Twin Star of Arsion Championship

The Twin Star of Arsion Championship (Japanese: ツイン・スター・オブ・アルシオン王座, Hepburn: Tsuin Sutā Obu Arushion Ōza) was a professional wrestling tag team championship owned by the Hyper Visual Fighting Arsion promotion. Like most professional wrestling championships, the title was won as a result of a scripted match. The championship was introduced on December 7, 1998, when Hiromi Yagi and Rie Tamada defeated Ayako Hamada and Tiger Dream in the finals of a tournament to become the inaugural champions.[1][2] During the next four and a half years, there were thirteen reigns shared among thirteen different wrestlers and eleven teams. The title was retired when Arsion went out of business on June 22, 2003, making Rie Tamada and Takako Inoue the final champions in the title's history.[1][2]

History edit

On December 7, 1998, Hiromi Yagi and Rie Tamada became the first champions in the title's history by defeating Ayako Hamada and Tiger Dream in the finals of a seven-team round-robin tournament.[1][2] On October 21, 2001, right after Hamada and Michiko Omukai won the title by defeating the previous champions Lioness Asuka and Mariko Yoshida, it was vacated due to Hamada, who was the Queen of Arsion Champion at the time, wanted to concentrate on defending the Queen of Arison Championship.[1][2]

On December 8, Gami and Rie Tamada won the vacant championship by defeating Ai Fujita and Michiko Omukai in the finals of an eight-team round-robin tournament..[1][2] On July 21, 2002, right before the previous champions Gami and Lioness Asuka's title defense, it was vacated.[1][2] They won the title for the second time by defeating Ai Fujita and Michiko Omukai, and Bionic J and Melissa in a three-way tag team match.[1][2] The championship was deactivated on June 22, 2003 as Arison's closing, with Rie Tamada and Takako Inoue being the last champions.[1][2]
