I've been really getting back into FMW from reading BAHU's FMW website. It is really chock full of great insight and history on the promotion and the wrestlers. Take a look:

Also he's been doing a podcast on the history of FMW but, this also touches on other like promotions such as W*ING. Here's his post here on PWO:

BAHU is the master of FMW so, his top 100 FMW match list is another awesome resource that's listed on his site. I've been going over this list like all week- organizing it by year, how many top 10, 25, and 50 matches per year, how many top 100 matches the stars like Onita, Hayabusa, Goto, and Masato Tanaka have. I probably should have counted Kuroda as well! Here's the link to the original list:

1995 - (4 matches in the top 50)

Ontia vs Hayabusa 05/05 - #15

Hayabusa vs H. Oya 06/27 - #29

H. Oya vs Hayabusa 08/31 - #4

1996 - (8 matches in the top 50)

Matsunaga, W. Kanemura and Hido vs Hayabusa, Tanaka, Nakagawa 01/10

Matsunaga, W. Kanemura and Hido vs Tanaka, R. Fuji, and T. Kuroda 02/23 - #27

C. Toyoda vs M. Kudo 05/05 - #1

Hayabusa and M. Tanaka vs Terry Funk and Mister Pogo 05/05 - #24

K. Nakagawa vs TAKA 05/05

W. Kanemura vs M. Tanaka 08/01 - #20

M. Tanaka, T. Kuroda and K. Nakagawa vs Kanemura, H. Hosaka, and Hido 09/01 - #42

Hayabusa vs H. Oya 09/20

Terry Funk and Gladiator vs Hayabusa and M. Tanaka 09/24 - #48

Hayabusa vs TAKA 11/16 - #31

TAKA vs W. Kanamura 12/10

W. Kanamura vs Gladiator 12/11 - #43

M. Kudo vs S. Kandori 12/11

Hayabusa vs Great Sasuke 12/11

 

I'll have to wait to put 1997-2002 up but, from my count Hayabusa has 46 & Masato Tanaka has 31 of the top 100 matches to their credit. Hopefully, I'll be able to get more up tomorrow in this by year format. I'm hoping to use this list as a guide to go down the Frontier Martial Arts rabbit hole :)
