The title has been held and defended by teams outside NOAH, including New Japan Pro Wrestling, Dragon Gate, and Ring Of Honor, and also defended in these promotions. Title changes happen mostly at NOAH-promoted events. Minoru Fujita and Ikuto Hidaka, a Pro Wrestling Zero1 (Zero1) tag team, defeated then-reigning champions Yoshinobu Kanemaru and Takashi Sugiura on March 5, 2006 at Navigate For Evolution 2006: Haruka Eigen Goodbye Tour on the tenth day. Their reign lasted until August 13, 2006, when they lost the titles back to Kanemaru and Sugiura at the NOAH Navigation. During that time, they had two successful defenses; held by Zero1 due to a pre-existing relationship and an agreement with NOAH. Their first defense in Zero1 was a match against Tatsuhito Takaiwa and Yoshihito Sasaki, which occurred on April 13, 2006. On June 24, 2006, they made their second and last defense against STONED (Kagetora and Takuya Sugawara).
