3.) AJ Styles*

Wasn't sure if I'd include AJ.  He's found success as a heavyweight wrestler, but his beginnings were in the WCW Cruiserweight division, in CZW's Junior Heavyweight division and the X Division. 

There's a couple people I'm gonna leave off, notably Jerry Lynn, Super Crazy and Jericho.  Love all three, but most people nowadays overlook Jericho's history in the Cruiserweight Division. 

Not sure if I'll add Dean Malenko, either.

who's Ruckus? I never heard of him

Quote from: Swordmaster1982 on April 05, 2012, 08:13:50 PM
I love classic real wrestling from 1987 back.

I was a kid way back then so I never saw anything live until maybe the 1990s, but I really appreciate the product back then which I saw eventually via DVDs and what nor

Ruckus is known for being in the companies Ring of Honor and Combat Zone Wrestling. Also competed in Japan and Mexico. Won several Junior Heavyweight, Light Heavyweight and Cruiserweight belts.

At one point was 300 pounds but was one of the best high flyers I've seen. He's now around 220 pounds.

And finally # 1) The Dynamite Kid (who was so incredibly good in his era, most people nowadays have no idea - sadly he tore his body to pieces to do so)

There's been so many great cruiserweights over the years...even top stars in the heavyweight division arguably at times qualified. Guys like CM Punk, Shawn Michaels, Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy,  Chris Benoit, Christian, Chris Jericho, Daniel Bryan and A.J. Styles all come to mind in this regard (heck even the legendary Danny Hodge was a junior heavyweight) and then there's some other great cruisers who deserve at least a mention including Paul London, Billy Kidman, Tajiri, Lance Storm, Jushin "Thunder" Liger, Psicosis, La Parka, Gregory "Hurricane" Helms, Chavo Guerrero Jr., Nunzio/Little Guido, Jamie Noble, Brian Kendrick, Low-Ki, The Amazing Red, Blitzkreig, Jerry Lynn to name but a few.

Great list Happy. All fine talents there. Obviously I was influenced a bit by the 1980s again with mine although I've heard guys like Chavo Guerrrero Sr. and Tatsumi Fujinami were tearing it up in the late 70s, early 80s too. I've got an idea for a new list. Why not a tribute of sorts to our favourite enhancement guys?

Honestly the draft seems pretty pointless nowadays with guys appearing on both shows, especially Raw.

Back to great and memorable enhancement guys:

Here's two memorable AWA regulars

Jase, I'd love to do a top ten 'enhancement' list.  But, I can't really think of many off the top of my head.  Although, here's a semi-list:

Brooklyn Brawler vs. Red Rooster

HHH vs. Brooklyn Brawler, TAKA Michinoku and Sho Funaki.
