History edit

Not long after its creation in 1995, the title made its way to Michinoku Pro Wrestling where it stayed until Jushin Thunder Liger took it to New Japan Pro-Wrestling and combined it with seven other junior heavyweight titles to create the J-Crown. After the J-Crown was disbanded, the title resurfaced in England for a short time. After a tour of England, Tiger Mask took the title back to Japan, where it returned to Michinoku Pro then made its way to Toryumon, where it was last defended before being deactivated.
