Trying to remember a match

[Guest Renegade]

I have been searching Kazza for a match that I saw long long ago, it was the first crusier match that I had seen but I cant seem to find it. The match ended with Rey beating Ultimo for a title (I think it was WCW so I guess it was the CW belt). Rey was wearing blue and white attire and Ultimo was wearing Green and gold attire. I’ve found other Rey jr/Ultimo Dragon matches on Kazza but none of them match what I remember.

 

Assuming that I’m actually remembering things correctly, does anybody know when this match was?

Assuming it's a Nitro match, August 12th, 1996.

 

Kevin Sullivan, Hugh Morrus, and the Faces of Fear defeated Rough and Ready and High Voltage...Diamond Dallas Page defeated the Renegade...Konnan defeated Jim Powers...Chris Benoit pinned Ron Studd...The Steiner Brothers defeated World Tag Team Champions, Harlem Heat by Disqualification...World Cruiserweight Champion, Rey Misterio Jr. defeated Ultimo Dragon...United States Champion, Ric Flair defeated Randy Savage...Sting and Lex Luger battled Scott Hall and Kevin Nash to a No-Contest.

I think it might have been Hog Wild on August 10, 1996. I'd watch my copy to be sure but it seems to screw up in every VCR in goes in so I won't risk it. Can anybody else confirm?

 

edit: I decided to take the initiative and take a chance. Turns out the tape's okay. I checked out the match Renegade and I think it might be it. Ultimo wears a green outfit with gold trim and Rey wears red, blue and white. It was for the cruiserweight title, but Rey was defending, not challenging. In fact I checked out my PWI almanac and accorking to it, Mysterio never beat Dragon for the Cruiserweight title. But its still a hell of match and inccidently both of the costumes they wear are in WCW:NWO World Tour, respectively.

Well Rey lost the belt in October 96 so it would have to be before that. I'm thinking either Hog Wild (which was, partly, shown for free on WCW Main Event to hype the PPV) or the before mentioned Nitro. Both were title defenses for Rey (Mysterio never won a belt off Ultimo in WCW).

 

They had a match at World War 3 that year with the Dragon winning.
