H and Mr. Ganosuke were set to battle Tanaka and Balls Mahoney. The match begins with Balls Mahoney viciously laying out H with a Nutcracker Suite Piledriver maneuver from the top ropes. H had to be dragged to the back and Mr. Ganosuke had to do battle with the ECW squad on his own. As the match progressed, Fuyuki runs into the ring and makes a big save, attacking Balls Mahoney and evening the odds. Despite how even things look, ECW took control and Tanaka threw Ganosuke onto a table and landed a big Running Forearm onto Fuyuki. Tanaka went back outside and strangled Ganosuke with a video cable. Fuyuki fought back and attacked Balls while Ganosuke hit a Missile Dropkick on the ECW and Independent Icon.
As things shifted back in favor for FMW, Tracey Smothers hit the ring for ECW and turned things back into a three-on-two advantage. Then out of nowhere, H came back to the ring with his mask back on, as Hayabusa. He immediately landed a Somersault Press on Tanaka before hitting his patented Centon-Asai Moonsault. However, Tanaka fought back hitting both Hayabusa and Mr. Ganosuke with a Gore. Tanaka landed a Splash from the top ropes, followed by one from Balls, then Hayabusa hit a Falcon Arrow only to get a two count. Hayabusa landed a Shotai Palm Blow, but Tanaka responded with a Roaring Forearm and the Diamond Dust to score the pinfall. Fuyuki turned face and Hayabusa returned, but neither helped FMW score the victory.
Highlights of this match were shown and Mr. Ganosuke was a bloody mess. Ganosuke put up a good fight, but Tanaka won with the Diamond Dust. H returned to the ring and challenged Tanaka. Before the challenge was complete, Mr. Ganosuke slaped his friend across the face. Ganosuke grabed the mic and says that while it may not be the best time to ask this question, he wanted to know what he actually is to H. Ganosuke wanted to know if he was nothing more than a foil for the ever-popular H. It looked like Ganosuke would go back to his heel ways, but H assured him that everything will be finished when they go to Backdraft. Tanaka attacked H with a chair to end the program.
This DVD was awesome. There was just so much going on here. I was amazed at how much they were able to pack onto this DVD. There were even two bonus matches as Flying Kid Ichiara took on Kanemura and H and Mr. Ganosuke battle Ooya and Kuroda in a WEW World Tag-Team Title match. The best part of this DVD was that it leaves you wanting more and I could not wait to find out what happened between H and Tanaka and what happened between H and Mr. Ganosuke at Backdraft. Readers will have to wait until the next issue. FMW is definetly one of the most innovative wrestling federations in Japan and the rest of the world. That, my friend, is not just my opinion; it's a straight up fact. FMW rules the roost.
