2005 Recap:
Norton does not tour as often with New Japan as he did in the past due to his age and injuries, but he still makes his presence felt. One of the most respected gaijins in the history of New Japan, Norton's power is still unbelievable, and he is still able to manhandle smaller wrestlers with ease. He suffered an injury in late 2005, but it was not considered serious.

2006 Recap:
Scott Norton returned in 2006, wrestling in his 100th Tour for New Japan. Norton lost in a match against Giant Bernard to find the strongest foreigner in New Japan, and then in the first round of the New Japan Cup Norton lost to Tenzan. Soon after he departed from New Japan and became a Freelancer.
