Names Inaugural tournament Genichiro Tenryu had the idea for the
WAR World 6-Man Tag Team Championship from his stay in
World Championship Wrestling, where he held the
NWA World Six-Man Tag Team Championship with
The Road Warriors during the time he elevated to the top of
All Japan Pro Wrestling. On June 30, 1994, an eight-team
single elimination tournament was held in
Sendai to crown the inaugural champions. The tournament saw
Fuyuki-gun (
Hiromichi Fuyuki,
Gedo and
Jado) defeat
Animal Hamaguchi, Genichiro Tenryu and
Koki Kitahara in the final. This title was essentially WAR's main championship, as it drew both heavyweights and
junior heavyweights for competition. The promotion closed in 2000, and the title was abandoned.
Revivals Genichiro Tenryu revived the title in 2010, for his new
Tenryu Project promotion, as the
Tenryu Project World 6-Man Tag Team Championship. It was disbanded when Tenryu closed the promotion after his retirement on November 15, 2015. The title was reactivated in July 2021 as the
Tenryu Project WAR World 6-Man Tag Team Championship and a four-team tournament was held between January and February 2022 to crown new champions. ==Reigns==
