WWE: 10 Greatest Cruiserwieghts Of All Time

10. X-Pac

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5FYBWu10cs Highly overrated, but was one of the few dudes on TV that could do a moonsault back in 1993. Originally, a one-hit wonder, X-Pac was able to latch onto the Kliq and ride their coattails to mid-card glory While WCW had pioneers like Brian Pillman, WWE had the 123 Kid who also helped lead the way for younger, smaller wrestlers of the lightweight ilk. His match against Bret Hart on an episode of Monday Night Raw in 1994 is perhaps the best match he's ever had. X-Pac also stands apart from his cruiserweight brethren for being the only one to ever be apart of the two of the biggest stables in wrestling history, during the height of the second wrestling boom. Was it a coincidence that he had real-life close personal friends in both the nWo and DX? Perhaps. But still you got to give the man credit for making one of the most notable organization jumps during the Attitude Era. He had many a great battle over the European title with Shane McMahon from then on and a decent tag team bromance run with Kane, but if X-Pac left his mark anywhere it was definitely in the hearts of many fans, who had such disdain towards him that they coined the term X-Pac heat. Nowadays, you can catch X-Pac live-tweeting during episodes of Raw.
