Just the entrances and finish. Ultimo has the 8 belts from the JCrown, along with the WCW cruiserweight title. A **** match in the WON, but not particularly heated or special, so we clipped it. I like Liger in the gold outfit. Liger wins the match and takes the JCrown as a result, and he seems to have gotten a fat lip at some point in the match.

Liger immediately makes Jericho look worse with a swank entrance with streamers and a creepy mask. Ultimo one ups him by having 8 women in one pieces bring out a belt each. I feel like this could have been in full on a lesser year. Clips we got looked pretty good even if again the crowd was tepid. Finisher Liger uses here is pretty sweet with a screwdriver type suplex. Liger winning the J Crown feels right.

Another edited match! Dragon spiked Liger on that top rope hurricarana. Dragon almost gets rolled up by his on cradle move. Running powerbombs for everyone. The brainbuster finished looked sick so I had to rewatch. Not for the best as Dragon actually went face first into Liger's crotch. Liger should have sold that.

This looked much better than the last time these two faced off in a Dome, but still nothing blowaway. Dragon is possibly the coolest he's ever been during his entrance--even Ric Flair never got an intro like that. Liger busts out a Steiner Screwdriver to put Dragon away. Jushin not only wins all the belts, he apparently wins the girls, too.

Golden Liger is the best. The creepy mask during the intro was pretty great too. But Ultimo coming out with 8 models, each carrying a different belt was just, well, the ultimate entrance. Really good match which suffered from a lack of heat. Liger was still coming back from a brain surgery, so cut him some slack as far as maybe not being as crisp as he could have. Not as good as the JCup match in 95 but some nice call backs to the J*Crown quick match with Liger himself trying La Majistral to win at one point. Junior match at the Dome show never translate the best anyway, this is underrated (well, maybe not in the Observer, not sure I'd have gone ****).
