The IWGP Heavyweight Championship is my go-to belt to fight for in WWE 2k18. I'm keeping Vader's legacy alive in my record breaking ninth reign with the belt. RIP Vader (1955-2018)
The old video was on my offline list, cause i wanted to memorize the theme song of every one of them, this new video will be on my offline last too, thanks dude
Abdul Mueed Cuz Lesnar held the title and left to USA, he didn't want to defend it in Japan. So they had to make Angle beat him, but Angle was signed for TNA and they don't want to take the risk(like when Vince didn't want Bret to leave to WCW while being WWF champ) so they had Kurt lose to Nakamura so that the title stays in Japan.
Ajay Nambiar it’s not even that. Brock didn’t return to NJPW to defend it so he was stripped. Nakamura became the new champion and eventually Inoki did the right thing with the physical 3rd belt and sent Kurt Angle to drop it to Nakamura to unify. Kurt Angle is not a real former IWGP Heavyweight Champion.
Vader was a REAL heel and he tried to convince the wwe that as a heel he only needed the belt for 40 plus days and then he would drop it back to Shawn at the Alamo Dome which would of sold out and made everybody happy to see Shawn win it back from the evil Vader. Instead Shawn cried and made Vader feel like shit while he also buried him by stooging off to Vince. I like HBK but Vader wanted to play the villain and the villain always loses in the end..
The title is up there with the likes of the WWE title and the NWA title. Including the AAA title. Impact title not anymore. NOAH title is up there with ROH title.
You Forgot Somebody Who was In TNA....Become IWGP World Heavyweight Champion that Guy Is Kurt Angle. How you Skipp Kurt Angle? Lol.....I think you should do Re-edited Bro.
that didn't count. after Brock won the title he jumped ship to Antonio Inoki's new promotion and they used NJPW's title as their own, still calling it the IWGP title. So when Angle beat Brock for that title it wasn't the real IWGP world title, it was the IGF title
Ok hold up..so Hogan never won this belt back in the day..ima little stooped about that because he down talked the wwf/e title calling it a toy compared to the iwgp title..an he was eager to win this title he never fuckin won it..an i wonder why ...hmmmm🤔
Kenny Omega technically that title at the time was the WCW International heavyweight title, a second world title if you would, he won it off of flair at the Tokyo dome at the WCW/NJPW supershow in I believe 93.
The “original” IWGP champion was Hulk Hogan. He won the IWGP League tournament in 1983. The championship went to the winner of the IWGP League tournament until the current IWGP championship was created in 1987. Other than that, the IWGP’s main title was the NWF championship.
Vacant was the best world champion of all time like man he’s been all over the world
IAMDYLANKENNEDY Yeah and he has been wrestling for ages
Doesn’t age, looks the same after all these decades! Vacant is the GOAT! Definite unsung hero of the wrestling biz ✊😔
the only one to hold all the titles in every promoción at some point
He should be in the hall of fame
Hiroshi Tanahashi at his prime was a thing of heaven.
So glad I have lived in this era of amazing wrestling.
Sadman Rhyme he is still the very best and his prime is not gone
Nope but he's getting older and needs to take time off for his body. He carried New Japan for so long. Okada, Omega and Naito have it for now.
In total okada hold the belt for 1516 days. #GOAT
Dan Hath more like who’s butt did he have to kiss
I mean the Okada vs Kenny Omega matches are far better than any WWE matches
Dan Hath Just look at the G1 Climax 27/BOSJ 2018, there are a bunch of good matches to see.
I've only held the FBW title for a total of 115 days in 2 reigns
The other person with 2 reigns held it a total of 35 days
Fujinami's theme sounds like 80s sitcom music
"All in the Fujinami-ly! Weekdays at 8, on FOX"
Fucking fujinami's theme gets me everytime lol
So happy you got it updated and Kenny is there. Never thought I'd see him gain that title but its so great to see him with it.
Riki Choshu, but you used a picture of Shinya Hashimoto. I appreciate the video nonetheless.
I know right
Jesus Christ Tanahashi really is NJPW's John Cena.
Rawr (And Fujinami was the Hulk Hogan. But New Japan has always had a top guy they gave treatment too.)
Nah that's okada
Tanahashi Hulk Hogan
@@invincibleuniverse6663 no okada is the late 2010s goat for the early 2010s its hiroshi

Kenny Omega 5 stars
Holy shit okada held it for 720 days?!
#OP
RIP Shinya Hashimoto & Vader
finalllyyy!!!!omega
You should start adding in the amount of title defenses each Champion had
HOLY FUCK GREAT IDEA, I LOVE YOU
beat me to it
Should that include house shows or not
The old video was on my offline list, cause i wanted to memorize the theme song of every one of them, this new video will be on my offline last too, thanks dude
Y2Jerico Kurt angle beat Brock Lesnar to become the IWGP world champion then why does it state that the title was vacated.
It had to do with some controversy surrounding Lesnar

Vader liked hurting jobbers, so what goes around comes around. Plus he apparently stank because he never washed his wrestling gear.
Is it weird that a 13 yr old like me is very interested in NJPW, new and old. Especially since im from the US
LeoN64 ! Say America not US
I'm 14, American, and I love it too. You're not alone.
Not weird. Your just a year older than me
@@peytoonald4193 uhh no cus there are 2 different America's...
Jordan Crawford America is a country
Congrats for 8000+ subs
Riki Choshu's theme music sounds just like music from the NES.
Man New Japan wrestlers have a lot of awesome theme songs that are better than today’s wwe theme songs
Nice!!! And you even updated some of the theme songs
Ever AJPW champion
Why did early NJPW stars have 70s funky theme songs
You should do the GHC World Heavyweight Championship.
