Outlook - Have Gedo, Will Travel. Jado has been doing a lot of traveling all over the island since the turn of the millenium. Like his name translates, his way is the "outlaw way." Though he became a star in the garbage feds, Jado and Gedo have shown they're two of the best junior heels wrestling's ever seen. In his mid-thirties, Jado has proven that the outlaw mentality can work and now he's settled into a comfortable role in New Japan. While many consider Gedo the star of the tag team, Jado cannot be overlooked. He is an excellent heel with a much more traditional style than his brawling partner. The pair are a great match and are continuing to be a threat after over a decade together.
