2005 Recap:
A promising Jr. Heavyweight, Suzuki has yet to win the GHC Jr. Heavyweight Championship but has not stopped trying. After two unsuccessful tries in 2004, he tried again in May, but again lost. After debuting Mushiking Terry at the Dome Show in July, he again took his shot at the Jr. Heavyweight Championship against KENTA in the fall, but again he lost. It is only a matter of time though until Suzuki (or Mushiking Terry) makes the next step and he finally has gold around his waist.

2006 Recap:
Suzuki had a rather quiet year as he continues climbing up the ladder. He had a singles match against Low Ki on February 17th but came up short. Much of the year his most notable matches took place when he became Mushiking Terry to wrestle his arch nemesis Mushiking Joker. He was also more successful as Mushiking Terry, although Suzuki did pick up a few singles wins against the newest dojo class in both NOAH and SEM.

2007 Recap:
2007 proved to be a great year for Suzuki as he won two GHC Jr. Heavyweight Championships, even holding them at the same time. The start of his good year was on January 21st when he teamed with Marvin to win the GHC Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Championship from the Briscoe Brothers. Suzuki would win his first singles title on April 28th when (as Mushiking Terry) he defeated Tatsuhito Takaiwa to win the GHC Jr. Heavyweight Championship. Mushiking Terry would hold the title for several months before losing to Yoshinobu Kanemaru in October. Suzuki and Marvin would keep their titles longer, until November 24th, when Marvin would break his leg during a match and they would fall to Naruki Doi and Masato Yoshino. Overall 2007 was the greatest year thus far in his career and it will be hard for him to match it in 2008.
