Outlook - Tetsuhiro Kuroda seemed like a likely casuality of FMW's death. He has found opportunities however. Kuroda was really emerging into a fine top star in the group with good heel charisma and solid in-ring work. While he does not have the size or ability to make it in a top company, Kuroda has the personality to make it everywhere else. Kuroda has worked in FMW offshoots, the tinest indies and the largest indies as well as HUSTLE. Like Kintaro Kanemura, Kuroda's hard work and distinct persona has gotten him regular work. He is entertaining to live crowds and can be a very good worker when it is required of him. Although his potential as a top star will probably never come to fruitition, Kuroda is a utility upper midcarder with color that will keep him around for years to come.
