10 Best Wrestling Matches Involving WWE's Cruiserweight Classic Participants

6. Rich Swann & Ricochet Vs. Will Ospreay & Paul Robinson (RPW High Stakes 2014)

Standing at just 5’6”, the charismatic Rich Swann is one of the smallest men in the tournament, and at 25, one of the youngest. His NXT appearances have been limited thus far, but he brings a big resumé of explosive, athletic matches with him, particularly as a tag team wrestler.

As you might guess from the participants, this is a pure popcorn match. Psychology? Nah, you’ve come to the wrong place mate. Opening with a brief comedy phase before exploding into a series of frankly insane action, this one had the crowd whipped into an uncontrollable frenzy by the time the bell rang.

Some of the best traditional Cruiserweight action on this list.
