TheIWGP Heavyweight Championship (IWGPヘビー級王座,IWGP hebī-kyū ōza) was aprofessional wrestlingworld heavyweight championship[3] owned by theNew Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW)promotion. "IWGP" is the acronym of NJPW's governing body, the International Wrestling Grand Prix (インターナショナル・レスリング・グラン・プリ,intānashonaru resuringu guran puri).[4] The title was introduced on June 12, 1987, in the final of anIWGP tournament. It was unified with theIWGP Intercontinental Championship on March 4, 2021, to form the newIWGP World Heavyweight Championship.

The championship was represented by four different belts from 1987 to 2021. The fourth and last generation belt was introduced in March 2008.[5] The title formed what was unofficially called the "New JapanTriple Crown" (新日本トリプルクラウン,Shin Nihon Toripuru Kuraun) along with the IWGP Intercontinental Championship and theNEVER Openweight Championship.[6]

Title history

[edit]

Anearly version of this championship was introduced in 1983 for the winner (Hulk Hogan) of theIWGP League 1983. Since then, the championship was defended annually against the winner of the IWGP League of the year. A new IWGP Heavyweight Championship arrived only in 1987, replacing the old version.[7] The 1987 version was defended regularly and was the top championship of NJPW until the introduction of theIWGP World Heavyweight Championship in 2021.

Throughout the history of the championship, several wrestlers were forced to relinquish the title due to an inability to participate in title defenses. When a wrestler had been injured or unable to compete for other reasons, tournaments were held to determine the new champion.[8][9]

In 2006,Brock Lesnar was stripped of the title for refusing to defend it, claiming he was owed money by NJPW. The company went on to crown a new champion, while Lesnar kept the physical belt.[10] He signed withAntonio Inoki'sInoki Genome Federation (IGF) in 2007, and lost thechampionship toKurt Angle on the promotion's inaugural event.[11][12] Angle later lost the belt in a unification match to the NJPW-recognized championShinsuke Nakamura in 2008.

On January 5, 2020, Tetsuya Naito won the Heavyweight and Intercontinental Championships. Both titles kept their individual history, but were defended at the same time. Sometimes, they were called "Double Championship".[13][14] One year after Naito's victory, Chairman Naoki Sugabayashi announced the unification of both titles, deactivating the Intercontinental title and forming the new IWGP World Heavyweight Championship.[15] On March 4, 2021, the Double Champion Kota Ibushi defeated El Desperado to unify and retire both titles.

On October 21, 2021, after winning theG1 Climax,Kazuchika Okada asked for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship belt to be awarded to him for winning the tournament instead of the typical briefcase and contract for an IWGP World Heavyweight Championship match atWrestle Kingdom 16. On October 25 at Road to Power Struggle, Okada's request was approved and he appeared with the championship; despite holding the physical championship belt, Okada was not recognized as the official IWGP Heavyweight Champion and the championship is still considered deactivated.
