In an announcement at today's Declaration of Power show from Ryoguku Kokugikan, NJPW President Takami Ohbari praised TV Asahi before he unveiled the NJPW World Television Championship. The new belt will be aimed at the promotion's younger talents and title matches will be high-paced with a 15-minute time limit. The title will be defended in towns that wouldn't normally see a title match, Ohbari revealed.
