1998
The 1998 Best of the Super Juniors was a two-block, 12-man tournament held from May 16 to June 3. Like the previous year, it used a simpler points system, including 1 point for a win and 0 for a loss or draw. The winner, Koji Kanemoto, would make an unsuccessful challenge to the champion, Jushin Liger, on July 15, as well as an equally unsuccessful rematch on January 4, 1999, before beating Liger for the title on March 17, 1999.
