WCW Halloween Havoc 1996: WCW Cruiserweight Championship - Rey Mysterio Jr © vs Dean Malenko [1/2]

Rey Mysterio Jr made his World Championship Wrestling debut on 6/16/96 at The Great American Bash, challenging Dean Malenko for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship, which Malenko retained by cheating to win. In July at Bash At The Beach, he defeated longtime rival Psicosis in a #1 Contender's Match to earn another opportunity at the CW Title. The next night, on the 7/8/96 edition of WCW Monday Nitro, he defeated Malenko to win his first Cruiserweight Championship. During his 3 month reign as Champ, he's defended the Strap against the likes of Ultimate Dragon, and Super Caló, among others. But now, at WCW Halloween Havoc 1996, Mysterio must defend against the man he defeated to win it in the first place, "The Man Of 1000 Holds" Dean Malenko. Will Rey retain, or will Malenko regain?
