The Tug-of-War (ザ・タッグオブウォー) was an event introduced in the first Pro Sportsman Tournament in Pro Sportsman No. 1 1995.
The event itself involves two competitors engaging in a game of tug-of-war. The winning competitor would advance to the next rounds of tug-of-war. This process continues in the further rounds until the last round where the lone winner of the round becomes the No. 1 of the event.
Prior to being called as The Tug-of-War, it would have an earlier appearance on Pro Sportsman No. 1 1993, where it was called as the 1v1 Tsunahiki (1vs1綱引き).
This event would appear in four Pro Sportsman Tournaments and two Amateur Sportsman Tournaments.
