10 Awesome WCW Moments You Forgot

10. Super Calo

Singing the praises of WCW's cruiserweight division is par for the course. Everyone loves to rave about the incredible matches the junior heavyweights put on, the thrilling displays of athleticism that opened up most WCW Monday Nitros and brought a whole new style of pro wrestling to the American mainstream. The division gave us Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Jericho, Juventud Guerrera, La Parka, Billy Kidman and plenty more, beloved wrestlers who inspired the current crop of heroes.

Those names get bandied about on a daily basis but one thrilling performer never seems to get his dues. Yes, Super Calo looked like a bit of a weirdo with his ubiquitous sunglasses and leather cap, but boy did this dude put his body on the line for the fans. He was goofy, he constantly landed on his head and he seemed to be moving a thousand miles a minute. Super Calo was ace.

The masked madman is best remembered for a flip dive that would see him end up in the third row, and for also being obliterated by a La Parka chairshot. He deserves a whole lot more than that.
