Tomoaki Honma wurde am 18. Honma debuted on UK-based promotion, Revolution Pro Wrestling, on Revolution Pro & NJPW two-day event, Global Wars UK 2016 where he defeated Sha Samuels on the first night,[30] but lost to Josh Bodom on the second night. Eventually he turned his sights towards the BJW Deathmatch Heavyweight Title, which put him in direct competition with his former allies. [21] On January 4, 2016, at Wrestle Kingdom 10 in Tokyo Dome, Honma won his first title in NJPW, when he and Makabe defeated Bullet Club's Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson for the IWGP Tag Team Championship.

He recaptured the belt that November, but with injuries mounting and feeling a growing disatisfaction with deathmatches and his standing within Big Japan Pro-Wrestling, Honma abandoned the title, quit BJW and became a freelance westler.

On December 23, 2011, Honma received a rare opportunity to shine, when he challenged for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship in the main event of a NJPW show at Korakuen Hall, losing to champion Masato Tanaka at the end of the 23 minute bout. [31], Honma's characteristically hoarse voice is the result of crushed vocal cords, a problem also suffered by Shachihoko Boy, Kohei Sat,o and Genichiro Tenryu.
In April 2009, Honma showed his loyalty to Makabe by remaining by his side, when the rest of GBH turned on him and left the group to form CHAOS with Shinsuke Nakamura. Zum Hauptinhalt wechseln.
