Naruki Doi
Encyclopedia
is a Japan
ese wrestler for Dragon Gate
, where he is currently one third of the Open the Triangle Gate Champions
. He also wrestled for Ring of Honor
, where he is a former World Tag Team Champion
with Shingo Takagi
, as well as Total Nonstop Action Wrestling
.
, he was given a baseball gimmick and the name of Second Doi.
Doi was originally groomed as the top face for T2P, but injuries forced him to debut in Japan late and his growth was slightly stunted. He joined the Toryumon Japan roster, and Shin M2K as T2P ended its run, later joining Final M2K.
In January 2005, Doi turned heel and joined CIMA
's new faction Blood Generation. He gained more rank then, and rose to be something of a second-in-command for the stable. He also became the first Open the Brave Gate
Champion on March 13, and would hold it until November 13, when he lost it to Dragon Kid
.
On April 12, 2006, when Gamma was kicked out of Blood Generation due to constant clashes with CIMA, Doi left with Gamma, along with Masato Yoshino
and Naoki Tanisaki
. It was unclear whether Doi or Gamma was the leader of the splinter faction. After Doi and Gamma won the rights to the Blood Generation name in a tag match against CIMA and Don Fujii
eleven days later, Doi's faction renounced it, renaming themselves the Muscle Outlaw'z
. The MO'z ranks would grow when Magnitude Kishiwada
joined them after returning from a stint of injury, as well as referee Kinta Tamaoka. The group would lose Tanisaki later that year, but shortly after recruited Genki Horiguchi
. MO'z would also host any heel wrestlers visiting Dragon Gate.
Doi continued to gain rank in 2007, and formed a regular tag team with Masato Yoshino, known as Speed Muscle, an amalgamation of their respective nicknames "Speed Star" and "Bosou Muscle". Doi and Yoshino declared themselves the first Open the Twin Gate
Champions after winning the inaugural Summer Adventure Tag League
Tournament in June, and later defeated Taku Iwasa
and Keni'chiro Arai
for the I-J Heavyweight Tag Team Championship to unify the two belts. In November, Doi and Yoshino added the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship
to their collection. Doi and Yoshino would drop the GHC titles to Shingo Takagi
and BxB Hulk
of New Hazard
in January 2008, and then the Open the Twin Gate titles to Iwasa and Arai the month after, and opted to stop teaming with each other. Doi briefly teamed with Horiguchi while Yoshino pursued CIMA and the Open the Dream Gate championship. Yoshino put forward an impressive performance, and despite losing, was congratulated by both CIMA and Doi. Their team reconciled.
Doi and Yoshino's increasing popularity began to cause a split in the Muscle Outlaw'z, as Yoshino began to feud with stablemate Yasushi Kanda
. The MO'z eventually split, with the heel faction of Kanda, Horiguchi, Gamma and YAMATO joining up with Shingo Takagi and Cyber Kong to form Real Hazard. Doi and Yoshino formed their own new stable, World-1, that also included BxB Hulk, Naoki Tanisaki, and m.c. KZ.
In August, he and Yoshino won the Summer Adventure Tag League Tournament for the second year in a row, and then a month later, on September 26, they captured the Open the Twin Gate Titles for a second time from Ryo Saito
and Susumu Yokosuka. Their second reign was very short, for they lost the titles nine days later to YAMATO
and Cyber Kong
. However, Doi would go on to become the ace of the promotion by year's end: He won the King of Gate
Tournament on December 19, and then nine days later he defeated Shingo Takagi to become the Open the Dream Gate Champion.
On May 5, he made a notable defense of the title against the former sumo champion-turned-wrestler Akebono
. Despite the huge size difference, he was able to defeat Akebono and retain the title, after hitting him with five consecutive Bakatare Sliding Kicks. On July 19, he got his biggest victory ever when he defeated Open the Brave Gate Champion CIMA in a Title vs. Title Match, claiming the Brave Gate for a second time and really cementing his status as the unquestioned ace of the promotion. He vacated the Brave Gate immediately afterwards. On August 24, 2010, Doi and Masato Yoshino won their third Summer Adventure Tag League by defeating Genki Horiguchi and Ryo Saito in the finals. On October 13, 2010, Doi turned on Yoshino and joined the former Deep Drunkers and Takuya Sugawara
to form a new heel stable. On November 23, 2010, Doi and Gamma defeated K-ness
and Susumu Yokosuka to win the Open the Twin Gate Championship. At the final Dragon Gate show of 2010, Final Gate 2010 on December 26, Doi unsuccessfully challenged his former partner Masato Yoshino for the Open the Dream Gate Championship. On January 10, 2011, Doi and Gamma lost the Open the Twin Gate Championship to Don Fujii and Masaaki Mochizuki
. On January 14, 2011, Team Doi aligned themselves with CIMA's Warriors stable, who turned heel in the process. On January 18 the new group was named Blood Warriors. On September 2, Doi, Kzy and Naoki Tanisaki defeated Gamma, Masato Yoshino and YAMATO to win the Dragon Gate Open the Triangle Gate Championship
.
on March 3, 2007, with Shingo
, beating the Briscoe Brothers
in Liverpool
, England
. The two would lose the title back to the Briscoes at All Star Extravaganza III on March 30. In June 2008, he and Masato Yoshino joined Milano Collection A.T. and Puma
to form Team Japan
in that year's TNA World X Cup Tournament
and together they had matches against members of the other teams, losing each match. At Victory Road
, Doi competed in the Ultimate X match
but came up short.
Doi has also appeared for the Hawaii-based Action Zone Wrestling, debuting with tag team partner Masato Yoshino
on January 7, 2008 in a four-way tag team match. He later returned for singles action at AZW's third year anniversary show Anniversary Annihilation on June 2, 2008 in a triple threat match against Akua and Sabaki.
