2005 Recap:
One of the most active freelancers, Suzuki participated frequently in both New Japan and NOAH. In NOAH, Suzuki won the GHC Tag Team Championship with Marufuji on June 18th, defeating Doug Williams and Scorpio. They would hold the belts until losing them to Morishima and Yone on October 28th. He also has a growing feud with Akiyama, which is expected to lead to a singles match in 2006. In New Japan, Suzuki teamed with Kashin and also participated in the G1 Climax, coming in 5th in his block. Overall Suzuki had a very successful year as he was a major force in two different promotions.

2006 Recap:
After losing to Akiyama in his quest for the GHC Heavyweight Championship, Suzuki started wrestling primarily for All Japan. He participated in his first Champion Carnival in April, but lost to eventual winner Kea in the semi-finals when he was surprised by a cradle. With his new friends MAZADA and NOSAWA, Suzuki wrestled many tours for All Japan as he proved that he was ready for a shot at the Triple Crown. On September 3rd, Suzuki would defeat Kea for the Triple Crown, his first major singles championship. He then successfully defended the title against RO'Z, winning with the choke sleeper. In the Real World Tag League, he teamed with NOSAWA but they would come in last place (mostly due to NOSAWA).
