Jonathon 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2003 I've been out of the wrestling loop for about a year now, and I'm just starting to watch again, and i've noticed that we got a couple of new-er guys in the mix. So, in you're opinion, who's the best right now in terms of variety of moves, quickness, bump-a-bility, and consistency? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2003 Mysterio and Knoble, hands-down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PsychoDriver 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2003 Rey or Paul London Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steviekick 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2003 Although I've never seen them in a non-WWE setting, the majority of the people here are very high on Paul London and Spanky. My pick would be Mysterio. Ultimo Dragon would be, but for whatever reason (whether they tell him he has to wrestle a limited style or his workrate changed since his return) he's not hte same.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2003 Rey I would say at the moment. But it's hard to say cause what exactly IS a cruiserweight? Are we talking the WCW definition? Cause if we go with the WCW definition then you have Jericho and Eddie and Chavo and a whole new list. If we go by WWE standards, then I'd say Rey Jr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ligerbomb03 Report post Posted December 11, 2003 ULTIMO DRAGON None of the other cruiserweights are anywhere near him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steviekick 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2003 I agree with you, but Ultimo's presentation as of late hasn't been that amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Monday Night Jericho Report post Posted December 11, 2003 If this were Ultimo of '96 he'd probably be better than anyone in the world right now, but he isn't due to his injury and hasn't been given a chance to show what he can do. I'd probably go with Knoble myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jimbo Report post Posted December 11, 2003 Yeah, sorta hard to give Ultimo the nod when he's in 3 minute tag matches every week..:-/ I think Noble is the best, he's one of the most consistent performers in the WWE, granted, he can't fly, and he isn't that technical, but he's still able to put on quick, solid matches each week. And, the deal with Nidia doesn't take away from his matches usually, like most other storylines the WWE has now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2003 Misterio. He was better than Dragon in 1996, and he's easily better than Dragon now. Misterio is one of the Fab Four. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2003 Raw has RVD, Jericho, Xian, Hurricane, Matt Hardy all of which are cruiserweights on Raw. I think Jericho is the best of the bunch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2003 Noble really hasn't entertained me in ring for quite some time now. I'd say the best is Rey, followed by London and then Spanky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Monday Night Jericho Report post Posted December 11, 2003 Misterio. He was better than Dragon in 1996, and he's easily better than Dragon now Could you mind going into this in a bit more detail? I'm by no means slagging Misterio when I say this but he was never as good as Dragon overrall. He was superior in the air, but he din't work nearly as smart as Ultmo.

Guest Vitamin EC Report post Posted December 11, 2003 If we're including Jericho, then the number one crusierweight is Eddie Guerrero. ...but we shouldn't be. So the best crusierweight is Rey Mysterio, followed by Noble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ligerbomb03 Report post Posted December 11, 2003 If you are including Jericho and Eddie, then the best cruiserweight would be Chris Benoit. I am still standing by my earlier vote for Ultimo Dragon. I don't care if he's in three minute matches on Velocity... he is and always will be the greatest cruiserweight WWE has seen in a long time.... regardless of whether he is used properly or not.

KTID 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2003 Dragon is not the same wrestler he was in his peak (pre-1996). *RIGHT NOW* the best are Rey, Noble, London Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ligerbomb03 Report post Posted December 11, 2003 We could argue back and forth about this until the friggin cows come home and still not reach an agreement. You all have your opinions and I have mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ligerbomb03 Report post Posted December 12, 2003 Tajiri is definitely underrated. But I can help but think of Great Muta when I see Tajiri wrestling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Mandarin 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2003 I don't know, they're all equally good. As of now, though, it would be Rey Mysterio. I like where Jamie Knoble's character is going, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HollywoodSpikeJenkins 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2003 Every cruiser on the roster is very talented and to pick one would be very hard. Rey Jr. Noble Spanky London Tajiri Nunzio Funaki Chavo Ultimo So many of them, and they are all good. If this was the indys, or WCW, then it would be a toss up, but since they've all been WWE-ized, Rey Jr. or Spanky. They are the only two who have used moves that actual wow the crowd, and even that is starting to come down on Rey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheHulkster Report post Posted December 12, 2003 Taijiri doesn't seem to be getting a lot of love. I haven't seen the guy have a bad match in a long time. His charisma outshines everyone else in the division with the exception of Mysterio. I was really pumped for UD when he came in, but hasn't exactly been as impressive as he was pre-injury. Anyway, my vote goes to Tajiri. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EdwardKnoxII 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2003 For me it's Rey Jr. and Taijiri. And for the guys that saying Jericho, Benoit, Eddie are cruiserweight. Be real guys when was the last time those guys wrestled in the CW divison let alone were treated like ones? Most people consider them heavyweights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Besus Report post Posted December 12, 2003 If you are including Jericho and Eddie, then the best cruiserweight would be Chris Benoit. How you figure that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notJames 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2003 Tajiri. None of them have the personality or the presentation that he has, except for maybe Rey. Face or heel, he gets nice reactions from the crowds. Great skills to boot. And who cares if he's got the "Muta" mist thing going. Crazy Japanese wrestlers have been doing that since the 70s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Peter_Griffin Report post Posted December 12, 2003 Paul London is my fave, although I haven't seen a recent Ultimo Dragon that goes more than 5 minutes. Tajiri and Rey Mysterio come close for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ligerbomb03 Report post Posted December 12, 2003 Hey, that comment about Muta was meant as a joke. I am a really big fan of Tajiri anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
