On 1/4/03 at the Tokyo Dome, four men competed in a one night tournament to determine a worthy challenger for Yuji Nagata's IWGP Heavyweight Title. Titled the Young Generation Cup, it featured four of New Japan's top young peers, past the young lion stage, but still climbing the ladder. Yutaka Yoshie, Shinya Makabe, Kenzo Suzuki, and Ryushi Yanagisawa fought it out on the super-show, and in the end a rematch from the previous Tokyo Dome show would take place, the Makai Club's Yanagisawa gaining a title shot. However, he forfeited his attempt to dethrone Nagata in favour of challenging Yoshihiro Takayama for the NWF Heavyweight Title on 2/16/03.
