Opening World Series: 1968/01/03 - 01/29: 18 cards
World Tag Team Series: 1968/01/31 - 02/21: 7 cards

This is IWE's re-opening tour with the backing of TBS (Tokyo Broadcasting System). However, the booker Great Togo and Lou Thesz apparently attempted to take over the organization (or the entire Japanese pro-wrestling scene). JPWA's Yousef Turko and Gentetsu Matsuoka were said to "punish" Togo in a hotel room. When the takeover plan failed, they took their wrestlers back to the U.S. in the middle of the tour.

The date & location in bold letters indicate the card has full results (incomplete results and/or missing venue name otherwise).
