damn replays, July 31, 2001
By A Customer
I was really disappointed with this video. The main reason for my disappoitment is the stupid highlight videos (instant replays)that kept on popping up during the matches. I hated these highlight videos because they ruined the flow of the match. It wasn't like they showed the videos while the wrestlers were laying exhausted on the floor doing nothing (like after a wrestler hits a plancha and then rests on the arena floor for a little while). They would do these instant replays during the middle of heated action. I remember even missing a 2 count (u could hear the ref counting to 2 in the background) due to one of the instant replays. What made it even worse was that the same instant replays that were shown during the matches, were also shown after the conclusions of the matches. What was the point of showing the same clip twice? I really hope that FMW will get rid of the instant replays for the next tape it produces.

This is NOT "King Of The Death Match" - But its still great!, June 6, 2001
This review is from: FMW (Frontier Martial Arts Wrestling) - Yokohama Deathmatch (DVD)
I know this has not been released yet, but I know what event it is from, reading the statment in the last lot of FMW DVD's. It is not the IWA "King Of The Death Match" like eveyone thinks its is, but it does still feature Cactus Jack and Terry Funk. What this tape is, is a copy of the Japan only released:
FMW Yokohama Arena "Megumi Kudo Retirement Show" Commercial Tape 4/29/97
The matches at the event were:
Ricky Fuji & Ricky Morton v Hido & Dragon Winger
Crypt Keeper & Flying Kid Ichihara v Tetsuhiro Kuroda & Nanjyo Hayato
Koji Nakagawa v Katsutoshi Niiyama
Kaori Nakayama & Michiko Omukai & Chikako Shiratori & Mizuki Endo & Yoko Ikeda v Miss Mongol & Eagle Sawai & Crusher Maedomari & Michiko Nagashima & Lioness Asuka
Kodo Fuyuki & Jado & Gedo v Hisakatsu Oya & Headhunters *FMW 6 Man Street Fight Tag Titles*
Hayabusa v Mr. Gannosuke *Hair vs. Mask*
Atsushi Onita & Masato Tanaka & W*ING Kanemura v Cactus Jack & Gladiator & Terry Funk *Texas Western Street Fight Death Match*
Megumi Kudo v Shark Tsuchiya *No Rope Barbed Wire Electrified Death Match*
I'm not sure which of these matches made it onto the tape (The info given says there are only 7 matches in total make it onto the DVD)
The event was a masterpiece with the last match being a true great. This one I know is on the tape, as well as the one featuring Cactus Jack, and also the match with Hayabusa - as the info in the last batch of FMW DVD's talked of Hayabusa being unmasked, along with the return of Cactus and Terry, aswell as the retirement match of Kudo.)
Well worth you hard earned bucks, or pounds sterling as we have in the UK!

FMW Is Hardcore, December 9, 2001
I have watched this DvD and must say that for anyone who is a fan of TRUE Hardcore wrestling they should get this. For those unfamiliar with FMW, it is the TRUE Originator in Hardcore, Extreme Wrestling. It was the first to have the King of the Deathmathc Tournamet. It originated using lightbulbs, electrified barbwire, and EXPLOSIVES!!! The matches on the tape are some of the most extreme I have ever witnessed and I have been watching and following wrestling for 20 years. If you like Extreme and want to see the Real Mick Foley, AKA CACTUS JACK, and witness one the greatest wrestlers in the world before his injury, HAYABUSA, then Get this tape because if you don't then you are truly missing out.
