(NOAH) "The Green Guide to Global Junior League 2018"
Global Junior League (or Global Junior Heavyweight League as it was once known) is run in the same way as Global Heavyweight League.
Participating wrestlers are divided into two blocks, A and B, each match will last thirty minutes. The league is run in a round-robin style. The two wrestlers who have scored the highest in each block will meet to determine the winner, who will then challenge the GHC Junior Heavyweight champion for the title.
There is nothing to prevent the GHC Junior Heavyweight champion from participating. Should he find himself in the finals either the match will be a title match, or if his opponent wins, he will be eligible for a shot at the title. More likely the highest scorer from the block will meet the second highest scorer from the opposing block.
Global Junior League has been run twice, once in 2009 (won by Yoshinobu Kanemaru) and last in 2015 (won by Daisuke Harada). It was YO-HEY who asked for its return after winning Global Junior Tag League 2018.
Never a staple of Noah's wheel of the year, events have been held sporadically, although Hajime Ohara and Daisuke Harada (the two leaders of the Junior division) have expressed that they would like it to be held each year.
