Dangerous Tekkers was a professional wrestling tag team consisting of Taichi and Zack Sabre Jr. that competed in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW). The team was broken up after Suzuki-gun disbanded on December 23, 2022.
==History==
===Formation (2018-2019)===
With both Taichi & Zack Sabre Jr. being members of Suzuki-gun, the pair first teamed in multi-man tag team matches, before their first tag team match at Road To Sakura Genesis 2018 - Night 2, where they defeated CHAOS members Kazuchika Okada & YOSHI-HASHI. Taichi & Zack Sabre Jr. would compete in the World Tag League 2018, winning eight of their thirteen matches to finish sixth with sixteen points. Taichi & Zack Sabre Jr. would both focus on their singles careers throughout 2019. However, Taichi & Zack Sabre Jr. again competed in the World Tag League, winning nine out of their fifteen matches to finish fifth with eighteen points. 
===First IWGP Tag Team Championship reign (2020-2021)===
In July, 2020, at Dominion 7.12.20, Taichi & Zack Sabre Jr., under the name Dangerous Tekkers, defeated Golden Ace (Hiroshi Tanahashi & Kota Ibushi) to win the IWGP Tag Team Championship. Dangerous Tekkers would go on to defend the championship against former champions Golden Ace and CHAOS members Hirooki Goto & YOSHI-HASHI before competing in the World Tag League 2020. Dangerous Tekkers won six of their nine matches to finish third with twelve points, only missing out on the final due to tiebreakers. At Wrestle Kingdom 15 - Night 1, Dangerous Tekkers were defeated by the World Tag League winners Guerrillas Of Destiny (Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa), ending their 176 day reign. 
===Second IWGP Tag Team Championship Reign (2021)===
Dangerous Tekkers attempted to regain the IWGP Tag Team Championship back from Guerrillas Of Destiny at The New Beginning In Hiroshima 2021 - Night 1, but lost the match by disqualification. Four months later in June, Dangerous Tekkers defeated Guerrillas Of Destiny at Road To Dominion 2021 - Night 1 to regain the IWGP Tag Team Championship. Dangerous Tekkers would hold the championship for 40 days before losing the title to Los Ingobernables de Japon (SANADA & Tetsuya Naito) at Summer Struggle In Sapporo - Night 2.
===Third IWGP Tag Team Championship Reign and disbandment (2021-2022)===
Dangerous Tekkers would quickly win back the championship however, defeating SANADA & Tetsuya Naito at Wrestle Grand Slam In Tokyo Dome. At Wrestle Grand Slam In Metlife Dome - Night 2, Dangerous Tekkers defeated CHAOS (Hirooki Goto & YOSHI-HASHI) and Los Ingobernables de Japon (SANADA & Tetsuya Naito) in a three-way tag team match to retain the championship, before competing in the World Tag League 2021. Dangerous Tekkers won 8 of their 11 matches, ending the tournament in third with sixteen points, missing out on the finals once again due to tiebreakers. At Wrestle Kingdom 16 - Night 1, Dangerous Tekkers were defeated by Hirooki Goto & YOSHI-HASHI, ending their 163 day reign as champions. On December 23, 2022, Suzuki-gun had its final match before disbanding. As a result of Suzuki-gun ending, Sabre also revealed that Dangerous Tekkers had come to an end.
