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.

You want story in a cruiserweight match? Watch Funaki's Japanese matches. Watch any Ultimo Dragon match. Watch any of Dean Malenko's WCW matches. Hell, just about any WCW cruiserweight matches involving less than 3 people.
