FMW (Frontier Martial Arts Wrestling ) - Crash & Burn description
Welcome to the bizarre and brutal world of Frontier Martial Arts Wrestling (FMW), where contestants gleefully choking each other with barbed wire is commonplace and it takes flaming torches used as cudgels to get the crowd really excited. These wrestling matches from Japan have a decidedly weird edge to them, with the announcers promising plenty of blood while declaring "this isn't cartoon wrestling, Monday night soap opera wrestling." Watching an unfortunate gladiator with a flaming pant leg hop about in agony as blood streams down his face seems to validate that claim. The announcers provide plenty of toilet humor in English, and even the subtitles (translated from Japanese) are sprinkled with a hefty dose of obscenities. Among the wrestlers are favorites Tanaka, Matsunaga, and "Mr. Pogo," women wrestlers such Sub Miss Sato and "Mother In Law," and a trash-talking American bad guy, Mike Awesome. Some of the wrestlers specialize in acrobatic "flying" moves, but the emphasis is on brutality, as tables, chairs, barbed wire, and--oh boy--flaming torches, are all used as weapons. A lot of the wrestling is fairly graphic, with "juice job" cuts to the head producing a lot of blood in some matches, so this material is inappropriate for children or squeamish adults. But those who want wild and weird action might find this style of ring work appealing. --Robert J. McNamara |

Super Review #9

| I have seen FMW in ECW over the years, but not genuine Japanese FMW. ECW fans will love seeing the familiar faces ; Mike Awsome (2 matches) ; Masato Tanaka (2 matches) ; Kanemura (2 matches)and Hayabusa (3 matches). The Tanaka vs. Awsome is another classic, if not as bone crunching as the ECW Awsome vs. Tanaka fights. Hayabusa is as entertaining as ever, providing FMW's equivalent of RVD. There are 2 barb wire matches ; the first with barb wire ropes and flaming torches, the 2nd with barb wire boards in the corners. Now - the badness. The comentators are rubbish and come over as gays, which is not good. The promos, with exception of Awsome's are in Japanese with subtitles. Sum it up? A good example of FMW, but a little boring in places, and not up to the class of ECW. |
