FMW (Frontier Martial Arts Wrestling) - Legend Dawns

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. A featured match between female wrestlers "Bad Nurse" and "Mother in Law" begins with an onscreen title boldly announcing "Chick Fight," and a female wrestler known as "the Shark" is referred to by an announcer as "one mean butch bitch." The focus is never far from lowbrow humor and flowing blood, though there are some fairly acrobatic matches mixed in with the more brutal mayhem. Among the featured wrestlers are Americans Mike Awesome and Horace Hogan (said to be the Hulkster's cousin), Japanese stars Ricky Fuji and Hayabusa, and "Super Leather," who threatens opponents with a chainsaw (though his more common weapon is a folding chair). The coarse jokes and bloodiness of some matches makes this material inappropriate for children and those of a sensitive nature, but ring fans who like their wrestling down and dirty will relish it. --Robert J.

FMW (Frontier Martial Arts Wrestling ) - Crash & Burn

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
