Formation (2008) On February 17, 2008, Legend (
Akira and
Jyushin Thunder Liger) defeated
Prince Prince (
Minoru and
Prince Devitt) to capture the
IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. Post-match,
Tetsuya Naito and
Yujiro entered the ring to nominate themselves as the first challengers of the new champions, dubbing themselves "No Limit" in the process. Naito and Yujiro were at the time relatively unestablished up-and-comers, who had wrestled some tag team matches together in 2007, but did not start teaming regularly until February 2008. No Limit received their shot at the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship on April 13, but were defeated by Legend. Despite the loss, both Naito and Yujiro proclaimed that they were in the title picture to stay.
Junior heavyweight champions (2008–2009) On September 6, 2008, No Limit made their debut for the
Pro Wrestling Noah promotion to make a challenge for the
GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. They received their title shot on September 27, but were defeated by
Kotaro Suzuki and
Yoshinobu Kanemaru. Also in September, No Limit took part in
American promotion
Ring of Honor's event in
Tokyo, where they defeated
Genba Hirayanagi and Kotaro Suzuki in the opening match. Meanwhile, back in NJPW, No Limit went on a win streak over teams like Mitsuhide Hirasawa and
Taichi Ishikari,
Kazuchika Okada and
Nobuo Yoshihashi, Jyushin Liger and Yoshihashi, and Ishikari and
Ryusuke Taguchi, which culminated in them defeating Prince Prince on October 13 at
Destruction '08 to win the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship for the first time in their second title challenge. Later in the month, No Limit took part in their first
G1 Tag League, where they finished with a record of two wins and three losses, failing to advance from their
round-robin block. One of the losses against
Gedo and
Jado led to a rematch, No Limit's first IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship defense, on December 7. Accompanied by NJPW
Hall of Famer Kantaro Hoshino, No Limit retained their title, after Hoshino prevented the challengers from cheating. No Limit's title reign ended in their second defense on January 4, 2009, at
Wrestle Kingdom III in Tokyo Dome, where they were defeated by
The Motor City Machine Guns (
Alex Shelley and
Chris Sabin), representing the American
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) promotion.
Foreign excursion (2009) On February 15, 2009, No Limit defeated Gedo and Jado, Prince Devitt and Ryusuke Taguchi and Unione (
Milano Collection A.T. and Taichi Ishikari) in a four-way match to earn a trip to TNA to challenge The Motor City Machine Guns for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. No Limit received their title shot on March 31 in
Orlando, Florida, but were again defeated by The Motor City Machine Guns. No Limit remained in TNA for the next two months, during which they also trained at
Team 3D's local dojo. During their foreign excursion, Naito worked under only his family name, while Yujiro continued working under his given name. while also being featured on the
Impact! television program in a short-lived foreigner alliance with compatriot
Kiyoshi and
Sheik Abdul Bashir. Before the end of their stay, No Limit received another shot at the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship on April 19 at
Lockdown, but were defeated by The Motor City Machine Guns in a three-way
steel cage match, also involving
The Latin American Xchange (
Hernandez and
Homicide). No Limit's final appearance for TNA took place on the May 14
Impact, where they were defeated by
Kevin Nash in a
two-on-one handicap match. After leaving the United States, No Limit traveled to
Mexico to work with another one of NJPW's affiliate promotions,
Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). They made their CMLL debut on May 29 and remained with the promotion until the end of the year. During their stay in CMLL, No Limit aligned themselves with
Okumura as part of the
La Ola Amarilla ("The Yellow Wave")
stable. No Limit's first big CMLL match took place on July 31 at
Infierno en el Ring, where both members took part in a
Hair vs. Hair steel cage match. Naito was the last person to escape the cage, winning the match and forcing
Toscano to have his head shaved. At CMLL's
76th Anniversary Show on September 18, No Limit and Okumura teamed with the visiting Jyushin Liger in a "Mexico vs. Japan" eight-man tag team match, where they defeated
Atlantis,
Black Warrior,
Héctor Garza and
Último Guerrero. No Limit's run of victories continued later that month at the
Gran Alternativa 2009 tag team tournament, which Yujiro won alongside Okumura and the following month in a Hair vs. Hair match, where Yujiro defeated Black Warrior, forcing him to have his head shaved. No Limit's stay in CMLL culminated in their first big loss on December 4 at
Sin Salida, where they were defeated by
El Terrible and
El Texano Jr. in a Hair vs. Hair match and were, as a result, forced to have their heads shaved. The following day, NJPW announced that No Limit's foreign excursion was over and that they were returning to their home promotion.
