Wrestler Profile

Gabe Kidd

Gabe Kidd is New Japan's unfiltered id — a Nottingham brawler who came through the LA Dojo and emerged as the Bullet Club War Dogs' most unhinged weapon. Equal parts strong-style purist and chaos merchant, he treats professional wrestling as a legitimate fight that occasionally allows piledrivers on aprons.

His breakout came through violence and volume: unforgettable wars with Eddie Kingston and Tomohiro Ishii, Strong Style Championship gold, and promos that torch every fourth wall available. His matches carry genuine unpredictability — the sense that Kidd himself does not entirely know what happens next.

Young, loud and allergic to half-measures, Kidd has become the gaijin New Japan builds hostility around. WrestleRanks voters rank him on the chaos premium: appointment viewing, protective padding not included.
