On June 30, 1994, an eight-team single elimination tournament was held in Sendai to crown the inaugural champions. The tournament saw Fuyuki-gun (Hiromichi Fuyuki, Gedo and Jado) defeat Animal Hamaguchi, Genichiro Tenryu and Koki Kitahara in the final.
This title was essentially WAR's main championship, as it drew both heavyweights and junior heavyweights for competition. The promotion closed in 2000, and the title was abandoned.
Revivals Genichiro Tenryu revived the title in 2010, for his new Tenryu Project promotion, as the Tenryu Project World 6-Man Tag Team Championship. It was disbanded when Tenryu closed the promotion after his retirement on November 15, 2015.
The title was reactivated in July 2021 as the Tenryu Project WAR World 6-Man Tag Team Championship and a four-team tournament was held between January and February 2022 to crown new champions.
