.

Jamie Noble

Tajiri

AJ Styles

Low Ki

Juventud Guerrera

La Parka

Ultimo Dragon

Kidman

Chavo Guerrero Jr.

Shannon Moore

Elix Skipper

Kid Kash

 

 

I might add on later.....that's all I can think of now.

[Guest razazteca]

well I would add my favs from CMLL, NWA TNA, Smackdown, and some guys from japan or ROH.

 

La Parka would be better suited in hardcore matches against Crash for comedy relief.

[Guest Downhome]

Just off the top of my head, Dragon Kid must take part!

[Guest Ravenbomb]

Low-Ki

Shane Helms

Dragon Kid

Great Sasuke

TAKA Michinoku

Atlantis

Christopher Daniels

Lightning Kid (X-Pac, pre-suck)

Rey Misterio Jr.

Lance Storm

Yoshihiro Tajiri

Mikey Whipwreck

 

 

 

Do they have to be alive?

[Guest Zero_Cool]

Dean Malenko

Ultimo Dragon

Tajiri

Rey Misterio Jr.

Scotty 2 Hotty (the worm itself could get the matches over with the crowds)

Psicosis

Juvi Guerrera

Chris Jericho (96-98 form)

Eddie Guerrero

Dynamite Kid (I hear he was better than Benoit during his prime)

X-Pac (pre-suckiness)

'Sugar' Shane Helms w/ Vertebreaker

Jamie Noble

[Guest Downhome]

If they don't have to be alive, or active, then I would build the division around Tiger mask I and The Dynamite Kid. They are, with good reason, both in my top five favorite wrestlers of all time. That's pretty good company if you ask me with Ric Flair, Chris Benoit, and Bret Hart being the others.

[Guest TheBlurricane]

Naw they don't have to be alive

 

Just whomever you like.

[Guest Downhome]

I know this will sound crazy, but how about Davey Boy Smith, early 80's version, when he wasn't as big and was one mother f*ck of a juinor weight wrestler? He was damn good back then if you ask me.

[Guest tombstone]

From what I've seen of CW's, which aint a lot.

 

Eddie G

Chavo G

Rey

Kidman

Hurricane

Noble

Low Ki

Jerry Lynn

Lance Storm

Tajiri

(Dean Malenko if willing to wrestle)

 

Have a latino stable of eddie - chavo and Rey.

Kidman with a face slacker gimmick

Hurricane pretty much as is, but using the Gregory helms reprter character more for fun. Also bring back the Vertebreaker and have Hurricane down bigger guys (Big Show, HHH) with it to showcase his superhero status.

Noble as is, great gimmick

Low Ki as a MANIAC who flips around for the fun of it, he'll get over like the Hardys did in late 99.

Jerry Lynn as a total Villain, using the Cradle to KILL people.

Lance Storm can disappriove the other CW's frivolous antics and can work a more technical style. The matches with Lynn or Eddie would be great beyond belief.

Tajri, is just class.

malenko, put on a great series witgh Scott Taylor in 2000 and almost single handedly rescued the WWF Light Heavyweight Title.

[Guest BionicRedneck]

If they don't have to be alive,then i'm sure you wouldn't mind cripples:

 

Dynamite Kid

Chris Benoit

Eddy Guerrero

Dean Malenko

Jushin Liger

Rey Misterio Jr.

Shinjiro Ohtani

Great Sasuke

TAKA Michinoku

Koji Kanemoto

Tiger Mask

Tiger Mask IV

Ultimo Dragon

The Dragon Kid

Juventud

Tajiri

Super Crazy

Jerry Lynn

Jaimie Noble

Chris Jericho

 

And...Hayabusa

[Guest El Psycho Diablo]

Liger, damnit!

 

I'm dissapointed in all of you except BR.

[Guest Kid Kablam]

SHARK BOY!!!!!!

[Guest saturnmark4life]

yes, lyger, sasuke, TAKA, Togo, Funaki, Teioh then

malenko

rey

chavo

Lynn

hurricane

and that would suit me MIGHTY fine.

[Guest El Psycho Diablo]

..I forgot one, and I can't believe it.

 

Hayabusa.

[Guest saturnmark4life]

yeah, it's funny that i don't automatically think of hayabusa as a cruiser.

[Guest The Metal Maniac]

Dynamite Kid (I hear he was better than Benoit during his prime)

 

Considering that Benoit modeled his entire style around the Dynamite Kid, including the snap suplex, the roids, and even the way he does a clothesline, yeah, I'd say so.

 

Hell, watch a Dynamite Kid match, then watch a Benoit match from Japan right afterwards. It's eerie.

 

And a division such as this would need:

 

The Amazing Red, and the Briscoe Brothers.

 

Jay Briscoe is amazing, for one year in the biz. The J-Driller rules the school, and the Half and Half suplex is death. And Mark may as well come with him; Their two-man plancha is amazing. Why not have a few tag teams amoung the cruisers?

 

As for Red, it's NOT hyperboyle. He IS amazing. One of his moves is a Shooting Star Press. Done while standing on the ring mat.

 

Think about that.

[Guest saturnmark4life]

i've heard nothing but good stuff about the briscoes. Can you describe the half n half suplex? Is the J driller tiger driver 91?

Think about that.

When did Benoit take roids, and does he still? I mean, he looks kinda freakish now, while in WCW he looked.... normal. I mean, I don't think it would really help his style of wrestling or anything. I mean it would probably hurt it.

Benoit was Definately on Roids when he wrestled in Japan.

I don't really rate Fleisch as a great cruiserweight, but he is one of the best flyers in the world.

[Guest Brian]

Benoit took roids between the early and mid-nineties most noticibly.

 

Naniwa's worthless now, and I hate to say it. The knees are killing him.

 

I'm not too high on the Briscoes yet. They have some really good spots, but they're still a bit to spotty right now.

 

A couple of months ago, I would have had TAKA, Funaki, Tajiri, anbd Hayashi in a Kaientai-like stable. their main opponents would have been Rey, Rios, Juvi, and Chavo; with the latter two prepping a heel turn after Rey finally takes the title. I'd dump Kidman if Torrie wasn't attached (because she's not leaving), because there are better who can fill his role. Like Daniels, who's probably the most polished cruiserweight on the indies, especially WWE-style wise with the high spots and good psychology and mat work. I like Lo Ki and all but I can't imagine him and Tajiri together, being that they both throw the kicks. Tanaka is awesome, but I wouldn't move him from where he was. I'm surprised they haven't re-approached Lynn yet. I like Noble and Hurricane's great without the gimmick.

[Guest Ravenbomb]

if they can be dead/crippled/retired whatever then add:

Owen Hart

Dynamite Kid

Brian Pillman

Dean Malenko
