Outlook - What a career turnaround Gedo has had since walking out on FMW. He's been reborn as one of the best junior heels this side of Dick Togo. His style is much more refined and fitting for a Southern heel (as weird as that is) like Gedo. He and Jado are an awesome team and have really spiced up New Japan's junior tag division and Team 2000 when they came in. They've managed to stay over as heels and are the perenneal IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag champions, which is a role they might hold for some time now.
