The final former Crusierweight Champion on this list, Chris Jericho faced off with Ric Flair on a number of occasions both in WCW and WWE. Actually, they only went one-on-one once in WCW, with Flair coming out on top on the very first episode of WCW Thunder.

Flair would win their second meeting at SummerSlam 2002, before Jericho finally picked up a W against Naitch at Unforgiven 2002. This was their first truly high stakes match too, as Jericho's Intercontinental Championship was on the line. Jericho picked up the win in fairly shady circumstances, Flair tapping out to the Walls of Jericho.

Billed at 224lbs, Jericho is one of the most successful cruiserweights of all time and one of three on this list to main event WrestleMania.
