I feel like there’s scenarios where Madusa and Jackie could have worked as champions
But the booking just wasn’t there.
Agree. Jackie beating up the cruiserweights could have been decent for a while at least.
Lest we forget, Madusa's German was a thing of beauty.
And she drove a fuckin monster truck afterwards.
Fun Fact: The tournaments to crown the first Cruiserweight Champion was mentioned alot on WCW Nitro in the early days of its existance. There was no graphic or brackets for it, just random matches being called tournaments matches, even if both wrestlers had lost other "tournament" matches. Mr. JL was in about 4 of them.
Bonus: When all of these "tournament" matches was happening, the first champ had already been crowned.
Nooooooo really?
Do the WCW TV title next
Yes!
Can't wait to see where the Trashcan Jim Duggin pulled that belt from goes on the list.
@@theziggystar670 Blame Scott hall
Mysterio/malenko/jericho/Kidman/eddie Guerrero is the goats of the cruiserweight division
We need every Adam ranked worst to best
2:37 Jim Cornette to Adam: I can make that happen if you want.
Neah Broo.... Jim Cornette is Afraid of Vince Russo bro, I mean, bro.... C'mon 😏
Russo had a restraining order against Jim 😂 he (like TK) feared for his life.
Love these lists!! Thanks for your work Adam
Gifted Glen Gilberti... how is he gifted?
XD
A Wild Slapnuts appears lol
He do the j o b for the h a w k
And then further down the list we have... *groan* Chavo... Guerrero...
Only the Hawk knows. 😂
Men of culture i see
Taka Michinoku. "If WWF was about talent, Taka would be WWF champion"
I think they've specifically looked at the cruiserweight title, not light-heavyweight
@@davidjsaul yeah I noticed that after I posted the comment but still, Taka was excellent so I left it there
@@ollieduracell absolutely, loved his finishing move too!
@@davidjsaul yeah the driver was sick!
It's an absolute crime that Jimmy Wang Yang was never Cruiserweight champion
Hornswoggle ran into the ring right before the bell rang, so by the rules he was a legal participant in the match.
Kidman’s “white vest” is what I believe is called a wife beater…
The more you know!?!?!?
Not in 2024 apparently
Chavo above Chris and Kidman is crazy.
Do every commentator ranked
Excellent review video
Ultimo dragon, the real belt collector. Probably one of my favorite cruiserweights in wcw. Was disappointed in his bullshit run in wwe smh.
Ultimato Dragon should be in the top 10. He was a staple of the WCW Cruiserweight Division when it was at its absolute best and he was a major reason why. Had he not gotten hurt, I fully believe he’d be as revered as Mysterio, Malkeno, Eddie Guerrero, etc
@@paulbruno4894 yeah injuries were unfortunate smh. His matches with liger, Guerrero, Jericho, mysterio, malenko, in njpw(j crown and best of the super juniors) were classics. Even won the TV title. And his kick combo was so smooth. Always enjoyed playing as him in wcw/nwo revenge too.
I don't even remember him in WWE. I really liked him in WCW though.
I saw the thumbnail and new right away Oklahoma and Hornswoggle would be taking up the bottom slots, lol. I was rooting for Kidman personally (even though his shooting star press wasn't always great, and I'm satisfied that he wound up in the top ten.
The Buzzsaw is basically the Japanese William Regal in terms of work rate and being underrated.
😄👍
Thank For the Ranking Video And Happy Easter Day 🥚🎨🖌️🖼️🐇🌟🥇🏆
I remember the final load to Matt's attempt at the cruiserweight belt where he made weight by shedding his sweat soaked jock to get that final pound below the heavyweight/cruiserweight line
Babe wake up, Adam put up another championship ranking!!
I’ve been waiting for this video for a long time. Glad it’s finally here
Random fact: Último Dragón was holding a WWF championship when he appeared with the J crown on Nitro. The title appeared on the show. It was the Light Heavyweight title before it was returned to them and won by Taka
Love you guys! Thanks
Great idea with this one bro 💯...
Should do an updated wwe championship after wrestlemania
I’ve been waiting for this videos for a long time YES
Just finished work, this is what we like to see
Can I just say that "Above Average" wums up the entirety of Mike Sanders' career? "Hey, everyone! I'm Mike Sanders, and I'm definitely not mid!"
dude is 5.5/10. Just above avarage
Absolute truth about Tajari man, that dude could work with fucking anyone and put on bangerz!!!
Perfect list, I agree with every number.
"Das ist gut" there you got me as a german!
Das war sehr gut!🤣😂🤣😂👍
Do the X division title next
Been waiting for this one
Shane/Hurricane/Gregory Helms had three different titles reigns with three different names. Impressive
Crazy that chris Benoit never won the cruiser weight belt. He was one of the greatest cruiser weights to ever get in that ring
I'd like to see another list ranking of "From Worst To Best" of Every TNA/Impact Wrestling World Tag Team Champions as well as Every TNA/Impact Wrestling X-Division Champion. Please & thank you.
You should do “every pro wrestling match ever ranked from worst to best”
It's crazy to think, the cruiserweight in wrestling are the middleweight & up weight divisions in The UFC.
A middleweight in ufc will step in the ring with a body of light heavyweight
Why is that crazy
@Tylar122 because 205 is small in the WWE and it's the second biggest weight class in MMA.
