With five title reigns, they now tie the legendary <strong>Cho-Ten<\/strong> tandem of <strong>Masahiro Chono &amp; Hiroyoshi Tenzan<\/strong> who won five titles between 1995 and 2005. They are only one more title reign away from tying the record of six titles, held by another of Tenzan&#8217;s tag teams, Tencozy, that paired Tenzan with <strong>Satoshi\u00a0Kojima<\/strong>. Tencozy has won six titles from 1999 through 2017. More impressively, it&#8217;s taken GoD just three years to acquire their five titles, while it took Cho-Ten a decade, and it&#8217;s been 18 years for Tencozy to amass six. Tencozy&#8217;s sixth and final reign was a short run in 2017, four years after their 5th title win. Following their victory, the new IWGP Tag Team Champs confronted Ring of Honor&#8217;s World Tag Team Champions <strong>The Briscoes<\/strong> and challenged them a match at the MSG Supercard in New York City, with both titles on the line apparently, in a Summit Showdown.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">ROH\u30bf\u30c3\u30b0\u738b\u8005\u30fb\u30d6\u30ea\u30b9\u30b3\u5144\u5f1f\u304c\u30b8\u30e5\u30fc\u30b9\uff06\u30d5\u30a3\u30f3\u30ec\u30fc\u3092\u6483\u7834\uff01<br \/>\u65b0IWGP\u30bf\u30c3\u30b0\u738b\u8005\u30fb\u30bf\u30de\uff06\u30bf\u30f3\u30ac\u304c4.6MSG\u5927\u4f1a\u3067\u306e\u201c\u9802\u4e0a\u5bfe\u6c7a\u201d\u3092\u8868\u660e!! \u30102.23\u5f8c\u697d\u5712\u7d50\u679c\u3011 <br \/>\u65b0\u65e5\u672c\u30d7\u30ed\u30ec\u30b9\u30fb\u30b9\u30de\u30db\u30b5\u30a4\u30c8\u3067\u72ec\u5360\u8a73\u5831\u4e2d\uff01<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/he4MgaOyMY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/he4MgaOyMY<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/njpw?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#njpw<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/njroh?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#njroh<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/d6HPm7Or3q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/d6HPm7Or3q<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; \u65b0\u65e5\u672c\u30d7\u30ed\u30ec\u30b9\u30ea\u30f3\u30b0\u682a\u5f0f\u4f1a\u793e (@njpw1972) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/njpw1972\/status\/1099291886198484993?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">February 23, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the New Japan Pro Wrestling and Ring of Honor tour Honor Rising in Japan on Saturday, Bullet Club&#8216;s Guerrillas of Destiny (Tama Tonga &amp; Tanga Loa) defeated Los Ingobernables de Japon&#8216;s SANADA &amp; EVIL to become IWGP Tag Team Champions once again.
