Outlook - Hido was one of FMW's better talents and though he never was a top guy exactly, he was always near the top. Before the company headed into their fast downward spiral, he jumped off board to do hardcore wrestling in North America. He developed into a distinct personality, but the scene in America was not the best learning environment. Hido returned, not to FMW, but to Big Japan. He became BADBOY Hido in his ICP shirt, carrying nefarious gimmicks around and has resumed his spot as a top star on the Japanese indies. While his game is not as sharp as it once was and he seems to have lost much of his fire in his mid-thirties. Hido is married to FMW's star joshi wrestler Megumi Kudo and can pick and choose where he goes, so his slowing down is understandable. Injuries have nagged him and he is not of the caliber of death match wrestlers he is often paired with, but BADBOY Hido continues to have a certain aura that keeps him around.
