A very enjoyable sprint at a raucous Korakuen Hall.

This is an interpromotional match and there's big heat for the FMW team. If you like fat out-of-shape guys flying all over the place, as I do, then this is one to watch. Kanemura is a total loon here--he's covered in blood before the match even begins and bumps like a madman and also delivers some great flying and bomb-heavy offense. It's tornado rules so there are pin attempts and heart-stopping saves all over the place. Not a match that will change the world but one of the better bouts in W*ING history for sure.

This match rules. Everyone came to fight as the majority of them are wearing torn up jeans, boots and beat up tank tops and some of them are already bleeding before the match or have a bandage over their covering up cuts from previous matches. This is a tornado tag street fight and there's just brawling all over Korakuen Hall while the crowd goes bananas. Early on in the match, Tanaka takes a wild piledriver from Hido on a table. When the guys get back to the ring, this turns into a bomb fest and Hosaka pulls off a really cool sitout spinebuster counter to a tornado DDT from Tanaka. They get some great near falls in the finishing stretch, however the ref. botches a count and accidentally counts to 3, but says there was a kickout and he allows the match to continue. Really great stuff and everyone looked really good aside from Kuroda who was actively bad whenever he the guy featured on video. He hit Hosaka with some embarrassingly bad strikes, but Hosaka was smart enough to no sell them.
