Osaka Pro Wrestling (2011–2013)
The Big Guns is the team of Zeus and The Bodyguard. The team was formed after Zeus defeated Bodyguard in an anticipated singles encounter in January 2011. Bodyguard decided to not have JOKER with him at ringside to help him, but JOKER rushed in afterwards to attack Zeus. When Bodyguard refused to join in, he was attacked as well. Zeus & Bodyguard then joined forces to clear JOKER out and shook hands to loud cheers. Mere weeks later, they would go on to win the Osaka Pro Wrestling Tag Team Championship from JOKER’s Kuuga and Orochi. They then successfully defended them against Hideyoshi and Masamune at the February IMP Hall show. Their reign though would be short-lived as Orochi reunited with Tadasuke and took the belts back in a three-way match in March 2011. The two are the two most powerful men in Osaka Pro and have faced a number of outsiders since their formation. This is mostly because they have the most “mainstream” value in the company since briefly was Zeus in boxing and Bodyguard is a former award-winning bodybuilder. Notable names who have faced the Big Guns include the legendary Genichiro Tenryu, Minoru Suzuki, Akebono, and Shinjiro Otani. The Big Guns have also competed in other organizations such as Zero1 and Wrestling New Classic. They’ve also produced a number of shows in conjunction with Wrestling New Classic. They also won the Osaka Tag Festival 2013 and later in 2013 they won the Osaka Pro Wrestling Tag Team Champions for the second time and Zeus also won the Osaka Pro Wrestling Championship and at the Tennozan 2013 Zeus and Bodyguard faced each other in the finals and the winner was Zeus. On March 1, 2014, it was announced that the promotion would be folding due to financial difficulties on April 20 with all of its workers becoming freelancers. It was later announced that Osaka Pro Wrestling would continue under new management, Zeus and The Bodyguard vacated the Osaka Pro Wrestling Championship and the Osaka Pro Wrestling Tag Team Championship and leaved the promotion. On April 20 Zeus and Bodyguard wrestled their last match with Quiet Storm against Billyken Kid, Bull Armor Takuya and Black Buffalo and they lost.
