Top 5 Lightweights
Junior Heavyweights, Lightweights, Cruiserweights, whatever you wanna call 'em. Name your top 5 all-time non-Heavyweight Wrestlers.
Here are mine:
1. Keiichi Yamada(Jushin Liger, Jushin "Thunder" Liger, Kishin Liger)- All-Time greatest, and one of my Top 5 wrestlers ever. The guy was a master of the mat and of the air. Brilliant mind and worker. 4 Years straight named best Technical Wrestler and best High Flying wrestler. Innovated the Shooting Star Press. Able to maintain excellent matches throughout his entire career.
2. Yoshihiro Asai(Ultimo Dragon, Tiger Dragon)- Look at my sig and you'll know he's a personal favorite of mine. The man held 10 titles at one point. He was truly an excellent High Flyer. Most common ring name Ultimo Dragon means Last Dragon in Spanish and he truly is the Last Dragon. He truly was an artist in the ring, and was by far one of the most entertaining wrestlers ever
3. Satoru Sayama(Tiger Mask, Super Tiger, Tiger King) The first Tiger Mask was the best Tiger Mask. Even though he only wrestled a few years the matches I saw were simply put phenomenal. Light on his feet and was a blur around the ring definitely a top Junior Heavyweight. Also the only person to simultaneously hold the NWA Junior Heavyweight Title and the WWF Lightweight Title at the same time.
4. Thomas Billington(Dynamite Kid) I don't know if anyone is athletic as Dynamite Kid was in the ring, and nor will I ever. To me aside from Liger, DK is the best pure wrestler on this list. He was tremendous in all aspects of ring work as well. His feud with Tiger Mask(Satoru Sayama) Was one of the best feuds ever.
5. Eddie Llanes(Eddie Guerrero, Black Tiger II) If you really need an explanation, watch him, please, just watch him.
Honorable Mention: Shinjiro Ohtani, Rey Misterio, Chris Benoit, Keiji Takayama, Masanori Murakawa, Dean Malenko, and Owen Hart
Yours? Agree/Disagree?

1. Rey Mysterio- He was the main reason I atarted watching wrestling for the past nine years. Just amazing to watch in the ring and is an amazing high-flyer.
2. Jushin Thunder Liger- This don't need much of an explaination. As what the Sultan said, Liger is an innovator in the Jr. Heavyweight Division and probably the best of all-time.
3. Eddie Guerrero- Nuff Said
4. Bryan Danielson- It can be argue that he is the greatest wrestler in the world today. His technical abilty is just superior and he can can pretty much do it all. He had a excellent string of matches throughout the years and he is still pretty young.
5. Takashi Sugiura- There's just something about this guy I absolutely enjoy. He can just juggle his speed with immense power and his intensity gets the crowd right behind him. He is just fucking awesome.
Honorable Mentions: Koji Kanemoto, Chris Benoit, Juventud Guerrera, Minoru, Satoru Sayama, Dean Malenko, KENTA, Naomichi Marufuji, Shuji Kondo, & Ultimo Dragon.

Benoit and Hart were LWs back in their early years.

Not in their prime so it's irrelevant.
I'm surprised I'm the only one that mentioned Shawn Michaels.

Dam, I was looking at something else while typing so putting Flair on there was an accident. But Hart and Benoit were both lightwieghts during thier careers, and at those points, were better than anyone that followed.
