  • Takashi Sugiura The Global Honored Crown (GHC) Tag Team Championship is a professional wrestling tag team title in Japanese promotion Pro Wrestling Noah. It was created on October 19, 2001, when Vader and Scorpio defeated Jun Akiyama and Akitoshi Saito in a tournament final. Though it is typically contested among heavyweights (100 kg), some junior heavyweights such as Naomichi Marufuji and Yoshinari Ogawa have held it in the past. It is currently one of two tag team titles in Noah, along with the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship (reserved for junior heavyweights).

History

In October 2001, an 11-team tournament was held over the course of the "Navigation, Tug of War" tour. On October 19, Vader and Scorpio defeated Jun Akiyama and Akitoshi Saito in the final to become the inaugural champions.
