When you think of WCW cruiserweights who do you think of? Ive been on a mission on my PS4 recently to make my own WCW roster (Rey Mysterio took ages) but in regards to cruiserweights this is as far as I’ve got. I’m working on Ultimo Dragon but who were some of the lesser known 1997/1998 luchadors? Who else is there to add? Thanks  |

You can't have a WCW Cruiserweight roster without Liger, Pillman, Jericho, Eddie and Chavo. Oh! And Oklahoma and Prince "Fucking" Iaukea.

Eddie Guerrero
Chavo Guerrero
La Parka
Silver King
Super Calo
Lash LeRoux
Alex Wright
Blitzkrieg
Prince Iaukea
Lizmark Jr.
Lodi, I guess. I always considered Lodi a cruiserweight, lol
I'm positive there's many more, these are just the ones I can think of at the moment.

Great project and awesome suggestions! That was fun stuff to watch, usually shut off the show when the cruisers were done back in the day. Lash LaRoux! Holy shit, I totally forgot about that guy! Acting all Cajun and whatnot, with those gimmick “L” shaped ginger chops! What a character! I wonder if he ever made it into wrestlecrap back in the day, that gimmick was ass, but he wasn’t a bad wrestler. And Alex Wright! I just remember him ragdolling after about the seventh chain German in a row from Benoit back in the day. But this little gem will keep a place for him in my heart always! m.youtube.com/watch?v=wEEBUBjSWGg |

And I was today years old when I learned what the fuck was going on with his facial hair. I don't know how I never put that together on my own. :lol: I will always most fondly remembet Alex Wright for this: youtu.be/ZdrxTaMYVb8 |

Oh right, Jerry Lynn was in WCW for a short while, wasn't he. Wasn't sure if he fit the 97-99 time frame!

Wow. You couldn’t sell that DDT if you wanted to because you would likely have a busted neck! Arn (and Ole) were beasts back in the day! Yikes. |

I've been busy making Alex Wright, Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero, both attire and moveset accurate for 1997/1998. I'm at work so can't post the PS4 links just yet but it is not hard to find my Alex Wright if you search for his name on FirePro-w as its the only one that actually looks like him. Also he dances...a lot. Alex Wright [PS4] firepro-w.com/item/detail/51550 |
