[8.0] "Kido is indeed a brainchild of Gotch. A small man at height, full techniques at weight. The man could pull a pin hold out of nowhere at any given or non-given time, that the only things the opponent could do were open their mouths and wide open their eyes in shock. Also, thanks to him we have Shinsuke Nakamura, Hirooki Goto, Toru Yano, Ryusuke Taguchi and many more of those big stars we know and love."
