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.

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.

One of my fondest memories of WCW wrestling was the Best of 7 series between Booker T and Chris Benoit. That was an intense competition for younger me! Also, favorite cruiserweights for me were: Dean Malenko Chris Jericho Ultimo Dragon Chris Benoit Perry Saturn There was something about the competitiveness in the WCW cruiser weight division that was great. You had high flyers, submission experts and more “all arounders.” I loved that era.