🤘NJPW IWGP IS TOP.1 IS BEST IN THE WORLD 🤘
King of Sports
Admin Can You make an Update of newest IGWP CHAMPION from 1987-2019?
Latest known KAZUCHIKA OKADA The 5th Time IGWP HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION
Thank You😇
Best great
Easy to understand
Me scrolling through this video
My phone: wanna vibrate???
Hey nice you updated it again
U just made the playlist
If I ever become a pro wrestler (for NJPW), I will win the IWGP Heavyweight Championship and win the title at least 3 (or more) times.
coolvideos5113 goodluck and same here
Majnon Albalooshi Thanks and to you too
Are you sure about that?
Jason F I plan on doing the same only that I would much rather be on my own.
AdmiralOddSock Really? Why?
Every WCW CHAMPION please
@@rangelgaming1374 yes
What’s the song for Fujinami?
YEEEEEAAAAAAAH, SCOTT NORTON
His músic was shut down 2 times.
Vader with no shirt on lmfao
Now add the switchblade jay white
I thought lesnar left wwe in 2004 to join ufc. Didnt know he actually went to japan
No
Kensuke Sasaki’s theme sounds like music from Gundam Wing
Somebody should do a video ranking every iwgp champion
Good idea! I might do it
Bob Sapp would be the worst
You better add the switch blade to the list
The title is up there with the likes of the WWE title and the NWA title. Including the AAA title. Impact title not anymore. NOAH title is up there with ROH title.
So Tatsumi was WCW And IWGP World Champion at the same time how is that even possible
Supernova Gaming Two words, Cross promotion.
@Ajay Nambiar you mean ric flair
No swear words
Hiroshi Tanahashi is best
Can anyone give me the name of the song using in the Salman Hashimikov's scene?
What version of Tanahashi's theme is used here? Sounds awesome
Hogan beat Inoki in 83 for iwgp..Love or hate him,Hogan was the one that beat inoki in the tournament to become the inaugural champ..💯
4:09 that's not Choshu, that's Hashimoto
I like that low tone for Okada theme. Can anyone find that version?
Love it👌
You Forgot Somebody Who was In TNA....Become IWGP World Heavyweight Champion that Guy Is Kurt Angle. How you Skipp Kurt Angle? Lol.....I think you should do Re-edited Bro.
that didn't count. after Brock won the title he jumped ship to Antonio Inoki's new promotion and they used NJPW's title as their own, still calling it the IWGP title. So when Angle beat Brock for that title it wasn't the real IWGP world title, it was the IGF title
Andrew Portillo Wowww I didn't not know dat. Well I know now
They must make A good title belt
atleast this belt very cool better than wwe unviersal belt
I like music Funjinami
720 days?...wow
Riki choshu and shinya hashimoto aren't the same person. But overall , nice video😁
Wasnt Scott Norton in WCW when he won the title
Yep
WOW
Wwe intercontinental champion
Now that Tanahashi is top guy again, will there be a new video?
No
Jay White just beat him lol
Vacated is the best champion
So Japan had a black champion before WWE, im soooooo done
Xavier Washington No the Rock was the first Black champion in WWE
All the black wrestlers that could've made good wwe champs were world heavyweight champions instead.
Alex 316 NO the Rock was the first Black Wwe champion
@@jbramdocool You're a dumb fuck. He is half black. Have you not seen his father? The fuck?
@@jbramdocool bruh are you using Wikipedia , like for real
Why are a lot of these former world champions not around in nj? I’m still pretty new
Ok hold up..so Hogan never won this belt back in the day..ima little stooped about that because he down talked the wwf/e title calling it a toy compared to the iwgp title..an he was eager to win this title he never fuckin won it..an i wonder why ...hmmmm🤔
If the championship was created in 1987 than what previous championship did they possess during the 70s and mid 80s?
They didn't have one, same thing happened to WWE. It was founded in 1952 but the first WWE champion was in the 1960s
I believe it was a trophy.
They used the NWF heavyweight championship as the main title till the IWGP title was created.
Shinsuke Nakamuraaaaaaa
Wait Kenny was never world champion?
Lava dog 4 Lyfe when I first got into NJPW I thought he was. He wasn’t, but now he is
Alpha Gaming You didn’t even like his comment
what vacated mean?
Vacated means turning in your title due to Storyline reasons or Kayfabe reasons like Injury.
@@samurai6331 or in NJPW REAL, sometime, near fatal, INJURIES
Song of tatsumi fujinami?
First also love the vids
Why was the title vacteded so much?
Injuries
Is tatsu fuji Nami with the world heavyweight championship
Kenny Omega technically that title at the time was the WCW International heavyweight title, a second world title if you would, he won it off of flair at the Tokyo dome at the WCW/NJPW supershow in I believe 93.
Did something strange about Tatsumi Fujinami??
長州力のところで、橋本真也の写真になっていますでし！
Why are their so many Hiroshis in this vid
Aj stylesohhh....
And hulk hogan the first champion
LuigiMan 373 no he wasn’t
The “original” IWGP champion was Hulk Hogan. He won the IWGP League tournament in 1983. The championship went to the winner of the IWGP League tournament until the current IWGP championship was created in 1987. Other than that, the IWGP’s main title was the NWF championship.
Vader
Forgot Kurt Angle
Angel was the IGP Versión of this title.
I had to change the velocity to 2x, poor editing
12:54
Didn't Bob Sapp defeat Great Muta for the title?
No, he defeated Kensuke Sasaki.
Where is Hulk Hogan?
Hulk Hogan was never IWGP Heavyweight Champion. The inaugural IWGP Heavyweight Champion was Kanji Inoki not Terry Bollea.
Your thinking about the g1 climax. Which he did win once
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat no
125
391
280
720
What?
So many misinformation.
Nice!!! And you even updated some of the theme songs
