Okay, now I promised Keith some matches that featured crazy lucha-moves and cool costumes, so don't post any strong-style matches here (strong-style is lame anyway). Basically, if anybody has an luchadore/cruiserweight matches that you think Keith or anybody else (including myself; I haven't seen it all) would enjoy watching, go ahead and post them here! I'll start with my aforementioned gift:
Ultimo Dragon vs. Rey Mysterio Jr. (WCW; J-Cup Tournament Final, 1996)
Some info on the athletes:
Ultimo Dragon- (real name Yoshihiro Asai) is a Japanese puroresu legend, famous for his diverse skills including matwork, striking, and aerial maneuvers. He often invents new moves (sometimes during matches), including the Asai Moonsault (quebrada from ring apron, second rope, to outside), the Corkscrew Dragonsault, the Dragonsteiner (180 Hurricanrana), and the Asai DDT in his later WWE days (shoulder lift to backflipping reverse DDT). He used to go by the gimmick of being the last student of Bruce Lee, which is false, but he does have a good base in martial arts techniques and has just about the best kicks in the business (except for maybe Koji Kanemoto). He's in the pink in this match.
Rey Mysterio Jr.- ("Mystery King Jr." - real name Oscar Gutierezz Rubio) Rey is one of the younger luchadores from Mexico to be imported here and make it big. His peers include Juventud Guerrera, Chavo Guerrero Jr., Eddie Guerrero, El Dandy, Damien, Ciclope', and Psychosis. He is one crazy little guy, and is probably the most popular masked wrestler in the US. Sometimes I seriously think he's going to kill himself, but he's been pretty lucky about not landing on his head for the most part. :eplus2: He's the small guy wearing the pseudo-Spiderman ring gear.

There was a Nitro match between Mysterio and Dean Malenko in late '99 that fuckin' killed it. The ending was awesome too. It was during the whole "Filthy Animals/Revolution" feud. No outside interference, just a straight up technical match.