@@agentorange1156 it’s the second biggest weightclass in the ufc, not mma some promotions have a 265+ division but they’re to slow to actually put on a fight anyone cares to watch.
@Tylar122 I know, I am just saying how in WWE it's considered small but like no one would ever look at Jon Jones or Anthony rumble Johnson and consider them small people.
Great list for my ride home
Awesome 😎👍
One caveat to hornswoggle, I believe he was entered into the match officially because he was in the ring when the bell rang and then hid under the ring for the rest of the match
This feels like the most obvious number one of any of these lists. Seeing howmall over this list he is itnreally is a crime Chavo Jr. And Chavo Classic aren't in the WWE Hall Of Fame.
It says something about Vince Russo when David Arquette & Hornswaggle are *not* the worst WCW World Heavyweight Champion & Cruiserweight Champion respectively.
11:24 "Lance Sto-Mike Sanders"? Whoever edited this is getting fined lmao
He says "Lance Storm like Sanders"
Next up: Ranking every Light Heavyweight champ
❤ Lance Storm
One of the best to ever do it
I know that this is random for this, but I always think about this when I hear about Russo's booking of the women, "How the hell did this man find someone to marry him!? Let alone have kids with him!?" I feel bad for the poor woman.
The Penny Lane remix (Lenny Lane) made this video 5*. Well done lad.
We need Every TNA X-Division Champion ranked from worst to best
Still feel bad for Lance Storm. Deserved so much more
I miss the Cruiserweight Division
I don't think funki was bad champ
How long did they keep using the wcw version of the title on wwf tv till it was changed to a wwe version?
I would personally love to see either every NXT North American champion, NXT Tag Team champion or an updated NXT Champion ranked from worst to best.
Slight error there, Pacitti. When Matt Hardy won the WWE Cruiserweight Championship, the weight limit was 220lbs, which Hardy just reached for his match and title win.
Also, Jimmy Wang Yang should've won the belt in 2007.
Y’all did Swaggle dirty on this one.
Probably wouldve had helms at number one, personally. But it was a great list and ranking.
This list was making me angry but also made me laugh. Not because of Cultaholic but because of what could've been
We all know Vickie Guerrero had her knockers back in the day, but... the rest of the pun writes itself at 3:37.
Billy Kidman should've been in the top 5 but #6 is close enough. He's my favorite Cruiserweight 😊
Matt Hardy was my favorite Cruiserweight Champion ever. His run was legendary!
Prince’s music was distributed by Warner Bros. I’m more surprised about DDP’s music which is a clear rip off of Nirvana not being yanked.
Rank every world title reign in the ruthless agression
If you can do a ranking
Of the cruiserweight title from 2016 to 2021 since u didn't do it in this video
Gregory Helms was the greatest wwe cruiserweight champion post WCW. he and Matt Hardy put the division back on the map before the buried them all and put the belt on hornswoggle
I was damn near certain Hornswoggle would be last, Good god how wrong and depressed i now am having blotted any remembrance of Oklahoma from my memory
I looked up if this video existed recently
I manifested this video 😂
The gifted glen gilberty how was he gifted? 😂
Marky d comes to mind
Blitzkrieg gets a mention!
The 2016 title.... I totally forgot about that... what happened to it? lol
Billy Kidman ❤
"AKME" 😂😂😂😂😂 I don't remember that
Chavo vs. Shane Helms probably would have been a good match
The WCW Cruiserweights had some of the best matches
Cultaholic, chill on the video lengths.
Candido was dope in ecw
Chris Jericho for me, even though he seems to have gone a bit crazy in his middle age.
WTF how many championships had Ultimo Dragon there?
I mean, whole I agree with the sentiment, Rey Mysterio is a "Jr". So technically there is another "Rey Mysterio"! 😅
Jamie Noble!
Accurate at #1
Justice for Swoggle!!!
Vince Mcmahon was just not interested in smaller wrestlers except as one offs. The cruiser weights never got their due. You want great matches with smaller wrestlers, you have to look at NJPW or AEW. You might get a few good gems in WWE's library... but it's rare.
And yeah, Matt losing in front of his family is a Vince classic. He loves to build up the drama then destroy hope, that cartoon villain that he is.
Yet some of the WWE cruiserweight reigns like Shane Helms are still better than the ones Vince Russo handled and booked. I hate Vince McMahon but you dead wrong.
Fab!
You cant hate ol glenn, he's gifted dont you know??
Every NWA Champion ranked?
6:44
How is Disco Inferno not in the bottom 5?!
If Hornswoggle is bottom of the list, I'm bailing Dude
Or maybe I won't Brother.... 😆
1:35.... Well Bawh GAWD..... Guess I'm sticking around
I disagree with the placement of a few wrestlers. That being said, I wish people talked about Kidman's run more.
Hell yeah rey mysterio
Before seeing this video, I was expecting Hornswaggle to be the worst cruiserweight champion. Leave it to Vince Russo to prove me wrong.
Can you do every Xdvison champion ranked from worst to best?
Justice for swoggel!!
Every NXT Woman Champion next
Gillberg number 1
Rey Mysterio 👑🏆
The Best Cruiserweight Champion of All Time 💪
Number five: ARMBAR
