The Cageside Seats (CSS) Pro Wrestling Tournament continues today with a match-up pitting number four seed Chris Jericho against number 13 seed Rey Mysterio.
Jericho's career has spanned multiple decades where he came to fame first with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and later with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). He's known for shooting memorable angles with the likes of Dean Malenko, The Rock, Shawn Michaels and many more. As far as workrate, he's one of the very best.
Mysterio has spent his entire American career working uphill thanks to be so undersized. He absolutely tore it up with WCW as a cruiserweight (alongside Jericho), and even worked a few programs against the main event talent on the roster. It wasn't until later with WWE that he finally broke through and became a world champion as a beloved babyface who is popular with kids.
As stated, these two tore it up in WCW before doing the same in WWE. They've had many a memorable match together, including a notable date at Souled Out in 1998. Jericho won that match and the cruiserweight title. Will the same happen here?
