Osaka Pro Wrestling (2006–2009)
Zeus is arguably the strongest wrestlers to ever step foot into an Osaka Pro ring. A brief video hyped up a mysterious debut right before the 2006 Tennozan Finals show in December. Zeus would make his first appearance at that show, first impressively bending a frying pan and then helping GAINA & Condor take out Seikigun. This would be the start of the heel group Bad Force. Nicknamed the God of Destroy, Zeus was initially unbeatable due to his strength. He teamed up with GAINA to win the Osaka Pro Tag Titles shortly afterwards, but they would lose them at Hurricane 2007 to Hideyoshi & Masamune in a three-way Match. Zeus started to break out as a singles wrestler in late 2007, reaching the Tennozan final before falling to Osaka Pro Champion Tigers Mask. Super Delfin then started to take an interest in Zeus, offering him to teach him more about professional wrestling. Despite Bad Force’s protests, Zeus would accept Delfin’s offer and eventually left the group. After Hurricane 2008, he started the youngster group Blood & Guts (B&G) and recruited Daisuke Harada and Tadasuke. Zeus started to appear in other promotions, most notably facing big names like Akebono and Toshiaki Kawada in Hustle. It was in Hustle that he picked up a clean singles win over former IWGP Heavyweight Champion Bob Sapp. Zeus produced his own show in December and hinted at a major announcement at Hurricane 2009.
