Ishii , Goto and Yoshi Hashi – 9 Defenses (record) in that Reign (454 days , the most in the titles history). By far the best memories I had with that belt. Yoshi Hashi’s moment, the run being focused on him finally finding his stride (which would then lead to Bishamon’s success) , the quality of the matches and the chemistry was great.
-
CHAOS and Tanahashi (Okada, Tanahashi and Ishii) – 8 Defenses (second place for most defenses). I lowkey prefer this title reign to the one I put in 1st place because they always did marquee crossover matches or just big trios matches with MCMG and Josh Alexander / Death Riders and Shota Umino. Some of those matches felt more memorable and the defenses they had at Korakuen Hall (like the one against TMDK and the one in December against United Empire) were absolutely phenomenal.

House of Torture (Evil, SHO and Yujiro) , and this one has a HUGE gap from the other two. But they have a combined 5 title defenses (third in the titles history) and 4 in their big reign (tied for third in the titles history) and held the title for a long time. However I put them above the other trios with same defenses because they dethroned Team Number 1
Anyways. In conclusion , Ishii is the greatest never 6 title holder of all time.
And I miss that title being an important part of the show goddamit!
