Wrestlers Who You Likely Didn't Know or Forgot Held A Title In A Promotion (New Japan Pro Wrestling)

Since it's formation in 1972, New Japan Pro Wrestling has had it's share of all time great champions and some lackluster along the way. While many are well known from Antonio Inoki to Tatsumi Fujinami to Riki Choshu to The Three Musketeers to Jushin Thunder Liger to Hiroshi Tanahashi to Shinsuke Nakamura to Kazuchika Okada. The company has also had many great foreigners hold titles including Hulk Hogan, Vader, The Steiner Brothers, AJ Styles, and Kenny Omega to name some. However, with such a long history, there's bound to be champions you may have forgotten about or didn't even know they held a title. Even wrestlers you're familiar with. This will be the first article in a series where I look at companies who had champions you heard of but didn't know they held a title there or forgot they did. First one is New Japan Pro Wrestling especially since a lot of foreigners are interesting in the promotion these days.
Note: I don't own any of the pictures as I got them off google and puroresusystem.fandom.com
