Hideo Takayama (高山 秀男 Takayama Hideo, born October 19, 1969) is a Japanese retired professional wrestler, better known under the ring name Badboy Hido (BADBOY非道 Baddobōi Hidō) or simply Hido (非道 Hidō). He is best known for his time with hardcore wrestling federations Big Japan Pro Wrestling (BJW), Independent Wrestling Association Mid-South (IWA-MS), Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (FMW) and Wrestling International New Generations (W*ING).
Hideo Takayama made his professional wrestling debut for Wrestling International New Generations (W*ING) against Masahiko Takasugi in a losing effort on January 20, 1993 at an interpromotional show between W*ING, Michinoku Pro Wrestling (MPW) and Union Pro Wrestling (UPW). Takayama picked his first win against Ryo Miyake on October 23. At Odawara Brazing Night in Odawara, Takayama developed himself as a villain by shortening his given name to "Hido", but lost to Takashi Okano. Hido would lose most of his matches during his early career in W*ING but learnt the garbage wrestling style of W*ING which would continue with him throughout his career. He began feuding with Yukihiro Kanemura, which culminated in a loser leaves W*ING street fight on February 15, 1994, which Hido lost, forcing him to leave W*ING. Coincidentally, W*ING disbanded shortly after Hido's departure from the promotion.
