GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship
Professional wrestling tag team championship
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Global Honored Crown (GHC) Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship (Japanese: GHCジュニアヘビー級タッグ王座, Hepburn: GHC Junia Hebī-kyū Taggu Ōza) is a professional wrestling tag team title in Japanese promotion Pro Wrestling Noah, contested exclusively among junior heavyweight wrestlers.[2] It was created on July 16, 2003, when Kenta and Naomichi Marufuji defeated Jushin Thunder Liger and Takehiro Murahama in a tournament final.[3][4] It is currently one of two tag team titles in Noah, along with the typically heavyweight GHC Tag Team Championship. Although the weight limit is (100 kg (220 lb)), The Briscoe Brothers won the titles weighing slightly more than this on January 7, 2007.
