15. Jericho Wins The Cruiserweight Title
The story throughout the Misterio and Jericho match was the knee injury of the masked superstar. Rey did a great job throughout the match of selling how hurt he was as he valiantly tried to save his championship. In a fantastic finishing sequence, Misterio goes up top to do a frankensteiner from the second rope, and as he looks to complete the move, Jericho blocks him in mid-air and turns it into a Lion Tamer. Rey couldn't take any more pain and submitted, allowing Jericho to lift Cruiswerweight gold. The slow build of Jericho's heel turn is a great piece of wrestling booking that any fan should go back and watch play out on the Network. Being the jerk that he is, Y2J, of course, attacked Misterio post-match and busted up his knee. Jerk.
