Open the Twin Gate Championship
When Ryo Saito turned heel in February 2009 and joined Real Hazard, he and Horiguchi began teaming again. On May 5, they won the Open the Twin Gate Championship from Susumu Yokosuka &amp; Gamma in a Three-Way Match, which included fellow Real Hazard stablemates Kenichiro Arai &amp; Yasushi Kanda. They would hold them until September 17, when they lost them to Shingo Takagi &amp; YAMATO. Afterwards, Horiguchi was relatively quiet again. He unsuccessfully challenged Naoki Tanizaki in the fall of 2009 for the Open the Brave Gate Championship.
