Guest ManKinnd Report post Posted June 14, 2003 I'd say Rey is the best cruiserweight ever. Did I miss all the ***** matches that Noble had to put him above this masked spot machine? If they gave Noble time to put on ***** matches, instead of having him job every week to Rikishi, then you would know why Noble is better then the "masked spot machine". So we haven't seen it yet. In that case, you're assuming that he could pull out ***** matches given time? I see it this way: A guy like Chuck Palumbo could be the most talented wrestler to ever step foot in a ring. Maybe he's just SEVERLY unmotivated and he doesn't get good opponents, etc. If we never see him be what he can, then can we really in good concious call him the best?

Guest Nightscrawler Report post Posted June 14, 2003 The best crusier has to be Rey. To me, Knoble is the better worker, but Rey has put on better matches, and is better suited in the crusierwieght division. Third would go to Tajiri. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Monday Night Jericho Report post Posted June 14, 2003 Actually FYI Knoble has had some superb matches in the HWA and maybe the odd WCW match. I wouldn't say he could acheive ***** but that has only been acheived about 10-15 times at most. I doubt that anyone in the WWE could have one. I remember him having a damn good TV match against Tajiri a few months back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Raven_Effect01 Report post Posted June 14, 2003 the same as Ultimo when he debuts, some are basically dubbing him the masked copy of Tajiri basically because he will probably be stripped of 80% of his moveset It's pretty sad when WWE won't even let the inventor of the Asai Moonsault use it. But then again, when's the last time we've seen a cruiserweight use an Asai Moonsault in WWE? I don't think the Asai Moonsault and Jericho's Lionsault are the same either.

I think they'll let him use it. They've got clips of him doing it in those promo videos. They're basically plugging it as his main signature move. Now la majistral, that's a different story. I don't know if that one will really get over as a finisher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right, cause isn't a Asai Moonsault a moonsault from the top turnbuckle like the one Muta use to do back in the NWA? Jericho's Lionsault I always thought was a springboard moonsault.

No. An Asai Moonsault is a Lionsault from the apron to the outside of the ring. It's off the second rope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh ok and I guess the one from the top turnbuckle is a just a plain old moonsault right. I get all these moonsaults confused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
