Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling is a Japanese Professional Wrestling promotion founded by Atsushi Onita in 1989. He started it due to the two main promotions, Antonio Inoki's New Japan Pro-Wrestling and Giant Baba's All Japan Pro Wrestling, rejecting his ideas about how "everything should be allowed in Puroresu". Onita expanded on the brawling style he had encountered in Jerry Lawler's Continental Wrestling Association in Memphis, Tennessee and the use of barbed-wire in the World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico. Baba derisively labeled the FMW style "Garbage Wrestling", though it is more respectfully labeled "Hardcore." While Onita was the focus, and many Japanese wrestlers (W*ING Kanemura, Masato Tanaka, Hayabusa, Tarzan Goto, Mr. Gannosuke) made their names there, it also was the promotion where American wrestler Mike Awesome made his career as "The Gladiator" and also where Sabu first made his name, and, as a result of competing in no-rope barbed-wire matches, became the "scarred-up freak" the world would come to know and love. Much of what FMW pioneered would later be brought to US audiences via ECW. The company closed down in 2002. It was revived in 2015, with Hideki Takahashi as president and Hayabusa as the main producer, now calling the company Cho Sento Puroresu FMW, with Atsushi Onita promised to participate in some form as well, which turned out to be in the ring!Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })FMW's Anniversary Show, generally held on May 5, was the show that the whole year centered around. The Revival paid tribute to the tradition with a three day FMW 25+2 Anniversary Series Origin Return.The basics can be found at The Other Wiki. "Frontier Martial-Arts Tropes": | |
