End of the J-Crown

editar

The J-Crown was defended for just over a year. When Jushin Liger was champion, he ended up losing the International Junior Heavyweight Championship to Yuji Yasuraoka on June 6, 1997 in Tokio, Japón. However, Liger continued to defend the J-Crown with seven titles instead of eight.

Five months later, as the World Wrestling Federation was getting ready to introduce a new Light Heavyweight title, they became aware that the original Light Heavyweight Championship belt was no longer in their possession. (The physical belt had long since been used in New Japan Pro Wrestling for one of their titles.) WWF demanded that Shinjiro Otani, the current J-Crown Holder, return the belt to them immediately. He did so on October 5, 1997. On the same day, he also vacated all of the remaining titles, except for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship, effectively ending the J-Crown.
