Gourt Home::Gourt :: IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship
The IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship was created in 1998 as an incentive to the junior heavyweight division. Modelled on a similar championship by WAR, it has become one of the premier junior heavyweight championships in Japan, and aside from attracting top notch junior heavyweight talent, it has also been a crucial steppingstone for NJPW rookies to advance in the ranks.
