TOTAL ECLIPSE was a professional wrestling stable in All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW). The stable was formed after Jake Lee, who had disbanded JIN, replaced Enfants Terribles' leader Shotaro Ashino, with former Enfants Terribles members Hokuto Omori, Koji Doi, Kuma Arashi, and Yusuke Kodama, along with TAJIRI, joining Lee.
History[]
Formation (2021)[]
After disagreements between Enfants Terribles leader Shotaro Ashino and Hokuto Omori, Ashino was replaced by former JIN member, Jake Lee. Omori, along with Koji Doi, Kuma Arashi and Yusuke Kodama followed Lee's leadership, and the group was named TOTAL ECLIPSE, following TAJIRI's addition. The group had their debut match at Dream Power Series 2021 - Night 1, with Lee, Omori, Doi, TAJIRI & Kodama defeating Evolution members Dan Tamura, Hikaru Sato & Suwama who partnered with Koji Iwamoto & Shotaro Ashino. Lee and Doi competed in the 2021 Champion Carnival, with Lee winning the tournament after finishing with twelve points. However, Doi finished last, only amassing two points in his nine matches.
The stable saw great success at Champions Night 2021, with Omori, TAJIRI & Kodama winning the AJPW TV Six Man Tag Team Championship from Black Menso-re, Carbell Ito & Takao Omori, while Lee won the vacant AJPW Triple Crown Championship in a Tomoe Battle Match. At Summer Action Series 2021 - Night 1, Doi & Arashi failed to add the AJPW Unified World Tag Team Championship to the stable's accomplishments. On the last night of the Summer Action Series 2021, Lee retained the Triple Crown Champion against the man he replaced in Enfants Terribles, Shotaro Ashino. However, on the same night, Omori, TAJIRI & Kodama lost the AJPW TV Six Man Tag Team Championship to Carbell Ito, Seigo Tachibana & Yoshitatsu. Lee would come close to winning the 2021 Royal Road Tournament, but was eliminated in the semi-final by Shotaro Ashino.
Lee & Omori competed in the 2021 World's Strongest Tag Determination League, however, the pair only won one of their three matches to finish third in Block A. However, fellow TOTAL ECLIPSE members Arashi & Doi won Block D with four points, advancing to the final after defeating Suwama & Shotaro Ashino in the semi-final, but were defeated in the final by NEXTREAM's Kento Miyahara & Yuma Aoyagi. Omori & Kodama would win the Junior Tag Battle of Glory on December 26, after defeating Dan Tamura & Hikaru Sato in the final. However, two days later, Lee vacated the Triple Crown Championship due to injury.
At the beginning of 2022, at New Year Wars 2022 - Night 1, Omori & Kodama defeated STRONGHEARTS (El Lindaman & T-Hawk) to win the AJPW All Asia Tag Team Championship. At Excite Series 2022 - Night 5, Doi & Arashi failed to win the AJPW Unified World Tag Team Championship again. Later in the year, at Champions Night 4 on June 19, Lee would win the Triple Crown Championship for a second time after beating Kento Miyahara. On July 14, at Summer Action Series - Night 2, Omori and Kodama lost the All Asia Tag Team Championship to Minoru and Toshizo. Later that night, Lee would lose the Triple Crown Championship to Suwama, ending his reign at 25 days.
The stable would later disband due to Lee leaving AJPW.
