Ogawauchi received his biggest break in 2003. Crazy Max, arguably the greatest stable in Dragon System history, declared they were looking for a new member. However, fans were shocked when
Ogawauchi retired from active professional wrestling in February 2004, tearfully citing herniated cervical vertebrae which were causing numbness in his left arm.

Pro Wrestling Secret Base (2009-present)
Following El Dorado's closure, several former members formed Pro Wrestling Secret Base, a small scale continuation of El Dorado wrestling out of