Heavyweight champions (2010) Upon their return to NJPW, Naito and Yujiro transitioned from being junior heavyweights to being heavyweights, citing their successes working with heavyweight wrestlers in Mexico as a reason. Their return match took place on January 4, 2010, at
Wrestle Kingdom IV in Tokyo Dome, where they defeated Team 3D and
Bad Intentions (
Giant Bernard and
Karl Anderson) in a three-way
hardcore match to capture the former's
IWGP Tag Team Championship. During the match, Naito and Yujiro portrayed new
villainous characters, stealing the winning pinfall from Team 3D. In victory, No Limit became the first ever team to have held both the junior heavyweight and heavyweight IWGP Tag Team Championships. Instantly after their win, No Limit offered a title match to their CMLL rival team of El Terrible and El Texano Jr. Shortly thereafter, Yujiro began working under his full real name of Yujiro Takahashi. On May 3 at
Wrestling Dontaku 2010, No Limit, Bad Intentions and Seigigun's Yuji Nagata and
Wataru Inoue faced off in a three-way match, where Inoue pinned Anderson to capture No Limit's IWGP Tag Team Championship. A rematch under elimination rules took place on June 19 at
Dominion 6.19, where Bad Intentions captured the IWGP Tag Team Championship. A third and final three-way match took place on July 19 and saw Bad Intentions again emerge victorious, making their first successful defense of the IWGP Tag Team Championship. In October, No Limit took part in the
2010 G1 Tag League, where they advanced from their round-robin block with a record of three wins and two losses. On November 7, No Limit defeated Muscle Orchestra (
Manabu Nakanishi and
Strong Man) in the semifinals to advance to the finals of the tournament, where, later that same day, they were defeated by Nagata and Inoue.
Dissolution and aftermath (2011–2013) In early 2011, Naito began breaking out as a singles wrestler, most notably challenging
Jeff Hardy for the
TNA World Heavyweight Championship at
Wrestle Kingdom V in Tokyo Dome, which led to a storyline rift between him and Takahashi. However, on March 19, Naito and Takahashi seemingly made peace with each other and agreed to once more go after the IWGP Tag Team Championship, defeating
Hiroyoshi Tenzan and Wataru Inoue on April 19 to become the new number one contenders. On May 3 at
Wrestling Dontaku 2011, No Limit failed in their attempt to recapture the title from Bad Intentions, after which an angered Takahashi stormed backstage, leaving Naito behind him in the ring. No Limit was finally broken up on May 26, when Takahashi turned on Naito, attacking him with Chaos stablemates Gedo, Jado and
Masato Tanaka. Takahashi declared No Limit dead, before revealing that he was now the fourth member of Gedo, Jado and Tanaka's Chaos sub-group Complete Players. The two former members of No Limit had their first singles match against each other on June 18 at
Dominion 6.18, where Takahashi was victorious. The two had a rematch on August 1 during the first day of the
2011 G1 Climax, where Takahashi was once again victorious. A third match between the two took place on September 19 and saw Naito pick up the win. Naito gained another measure of revenge on not only Takahashi, but also Masato Tanaka in the
2011 G1 Tag League in October, when he and
Tomoaki Honma defeated Takahashi and Tanaka, costing them a spot in the semifinals of the tournament. When Naito suffered a legitimate knee injury in mid-2012, NJPW introduced a storyline, where Takahashi defeated Naito on October 8 at
King of Pro-Wrestling via referee stoppage, after causing further damage to his knee. In storyline, Takahashi was blamed for Naito requiring surgery to his knee. Naito returned from his injury on June 22, 2013, defeating Takahashi in a grudge match at
Dominion 6.22. Afterwards, Naito's singles career took off with him first winning the
2013 G1 Climax and then defeating Masato Tanaka for the
NEVER Openweight Championship. On October 14 at
King of Pro-Wrestling, Naito successfully defended not only his title, but also his status as the number one contender to the
IWGP Heavyweight Championship against Takahashi. Since then Naito and Takahashi have remained largely separated from one another, though their rivalry is sporadically brought up. ==Championships and accomplishments==
