This is what they meant by the clash of egos. Since defeating Fuyuki and sending him out of FMW, Masato Tanaka has sensed that despite his loyalty to FMW, the fans and his friends have turned against him. He believes they are cheering H and former heel wrestler, Mr. Ganosuke. He feels that FMW is giving these two wrestlers the majority of the title shots and forgetting about Tanaka. Tanaka states that H used him in his battles and tossed him aside like garbage when Ganosuke offered his hand in friendship.
The accusations didn't bother the new team as H and Ganosuke defeated Ooya and Kuroda for the WEW World Tag-Team Titles. Both men stated that they understood Tanaka's anger, but believed that he would understand that they were all still teammates and Tanaka would get over it. Since that time, H, Ganosuke and Tanaka were forced to team up against members of Team No Respect. After the team got the victory, Tanaka refused to celebrate with his teammates and walked away. This animosity led to Tanaka teaming with Kuroda to battle the WEW World Tag-Team champions in a brutal battle for the titles.
The match started off with Tanaka and Ganosuke exchanging vicious slaps across the face. Tanaka landed a Vicious Spear and for much of the beginning for the match, he and his tag partner work on a weakened Ganosuke. Ganosuke fought back and using an STF Submission Maneuver only to have Tanaka reverse it to take total control. Tanaka landed a vicious looking Dragon Leg Screw, on Ganosuke's leg as Kuroda worked on Ganosuke's arm. However, everything changed as H is tagged into the match and used his highflying maneuvers to crack skulls. First, H landed a Somersault Press on Tanaka followed by a Slingshot over the ropes into a Legdrop. H demonstrated his power with a Fisherman Bomb with a two count followed by a Famouser; he ended with a Tiger Driver. Ganosuke then got into the ring, and the tide turned once again as H is revealed to be the strength of the team.
Ganosuke fought back and landed two Brutal Belly to back Suplexes on Kuroda, but the tough-as-nails Kuroda stood up after each shot, only to get hit with a powerful Clothesline and a two count. This was an exciting match with many two counts that could have easily turned into three counts had it not been for the remarkable strength of each combatant. These guys were wrestling extremely stiff for throughout the match. Things would continue to heat up as H hit a beautiful Frankensteiner on Tanaka. Ganosuke would showed that larger people can be great technical wrestlers, wrapping up his opponent for a two count. However, Ganosuke's move was one-upped when Tanaka hit a combination DDT and Stunner on H and Ganosuke. Tanaka continued with a Diamond Duster, a flip into a Diamond Cutter. However, Tanaka made the mistake of allowing Kuroda to get involved.
Kuroda started off well, but H took over the match, landing the Falcon Arrow and a two count followed by the 450-Degree Firebird Splash and another two count. H then hit the H-Edge and another two count. Finally, H landed a H-Thunder, a Piledriver like maneuver that allows H to pin Kuroda and get the victory. Tanaka upset and made another challenge, before grabbing an ECW shirt and walking out with Balls Mahoney and Axel Rotten. H promises to make Tanaka aware that FMW is his home.
