小川直也
In September 2004, although still based on Toryumon, Sugi and his partners started wrestling for the Hustle promotion. They appeared as the Hustle Kamen Rangers, a "Power Rangers"-inspired super sentai stable that worked as a special division of the Hustle Army led by top babyface Naoya Ogawa. Sugi himself played (a role formerly played by Masaki Okimoto), and teamed up with Hustle Kamen Blue and Hustle Kamen Yellow as a power trio. They competed in the undercard of events against villainous characters from the heel Takada Monster Army commanded by Generalissimo Takada; their usual opponents were Devil Pierroth I &amp; Devil Pierroth II, whom they defeated in many occasions.
