I think cruiserweight wrestling features little to zero psychology. Guys throw their weight around, but I would much more prefer it if a guy like Funaki through his weight into an opponent's leg, rather than just taking him down with it. Cruiserweight wrestling could be telling more of a story than it is.

BTW, is it just me, or does Jericho not use much psychology in his matches (as a face anyway). It seems every one of his matches is him getting dominated, then he follows through with moves that don't do accumalating damage to a body part. Y2J could do a Lionsault to the back occasionally, and maybe contorl a match or two and finish with an extremely painful Walls of Jericho hold that could make people in attendence cringe. The only thing I can see with Chris Jericho's moveset, is how all the moves one after the other to different body parts hurt the opponent all over, make them less suspecting for the next attack, and eventually make them so worn down, they can't kick out of the Lionsault or escape the Walls of Jericho.
Jericho runs a different game than Beniot, and Jericho knows how to tell a story. He isn't methodical, Jericho is wrestles a match where he just keeps hitting them from all angle and rarely targets one body part. And Jericho uselly fights bigger guys, so he uses his speed to. So Jericho against say Batista, would have Jericho jumping all over the ring, running circles around Batista, trying to wear the big man down. Then bomb, Lionsualt, and pin.

Either that, or I'm defending a spotfest wrestler.
