Katsumi Usuda is one of the most popular and richest Professional Wrestler who was born on March 17, 1970 in Japan.
A student of Yoshiaki Fujiwara, Usuda debuted in Pro Wrestling Fujiwara Gumi at the age of 23, going to a 30 minute time limit draw with Carl Greco. He took part in the 1994 Challenge Cup, where he was beaten by Shoichi Funaki in the final. After 2 years and limited success in PWFG, Usuda and the rest of the roster all followed Yuki Ishikawa in an exodus on November 19, 1995, after Ishikawa discovered that the sponsors of Fujiwara Gumi planned to massively restructure the roster and change the landscape of the entire promotion.
The entirety of the PWFG roster (bar Fujiwara himself) jumped to Battlarts, including Usuda, who was pushed as a top star in the junior heavyweight division and primarily feuded with Minoru Tanaka, with the two trading victories back and forth early in the promotions life. In 1998, Usuda won his first championship, beating Minoru Fujita for the BJW Junior Heavyweight Championship. Usuda successfully defended the belt against Carl Greco and Ikuto Hidaka, before dropping the title to Fantastik in December. In May 1999, he partnered up with Carl Greco to win the Onikobe Tag Team Tournament, beating Daisuke Ikeda and Ikuto Hidaka in the final. Usuda’s stock in Battlarts continued to rise, and on May 11, 2000 he beat longtime rival Minoru Tanaka to win the Independent World Junior Heavyweight Championship. His reign was short lived, however, as he lost the belt to newcomer Naoyuki Taira in June. He also competed in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW)’s Best of the Super Juniors in June 2000, finishing last in the whole tournament with just four points. Usuda managed to get back to winning form in late 2000, beating Taira in November to win back the Independent Junior Title, and also winning the 6 Man Elimination Tag Team Tournament with Hiroyoshi Kotsubo and Takeshi Ono in December. After Battlarts closed its doors in late 2001, Usuda was forced to vacate the Junior title and go freelance.
