RIP Badboy Hido

One of the ultimate marrying up guys in professional wrestling, a scuzzy Juggalo garbage wrestler who somehow ended up wedded to Megumi Kudo. While not at the level of his wife, he had a cool career of his own, scraping the bottom of the Japanese indy world along with having some cool turn of the century US Indy matches. 

Badboy Hido vs. Bull Pain IWA-MS 6/1/01

PAS: This was one of the best US death matches of the 2000s, a barbed wire baseball bat match in first round of the 2001 IWA KOTDM , Pain is a masterful brawler, so good at making the little things look great, punches, spinning headbutt to the nuts, nasty stomps to the head. He also maybe the best baseball bat worker in wrestling history, he really makes it look like he is smashing someone with a baseball bat without breaking bones. Hido was right there with the brawling and bleeding, and they broke out some very cool spots using chairs and the barbedwire baseball bat. I loved Hido wrapping a chair around Bull's head and braining him with a chair shot, and the tope rope splash onto the barbedwire bat was nasty. Finish was really cool as Hido throws a chair in the air and drives it right into Bull's face with a lariat. Great creative plunder fight and a fun fist fight between two tough fuckers. 

Badboy Hido vs. Necro Butcher IWA-MS 7/7/01

PAS: Hido comes to the ring with Madman Pondo and a midget as a Juggalo heel faction. The start of this match was unexpected to say the least, as they work the first 5 minutes or so like a Jack Brisco match around a shoulder block exchanges and a knuckle lock. It of course eventually spills to the floor and gets grody, with some sick looking Necro flip bumps into chairs (including wiping out a fan). Hido is in beatdown mode for a while, and no one takes a bigger beating then Necro Butcher. The wildness keeps ramping up and Necro gets a bunch of lighttubes stuck in his shirt and smashed with a chair, and ends the match by lighting his leg on fire and landing a top rope legdrop. Hido looked great going toe to toe with big shots with Necro and is willing to be completely nuts, great little mini IWA run, I need to find his Cash Flo singles. 

Badboy Hido vs. Shadow WX BJW 4/28/02

PAS: Totally wild match which reads a bit like a shoot angle. Hido is really unprofessionally smashing refs with unpulled kendo stick shots, mauling a woman at ringside with a broken lighttube, getting into what looked like a fist fight with WX. More of a weird angle then a match, but it really delivered the rampaging on the edge violence. Felt like a Japanese version of the IWA-MS Tracey Smothers riot, which is about as a high a compliment as I can give a thing
