IWGP Tag Team Championship

[7.0] "The IWGP Tag Team Championship has done well to showcase New Japan's best heavyweight tag teams and has been used to highlight the best teams rather than being used as a development tool. Many of the titleholders have been the best either in the organization (such as TMDK or Bullet Club's various reigns) or in all of wrestling (such as post-Bullet Club Young Bucks and FTR.)"

[7.0] "When they want NJPW can create tag magic, unfortunately these belts have not often been used to great effect, especially in recent memory. Theyre still prestigious enough through the IWGP label to be able to be redeemed, but it will be a slow journey, TMDK getting the belts is a start."

[6.0] "There are usually good matches for this titles but really few of them get to be memorable, and is always disputed between the same 4 tag teams (they may change but its always 4 and nothing more)."

[2.0] "These belts don't matter whatsoever, meaning the heavyweight tag division doesn't matter. I can't tell you a single memorable match with these belts and right now they're held by two inadequate goobers by the names of Chase Owens & Bad Luck Fale. What a shameful division that nobody should care about."

[10.0] "For many years those belts meant the pinnacle of the tag team division of the world. With, obvious, highs and los, ups and downs, this championship is still one of the most prestigious regarding tag teams all over the globe."

[9.0] "One of the prestigious tag team championships in terms of linage, but booking can hurt the title at times. I think over the past year or two the title has gotten the love it deserves, and that really helps. The Tekkers feuds with Golden Ace, GoD, Goto-HASHI and Naito/SANADA really picked this title up and put it where it belongs."

[4.0] "Simple new Japan do not care about tag wrestling or these tag titles the fact they have 3 different tag belts is ridiculous and dilutes the already tiny amount of tag teams in new Japan"

[4.0] "A championship mostly used to give deserving folks like ZSJ a belt to carry to the ring without positioning them too high in the totem and thus avoid hurting sensitive inflated egos. The big problem is differently from AJPW and even BJW, NJPW never really produced real tag teams. They have had folks who worked well together (say, Kojima and Tenzan) but never a real successful homegrown tag team. This has been the case since the 80's: Gedo and Jado are merely continuing the tradition of mediocrity. With the NJPW roster so depleted and AEW and WWE locked in a bidding war over talent it's likely this championship will sink even further into irrelevance even after things will return to a semblance of sanity."

[4.0] "Ok look, recently this title has been booked really really poorly, you know? It is like a hot potato belt between GOD, a Babyface Tag Team and another Heel Tag Team. A good example of this is FinJuice winning the belts on WK, just to lose on a rematch to GOD... who lost to Tanahashi & Ibushi. You see? Two pointless reigns with zero defenses and not a single purpose. Gedo doesn't know how to book a Tag Team Division and mantain it consistent."

[7.0] "Pretty much your gold standard for totally fine but not special championship titles. Defended relatively frequently, held by solid teams."

[7.0] "There was a time where these belts were more prestigious because there were less titles. Now they have the same problem as the Junior tag team belts: not enough teams. G. O. D are a strong and credible team but rarely puts memorable matches. EVIL and SANADA are a good team but are mostly thrown together in this division in the really big shows where they struggle to get singles matches. I don't understand why they don't put Zack Sabre Jr. and Minoru Suzuki/Taichi in this division more often, it's an example of a team that could easily elevate the prestige of these titles."

[8.0] "After having spent much more time watching New Japan I have decided to up my rating, the booking of the feuds and the actual matches for these belts have always been top quality. They are just missing that something extra special to get that 10 rating."

[4.0] "This title is the weakest point of NJPW shows these days. Since GBH has left title picture those matches are constantly heatless even when they're worked good(Briscoes vs bucks). It feels like they're biding time till the tag league."

[6.0] "Getting tired of the way these belts are booked, both tag divisions are floundering due to segregation, it's just a set of belts to watch lumbering gaijins and occasionally GBH pound eachother, it's only hampering these belts."

[4.0] "These tag titles are always the low point of every njpw show they are on for years now, with too many gajin champs, too much focus on these tag titles instead of the jr tag titles and at best 3 star matches have made these titles seem horrible. I do not know how classic new japan treated this but they need to merge the jr and these heavyweight tag team divison to at least create some intrest in the titles."

[8.0] "Best tag championship in Japan and maybe the best that these business have ever seen."
