International Light Heavyweight Championship


The International Light Heavyweight Championship was a professional wrestling championship promoted by Último Dragón's Toryumon 2000 Project promotion. Title matches were fought under "Lucha Libre Classica" rules.

History

On January 23, 2002, at Desembarcamiento II, Toryumon President Último Dragón announced the T2P Strongest Merit Assessment League, a 12-man round-robin tournament that would crown the first International Light Heavyweight Champion. The tournament opened on February 17 at a Toryumon Mexico show, then resumed in T2P between February 27 and March 3. Milano Collection A. T. defeated Masato Yoshino in the final to win the tournament and become the inaugural champion.
T2P closed a month after Cima won the title, so Cima took the title to Toryumon Japan but never defended it. The title was later abandoned when Cima won the Último Dragón Gym Championship.

Strongest Merit Assessment League

The tournament featured 12 participants divided into four blocks of three. In Block B, Shuji Kondo and Toru Owashi finished tied at 3 points, while in Block C, all three participants finished tied at 2 points. Kondo won a playoff match against Owashi, and Anthony W. Mori defeated Stevie "brother" Tsujimoto and Takayuki Yagi in a three-way playoff match to qualify to the semifinals.
