Jado & Gedo (邪道&外道 Jadō & Gedō) are a professional wrestling tag team that currently work in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), where they are also the head bookers. One of the most accomplished tag teams in puroresu, the team has won numerous tag team titles and six-man tag team titles in over seven promotions.
Both Jado and Gedo debuted for NJPW on March 19, 1989. Early on, Jado used the name Punish, while Gedo used the name Crush. The two were part of the TPG (Takashi Puroresu Gundan), until it broke up, after which the two left New Japan.
Jado and Gedo eventually joined Gran Hamada's Universal Lucha Libre (UWF) promotion, where they became the first UWA/UWF Intercontinental Tag Team Champions on November 8, 1991 by defeating Silver King and El Texano. They would hold the title for nearly eight months, before losing them to Scorpio Jr. and Shu El Guerrero on June 15, 1992. Six days later on June 21, Punish and Crush won the title back for a second time, but vacated them immediately as the two decided to split up. By 1993, UWA/UWF closed and Punish and Crush decided to go to W*ING.
After UWA/UWF closed, Punish and Crush jumped to W*ING in 1993, where Punish was able to win the W*ING/WWC Caribbean Heavyweight Championship, but their tenure proved to be short lived as W*ING closed in early 1994.
After W*ING closed, Punish and Crush joined Genichiro Tenryu's WAR promotion. It was in WAR that the two started going by their more famous names, Jado and Gedo. While in WAR, the two would get their big break as they formed an alliance with Hiromichi Fuyuki and would dominate WAR Six Man Tag team Division for years to come. The three would defeat Tenryu, Animal Hamaguchi and Kouki Kitahara in a tournament final on June 30, 1994 to become the first WAR World Six-Man Tag Team Champions.
