The Global Honored Crown (GHC) Hardcore Championship (Japanese: GHCハードコア王座, Hepburn: GHC Hādokoa Ōza) is a professional wrestling championship created and promoted by the Japanese professional wrestling promotion Pro Wrestling Noah, originally created in 2004 as a singles title known as the GHC Openweight Hardcore Championship (also sometimes referred to as the Global Hardcore Crown). The title has briefly been contested as a tag team championship and had a unique stipulation attached to it which stated that if the challenger was smaller than the champion, and lasted for 15 minutes, they would win the title.

History

The GHC Openweight Hardcore Championship was created in 2004 when Jun Akiyama declared himself champion. In 2007 it was announced that it would be reformed into a tag team title, continuing with the same lineage as the original belt. Later in 2007, it reverted to being a singles championship. Kentaro Shiga, who was the fifth champion before the reforming into a tag team title, was still recognized as such (along with his tag team partner, Kishin Kawabata), even though it was vacated to be put up for grab in a tournament, which they eventually won.[1] On November 19, 2007, Kawabata defeated Shiga to reunify the title.[2] The title was deactivated after ninth champion Kenta Kobashi suffered an injury in December 2009, forcing him to vacate the title.

In October 2023, it was revealed by Nosawa Rongai that Pro Wrestling Noah would bring the belt back to create the GHC Hardcore Championship with a separate lineage. A new champion was crowned on episode two of the Monday Magic event from October 23, 2023, where Masato Tanaka defeated Ninja Mack for the title.[3]

Reigns

Accross the two lineages, there have been a total of ten reigns shared between nine different champions. The current title holder is Masato Tanaka who is in his first reign.
