Global Tag League

Last updated

The Global Tag League is a professional wrestling round-robin tag team tournament held by Pro Wrestling Noah. It was created in 2008.

Contents

The Global Tag League is held under a points system, with two points for a win, one for a time limit draw and none for any other kind of a draw or a loss. [1] The team finishing atop the points standings are the winners. Matches in the Global Tag League have a 30-minute time limit, which is the same as matches for Noah's GHC Tag Team Championship.

The tournament returned in 2024 after a four year break rebranded as Victory Challenge Tag League.

2013

The 2013 Global Tag League ran from April 13 through April 28. The 2013 edition was only the second to feature two blocks of teams; each consisting of five, with the top teams from each block meeting in the final. [20] Naomichi Marufuji was sidelined with a knee injury on April 14 after his and Takashi Sugiura's first match, a win over Shinya Ishikawa and Yoshihito Sasaki, had already taken place. On April 17, Noah announced that Atsushi Kotoge would replace Marufuji in the tournament, but instead of inheriting Marufuji's and Sugiura's points, they would start at zero points and face Ishikawa and Sasaki in a new match. [21] [22]
