Twin Star of Arsion Championship
The Twin Star of Arsion Championship 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]
