GHC Tag Team title change in the UK

[Black_Flag_Of_Ulster]

Minoru Suzuki & Naomichi Marufuji beat Scorpio & Doug Williams on a FWA show at Morecambe to win the title. Well, what did I wanna say? Probably something like "****! I always miss the good ones!". Also, isn't that the first title change of a Japanese title in the UK since the Dirtbike Kid thing?

It's been since January that these guys won the title. Maybe they had problems with Williams coming to Japan as much... (I'd have to check the results but) This is a shocking change. I wonder how Suzuki & Marufuji will get along. I know Naomichi has been wanting to enter the heavyweight division- maybe this is the first step for him.

Aren't they (Suzuki and Marifuji) crusierweights?

[Haiku Warrior]

Marufuji was. Minoru Suzuki wrestles heavyweight. You may be thinking of Kotaro Suzuki...

It's an odd pair that's for sure.

Misawa might have been unhappy with Williams & Scorpio for some reason...

[Pheonix_Chi25]

I thought it all had to do with Misawa not liking Gaijins or something to that effect? The whole thing with Vader or however.

I was hoping they could have a long reign...maybe one wasn't returning to NOAH?????

Sorry for the late reply, I just found these forums....

I was fortunate enough to play the music signifying this title change, gave me a real buzz to do that!

I think the reason for it was that either Scorpio or Doug couldn't coordinate regular title defences due to overseas commitments.
