The Natural Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 I'd rank them: 5. IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. 4. IWGP Heavyweight Championship V1. 3. IWGP Heavyweight Championship V2. 2. IWGP Heavyweight Championship V3. 1. IWGP Heavyweight Championship V4. It's really close between the IWGP Heavyweight Championship V1-V2 and V3-V4. The IWGP World Heavyweight Championship is the only one I don't like at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Seems the new booking around the IWGP World HW title won't care so much about the Japanese champions having to be trueborns, unlike the last decade. Similar changes in booking happened for the AJPW Triple Crown post split. However, Kensuke Sasaki, Yoshihiro Takayama, Genichiro Tenryu, Kota Ibushi, Tatsumi Fujinami, Antonio Inoki all won the defunct IWGP HW before and weren't NJPW trueborns. I would count Okada but he had extensive retraining in the NJPW dojo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I would count Inoki as a true born since, ya know, he started the company) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V1 is the one pictured above (smaller main plate) V2 was the one used toward the end of the company folding (as seen here being held by the Hardy's): https://64.media.tumblr.com/10bbaa110bc9a6317732b0b911d980fc/tumblr_o7j05n0oAs1rg89a6o1_500.jpg V3 was the same as V2 but the sideplates were changed to have the birdpoop logo instead of the older logo. I don't think V3 ever made it on television. Â 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or an outline of Cody's neck tattoo. They really missed an opportunity. They could have made it an outline of Inoki's head.

DangerMark Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I prefer to think of it as taking the opportunity to not do that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
