10 Wrestling Matches You Won't Believe Happened In 2015

10. Ultimo Dragon Vs. Juventud Guerrera (King Of Indies, March 28)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYjDduc07Ig WCW's cruiserweight division may have been dead and gone for fourteen years, but it's clearly not forgotten. The division's pioneers helped usher high-flying, internationally-influenced wrestling styles into the American mainstream, and those effects are still felt today - especially on the U.S. independent scene, where a premium is often put on jaw-dropping athleticism and acrobatic ability. As such, when the King of Indies 2015 tournament took place earlier this year in Santa Clara, event organizers decided to add a special attraction bout to the second night's show, paying tribute to two of those innovators, Ultimo Dragon and Juventud Guerrera. While both men may not have been able to deliver the highlight reel moments they did in their prime, they were still able to go - after all, Guerrera is only 41, while Dragon has been working pretty much full-time since his departure from WWE in 2004. Dragon's old WCW manager, Sonny Onoo, got involved, as well, and in the end, the former J-Crown champion put The Juice away with the Asai DDT.
