World Japan History:
One of the younger wrestlers in World Japan, Ishii had limited victories as he honed his craft. He did win the Young Magma Cup however, defeating Masamitsu Kochi in the finals and Takashi Uwano in the semi-finals. Towards the end of World Japan's run, Ishii usually teamed with Choshu and got a lot of experience in the main event.

2006 Recap:
With Choshu with the book in New Japan, Ishii (who used to wrestle in Choshu's Riki Pro and World Japan) became a regular wrestler in New Japan in 2006. After at first struggling to find his place in the promotion, he started working with Yano as a heel tag team. Towards the end of the year he joined the new heel group Great Bash Heel and he teamed with Yano in the G1 Tag League.

2007 Recap:
Ishii continued to focus on his team with Yano, and the team wrecked havoc on the mid-card and in Lock Up!. Ishii didn't have any title shots in 2007, and in the first round of the New Japan Cup he lost to Yuji Nagata. Since Yano began teaming more with Makabe towards the end of your year, Ishii was the odd man out and tended to focus on the beginning of the card as he tried to work his way up the card.
