		Japanese ring action with a weird edge is presented by Frontier Martial Arts Wrestling (FMW) in this 90-minute compilation, which kicks off with the gleefully obnoxious announcers promising lots of blood, ball bats, and barbed wire.
		The wrestling action itself is lively, with a lot of aerial moves, but just when things could turn graceful, something utterly brutal comes along and restores the proper tone.
		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.

	Backyard wrestling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Backyard wrestling (or BYW), also used interchangeably with "backyarding", is a loose term used to describe the controversial practice of professional wrestling as performed by untrained fans (usually adolescent males) in an unsanctioned, non-professional environment.
		Wrestling on trampolines is also common, which allows for visually impressive moves to be performed with a minimal risk of injury.
		Backyard wrestling, and its forefather, professional wrestling, both reached greater popularity during the late 1990s and were the subject of disdain from the media.

		Not only was he one of the first of wrestling's strongmen, he pioneered the path to today's showmanship with his zest and flair.
		I watched a lot of wrestling in his day and I just loved the guy, but historically speaking, he does not deserve this high a ranking.

		Let me preface this by saying that I'm not a fan of hardcore, and to term hardcore bouts as "wrestling" is something that I believe is an inaccurate and dishonest term.

		After wrestling for the PWF in 1989, teaming occasionally with Brett Sawyer, Alfonso moved around, appearing in various promotions including a brief stint in the United States Wrestling Association (USWA) under the tutelage of Nate The Rat, a manager there.
		In one of the more bizarre moments in pro wrestling, Awesome- now under contract with WCW - returned to ECW for one night to drop the title to Tazz, who was under contract with the World Wrestling Federation.
		Awesome added that he would only wrestle "if the money was right," and added that he felt that he was underpaid for his performance at ECW One Night Stand 2005, due to the fact that Awesome felt that his match with Masato Tanaka stole the show.

	FMW (Frontier Martial Arts Wrestling): King of the Death Match for $10.76
		If you're a WWE fan watching this tape, you'll probably gain the first impression that this is a much lower quality of entertainment (and it probably is), but appreciation is gathered for this DVD by watching it more than once, and admiring the cool aspects (while trying to ignore the bad ones).
		Fans of American wrestling will be displeased at first (probably), but may find excitement in the stipulations, weapons, and hard-hitting impact.
		The tables used are of poor quality for pro wrestling, as they're very narrow and don't break as easilly as they should.

		Anyway, for these two videos, I maintain the fact that whether the dialogue is scripted or not, it doesn't work and it's stupid.
		Because I was able to switch to the Japanese audio track, I really didn't mind, and I was able to skip over their match intros and Snake Sister segments that add absolutely nothing to the wrestling.
		Most of the matches are from Yokohama circa December 1995.The quick opening match features a guy named Getkou who dresses in a patchwork outfit resembling that of a gecko.

		Tanaka has returned from the U.S. to the FMW insisting that he, not H, should be leading the FMW into the future, beginning a feud between two of the FMW's greatest stars ever.
		As the FMW and ECW Japan fight to become the pre-eminent hardcore wrestling promotion in the world, egos collide, and the war can only be settled one way: on the mat.
		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.

	Fmw
		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.
