Becky Lynch: I have two belts Último Dragón: bitch please

@mcj88 4 года назад

3:14 - Fun fact about the J-Crown: among the titles it represented was the *WWF Light-Heavyweight Championship,* which had been introduced by the WWF in 1981 for use by various promotions in Mexico and Japan. In fact that's why the J-Crown was vacated: the WWF recalled the title to finally use in their own promotion in 1997. What this means is that when he was holder of the J-Crown Ultimo Dragon represented & even _defended_ a WWF-branded championship among its other titles on _WCW television in the middle of the Monday Night Wars,_ and *neither company noticed.*

WCW at one time had by far the superior roster with big names like Hogan, Piper, Flair, Sting; technical geniuses like Benoit and Malenko; monsters like Giant and Meng; rising stars like Jericho, Booker, Goldberg and Guerrero; the nWo's and Flock; AND amazing high flyers like Rey, Chavo, Kidman, Ultimo Dragon and Psychosis. That's one hell of a roster.

See I’ll always credit ECW for bringing In Cruiserweight wrestlers, however there’s absolutely no question that WCW captured what the Cruiserweight Division should be

@sethallen6945 4 года назад

Ecw and wcw equally did great things with the lightweight divisions. WWE killed each of those peoples careers with maybe a handful of exceptions.

@superrobz 4 года назад

Seth Allen but unfortunately ECW didn’t have a Cruiserweight division they just had the matches. If they did and a title I guarantee that would have been an instant success

@sethallen6945 4 года назад

Oh I agree, but they definitely got great exposure.

@anonamatron 4 года назад

WCW didn't give a shit about them though, they were kind of just there... That was always one of my favorite parts of Nitro though, watching Psicosis and La Parka and all those awesome guys.

The Vertabreaker is probably the greatest finisher of all time imo

@achimsinn7782 4 года назад

I never really liked it. It looked good once it hit, but there was just way too much setup beforehand. I always thought of it as unrealistic and somewhat of an overkill (in kayfabe) to do on an opponent who needs to be out standing in order to not break out of that long sequence of preparation.

@jetblack99 4 года назад

It looks like a million bucks, but it's just too damn dangerous to use as a regular finisher. You're rolling the dice with somebody's career and/or life every time. WWE was right to ban it.

@gst013 4 года назад

It looks cool, but it's one of those moves (like the burning hammer) that's always a tiny mistake away from hurting someone really badly.

@Hawkster52 4 года назад

The reason Otani won the Crusierweight championship is because WCW had organized an elaborate tournament for the belt but completely lost the plot on organizing it. So they threw it to NJPW to try and save it who opted (or demanded) that the first champion be one of their own. And 96 Liger wasn't going to try and save another WCW junior title himself so Otani got the bill.

@jetblack99 4 года назад

Rey Mysterio has had a storied career, and is rightly praised for his matches even today. But in my opinion he was never the same after his first big WCW knee injury. When he first arrived he was quickly dubbed "The Human Highlight Reel" because he displayed a level of athleticism and acrobatic skill that just took your breath away every time he got in the ring. It was magic. After the injury and rehab he came back with the same fire, but he definitely had lost a step. It's a tribute to him that he's still putting on great matches a quarter century after such a devastating injury.
