Finally, you must be thinking, a proper match that lasted longer than five minutes. Not so fast, because Juventud Guerrera vs. Nunzio went a total of 3 minutes and 21 seconds. It was taped for SmackDown in Sheffield exactly one week after the Italian-American had won the Cruiserweight Title on a house show in Rome.

When people complain about Cruiserweights today, they should take a look at this. The Cruiser division was a lower card nuisance to creative, or at least that's how it came across in '05. Of the seven title changes that year, only three took place on pay-per-view, meaning this Juventud win was another excuse to give the UK fans something "special".

It wasn't special, but Juventud and Nunzio did their best with the short time limit. Guerrera's title run also lasted 23 days, so it's the longest so far. Sadly for the Mexicool member, this title change was immediately forgotten.
