The Cruiserweight division made me a wrestling fan. I mean I liked it before because I came in with people like Steamboat and the Road Warriors. The Cruiserweight division made me a fanatic though. It didn't matter what was going on in the world because it was put on hold the second I saw the Cruiserweight division. House on fire? I'll be out as soon as this La Parka and Psychosis match is over. Emergency surgery? Can't they wait to operate on me until this Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero match is done? It was just that good.

@@Bsfnelz20 If you don't trust me you can get the actual hour by hour ratings during that time, most people watched for the nWo. The nWo actually helped bring eyes to the stacked cruiser weight division. But it wasn't even close, wCw would routinely increase an extra 1 million viewers when the nWo was featured. Networks have access to all sorts of statistics that allow them to determine exactly when people are watching and when they are tuning out and they were never more tuned into those numbers than during the Monday night wars.

The cruiserweight division was hands down the main reason to watch WCW from 97-99. Not proud to admit this, but one of the moments I'd switch to RAW was when the Lucha Libre guys were on. At the time I just couldn't get past their gear/ that part of their style. Then I saw Liger perform ( felt the same about the Japanese gear too ), which led to watching Rey, Juventud, Psychosis, LaParka & so on....I was hooked! I knew Rey's work in depth from his ECW ( R.I.P. ) days. I think he pioneered the hurrincarrana on top of a car, but man. Unbelievable matches amongst all of this great talent. LaParka was kind of the Jackie Chan of the cruiserweights- he definitely stood out. Ultimo Dragon, Jericho, Eddie Guerrero ( R.I.P. ), Malenko & Saturn were my guys. Outstanding job covering this. The division defintitely deserves a part II. Disco was not a fave, but as you said- he put 100% into his character- much respect, like the HTM, & he was better than people give him credit for.

D Sadd can’t speak for Alex, never really saw him. Disco was fun, he could actually wrestle and didn’t rely purely upon his gimic, he could draw whatever he wanted from the crowd, had agility, was precise with his blows, could sell, his matches had a good flow of action and emotion, he knew how to tell the story of the match in the ring. He could go any distance without gassing out. He had a distinct look, and embraced the idea that wrestling is best when two people are out there to make each other look good.

ROCKSTAR JOJO RODRIGUEZ 150+ Wins and it was too early? Like Kevin Nash said If your whole gimmick is a Undefeated Streak, retire once you get beaten, also the NWO thing was dying down they could’ve just ended it with Nash Vs Hogan, winner gets the rights to the NWO. I don’t think Starrcade was the right time to end it, but just like originally Goldberg hype was done after that and then he got Injured, there was nothing you could do with Goldberg, cause he can’t Wrestle long Matches, but after his Streak is over, squash matches are just nothing, but one or two Cruiserweight’s should get a guaranteed push in 1999.

WCW Cruiserweight division was easily the most stacked division in wrestling history. The luchadores, even when jobbing for bigger opponents, absolutely carried every match they were in

This is such a trip down memory lane for me. I have been a fan of the cruiserweights of all brands but more into WCW showcase.. Please have a part 2 and 3 if you are able because these guys don't get enough eyes on them as they should have...

Great upload man!!! Finally recognizing the smaller division. Cruiser weight division was always my favorite. It's also home to the best in-ring technical high flying aerial mechanic wrestlers!!! Lots of athleticism is used in the cruiser weight division.I'm 5'8'' 175 lbs myself, 15%-16% bodyfat.

WCW had a great cruisers division. From major stars like Rey Mysterio, Dean Malenko, and Eddie Guerrero to underrated luchadors like LA Parka and El Dandy, the cruiserweights were the real highlight of 90s WCW

It wasn't your imagination. The Cruiserweight division holds up and has no competition past or present. It doesn't get any better than this.
