On January 7, 1998, Gannosuke, Kanemura and Hido lost a street fight to ZEN's Atsushi Onita, Koji Nakagawa and Tetsuhiro Kuroda at ZEN's first promoted show. After the match, Fuyuki-Gun joined Gannosuke, Kanemura and Hido in attacking ZEN and both groups merged to form Team No Respect. Hido was involved in a hilarious skit of TNR in which the group mocked Hido's legitimate wedding with Megumi Kudo by holding their own wedding of Hido and Jado as "Megumi Jado" in their white underwears. On March 29, Hido and Kodo Fuyuki defeated their own TNR teammates Mr. Gannosuke and Yukihiro Kanemura to win the Brass Knuckles Tag Team Championship. They lost the title to Hayabusa and Masato Tanaka on April 17.
