Main Event

WWA World Light Heavyweight Championship

Naomichi Marfuji (Champion) Vs. Jushin Thunder Liger

Liger came at and put on a hell of a match. Jushin used a belly to back suplex, german suplex, a gut wrench suplex and a belly to belly suplex. He also used a rolling wheel kick, senton bomb, Shotei, a surfboard, and a fisherman buster. However Marfuji was the champion for a reason abd used a arm trap dragon screw, front flip neck breaker, and a front flip snap mare driver. Marufuji wanted to retain his gold so he used a frong splash, slingshot elbow drop, and a Tiger Flawsion for a close fall. Liger used a frankensteiner, spine buster, a Liger Suplex, and a Liger Bomb for two close falls but both men were just giving it their all and wrestled to a 30 minute time limit. Both men shook hands and Chono said they would continue at the next NJPW Live Event this time in a 60 minute match up to settle the score!!! The crowd was excited for the night as the show ended.

Winner : 30 Minute Time Limit Draw
