2005 Recap:
The master of the senton, Saito has taken a back seat as he gets older.  In 2005, Saito could be found participating in tag matches in the first third of the card in most cases, teaming with young lions and helping them learn.  Saito did not participate in the G-1 Climax and did not wrestle on any of the Tokyo Dome Shows.
