This was the initial tournament that began the cruiserweight division. WCW kept referencing a fictional tournament in Japan taking place to crown the first champ, when in reality it was just Ohtani rematching Benoit from the Super Juniors tournament.

Ohtani won, was granted the belt, then lost it to Malenko on worldwide in what was a 6 minute match about a week later then never showed up on WCW Television ever again.

WCW stuck with the whole tournament angle, so I guess technically this is what they are referencing, considering in the bout that debuted the cruiser title Benoit put his Super Juniors title on the win as well.
