Giant Bernard, who may be better known to United States wrestling fans as WWE Superstar A-Train, has made history in The Land of The Rising Sun by teaming with Karl Anderson and becoming the first team in history to hold both the New Japan IWGP Tag Team Championship and the Pro Wrestling NOAH GHC TAG Team Titles! Bernard and Anderson defeated Takayama & Takuma Sano in a Title vs Title Match when Bernard pinned Sano with the Bernard Driver at 12:03 into the encounter, which took place at the Osaka Furitsu Gym.
