New Japan Pro-Wrestling (1982–2006) Goto was an avid weightlifter during his university days, and achieved good results in competitions. After graduation, he studied karate, and in August 1982 joined
New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s dojo. He debuted against
Kazuo Yamazaki in December of that year, and performed young lion duties until 1986, when he first participated in the
Young Lion Cup, making it to the finals, where he lost to
Keiichi Yamada. After the cup, he carried out an overseas learning excursion to the USA. After returning, he became a prominent "heel" in New Japan. He participated in the first
Best of the Super Juniors tournament where he finished in 10th place with 9 points. In 1990, he became a member the "Blond Outlaws" with
Hiro Saito and
Norio Honaga, where he largely remained in the midcard only getting one title shot when he and
Super Strong Machine challenged
Kensuke Sasaki and
Hiroshi Hase for the
IWGP Tag Team Championship on December 11, 1990 in a losing effort. On June 12, 1990, he was given the nickname "Mr. BD" after giving a backdrop to
Hiroshi Hase which nearly killed him. After the Blonde Outlaws broke up, Goto later joined
Shiro Koshinaka's,
Heisei Ishingun in 1993 where he would form a longtime tag team with
Michiyoshi Ohara, known as the Mad Dogs. While in Ishigun, Goto would win his first championship when he teamed with Koshinaka and Ohara to defeat
Hiromichi Fuyuki,
Gedo and
Jado on January 8, 1995, to win the
WAR World Six-Man Tag Team Championship. After over 3 months as champions, Ishigun lost the titles on April 30, 1995 to
Genichiro Tenryu,
Animal Hamaguchi, and Koki Kitahara. For the next 2 years, Goto continued to represent Ishingun in feuds with
New Japan Pro-Wrestling and also briefly teamed with nWo Japan for several tours in 1997. After the collapse of Heisei Ishingun in 1999, Goto continued to team with Ohara and on June 27, 1999, they won the
IWGP Tag Team Championship from
Kensuke Sasaki and former leader of Heisei Ishingun
Shiro Koshinaka. After holding the titles for 2 months, the Mad Dogs lost the titles to
Yuji Nagata and
Manabu Nakanishi on August 28, 1999 at Jingu Climax. In 2000 he became a
Masahiro Chono loyalist, joining "Team 2000". After joining Team 2000, Goto would briefly continue to team with Ohara but the team quietly broke up towards the end of 2000. Afterwards, Goto would use several masked gimmicks. He first became "Mr. T" at the Do Judge!! event teaming with Chono to defeat Shiro Koshinaka and
Masanobu Fuchi. After Do Judge!!, Goto then became "T2000" Machine and feuded with
Super Strong Machine. In 2001, he reunited with old Blonde Outlaws partner
Hiro Saito, but the team was never pushed and remained in the midcard. The Blonde Outlaws’ only highlight was winning the 2003 Teisen Hall Six Man Tag Team Tournament with
Shinsuke Nakamura. From 2003 to 2004, The Crazy Dogs were in a feud with the
Makai Club, which ended after Ohara and Inoue left New Japan.
