No doubt he influenced a lot of North American wrestlers but Lucha Libre was around for a long time before the Dynamite Kid.

The weight restriction is just too restricting meaning that guys like Storm,Y2J & Matt Hardy are no longer viable contenders (yeah,yeah I know Matt did that whole weight loss thing). I preffered the old WWE light heavyweight title which also allowed the smaller "big" guys to compete. Guys like Jericho,Benoit,Eddie Guerrero,Christian etc can so easily fight in both light heavyweight & heavyweight divisions without looking out of place! This is why the X-Division in NWA is probably better than the WWE cruiser division! A guy like Rey Rey is only as good as the guys he is competing against,and we have seen some great matches with him up against non cruisers! Tajiri is not a good competitor so I`m not expecting much from his match against Rey Rey at No Mercy!

Being on Velocity doesnt mean you are signed to a WWE contract,Jimmy Yang was on Velocity or Heat a few weeks back but he has only just signed an actual WWE contract.......dont fergit they use OVW talent on the junior WWE shows!
