Super J-Cup: 2nd Stage was the second Super J-Cup professional wrestling tournament, it was hosted by Wrestle Association R and produced by WAR wrestler Último Dragón. The tournament was held to determine the top junior heavyweight of the world for that year. The event took place on December 13, 1995, at the Sumo Hall in Tokyo, Japan.[1][2] Like the previous year, the 1995 event brought in wrestlers from the promotions from all over the world including previous year's host New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), Social Progressive Wrestling Federation (SPWF), Wrestle Association R (WAR) and Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW).[3]

Similar to the previous year, the tournament featured fourteen participants. The main event was the final round of the 1995 Super J-Cup tournament, in which Jushin Thunder Liger defeated Gedo to win the tournament.[4] Aside from the tournament, the event also featured a "special attraction" match between Rey Misterio, Jr. and Psicosis.[5]
