16. Bobby Eaton vs. Dusty Rhodes vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Juventud Guerrera

This one could get ugly! The underrated Bobby Eaton zaps into this match looking to pull off an upset against the more famed wrestler and booker, The American Dream, Dusty Rhodes, as well as super cruiserweights Rey Mysterio and Juventud Guerrera who achieved fame through matches with one another as well as with the other spectacular performers in the cruiserweight division! A tough battle, this one is.

I'll have to go for Dusty Rhodes. The guy is an icon and could go far, but I don't see him winning it all.

Here's how I look at this one. Mysterio is out, because for all the good work he did, almost all of it was undone by the stupid decision to unmask him. Juvi was a serviceable worker, but I'd hardly consider him a GOAT. Dusty Rhodes was incredible at playing the fans, and he put on some stellar matches, plus he also came up with Wargames. That being said, his booking nearly ruined the company multiple times and he had a tendency to put himself over way too much. Bobby Eaton just happened to be the silent, workman wrestler who anchored perhaps the greatest tag team of all time and also put on some stellar solo matches with the likes of Ric Flair, Dustin Rhodes and Arn Anderson. It's close, but I'm going with Eaton here.

Bobby Eaton.

The American Dream is one of the most known wrestlers of all time, Rey is one of the most known cruiserweights of all time, Juvi is one of the most known mexican wrestlers of his generation and Bobby Eaton is a man I had to look on Wikipedia, to know him. Thanks to Fuji explanation I looked for Eaton on Wikipedia (at least to know something) and looking at his history I have to go with him.

I feel as if at least one crusierweight should make it through, but Dusty wins.

Re: WCW's GOAT Round 1: Bobby Eaton vs. Dusty Rhodes vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Juventud Gue

If Eaton could have ever achieved some single's success outside of a few one-off glimmers of hope, I'd have to vote for him, but I think the fact that he dwelled in the tag division crippled him from ever being impactful. Mysterio was one of the most spectacular things to watch in WCW, and his battles with Ultimo Dragon really put him over the top in my eyes. Discounting his time with The Filthy Animalz, I'm voting for Rey Rey, especially since he doesn't have any votes yet.
