The Greater China Unified Zhongyuan Tag Team Championship (Japanese: 大中華統一中原タッグ王座, Hepburn: Daichūka Tōitsu Chūgen Taggu Ōza) was a professional wrestling championship in the Japanese promotion DDT Pro-Wrestling. The title was introduced in 2011, in DDT's parodic sub-brand New Beijing Pro-Wrestling.[1][2]

History[edit]

In storyline, this title was once held by Chinese historical figures Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu who were the 17th champions, before Choun Shiryu and Cao Zhang won them in April 2011, in New Beijing Pro-Wrestling, a DDT sub-brand that parodied New Japan Pro-Wrestling and Chinese history. The titles were only contested a handful of times throughout 2011, mostly in Union Pro-Wrestling, another sub-brand of DDT, where the title belts were actually unveiled in May 2011.[3]
