I’ve been going back through old WCW footage and it’s crazy how much talent was packed into that cruiserweight division. One match that really stands out is Rey Mysterio vs Psicosis during the WCW cruiserweight run.

What makes it special isn’t just the spots, it’s the pacing and chemistry. It felt like both guys were constantly pushing each other, but everything still had structure. Fast, creative, and somehow still believable in a way that a lot of modern high-flying matches struggle to balance.

Even now, it doesn’t feel old. It just feels like good wrestling.

It also makes me think about how stacked WCW’s cruiserweight division really was at its peak. They weren’t just doing high spots, they were telling stories at full speed.

It’s absolutely hilarious that Arn Anderson is announced as from Minnesota when he starts talking and has a southern accent. I get it’s because he’s an Anderson and Ole is also from Minnesota in kayfabe. What are some others that are ridiculous too?

Yesterday I watched WWE's Kliq Rules documentary on the anniversary of the curtain call. According to Hunter, Nash nearly backed out of leaving WWF at the last hour before his wife overrode him (for the 💰).

This had me wondering how things might've played out if only Hall came over to WCW as a singles wrestler. Would the nWo still happen with Hogan, Hall and Syxx (or Sting)?

I think Hall likely would've got a singles run with the WCW world title in a scenario where Nash didn't jump with him.
