F R E Q U E N T L Y A S K E D Q U E S T I O N S
-------------------------------------------------
1. Is Leatherface the same person as Super Leather?
No. Super Leather, FMW's answer to Leatherface, was played by someone else.
2. Did Mr Pogo wrestle under the name of 'King Pogo'?
Yes. It was to go along with the Great Nita gimmick which Onita went under. Pogo fought under
this gimmick at the Weekly Pro at Tokyo Dome card on April 2nd 1995.
3. Does W*ING still exist?
Yes and no. It no longer exists as an individual promotion, but still lives on in FMW, in a
group headed by W*ing Kanemura.
4. Did Matsunaga ever do a balcony dive?
Yes. In 1992, he landed on the Head Hunters.
5. What are the details of the Matsunaga/Leatherface chainsaw incident?
The incident happened in W*ING on 20th December 1992 during a Spike Nail Death match.
Mitsuhiro Matsunaga was in the ring first, waiting for Leatherface. Leatherface entered the
arena, waving a chainsaw in the air. Matsunaga went after Leatheface, and after throwing a
few punches, was kicked down to the ground and got the chainsaw ran over his head. It must be
noted that the chainsaw had no chain on it, so as to avoid any real damage.
6. What happened to IWA Japan's Horoshi Ono?
He retired after IWA's Kawasaki Dream card to become a chiropractor.
7. What is 'Champ Forum'?
It's a TV show in Japan which airs matches from the smaller, independent promotions (Big
Japan, Michinoku Pro, etc).
8. What did Mr Pogo and Terry Funk split up?
On June 5th 1996, Mr Pogo dropped Victor Quinones as his agent. Quinones had been Pogo's
agent for a number of years, and Pogo now decided that he wanted to retire in the FMW
Wrestler's Union. So, Quinones got Terry Funk to go out and get Pogo, which led to their
match at the Shiodome on 1st August 1996.
9. When did Hido break his neck?
There are two conflicting stories. The first says that the injury occured on 23rd August
1996, during the W*ING vs FMW death match. The other story suggests that it happened on 1st
September 1996 during the Nagoya 'Barbed Wire Bat' tournament, when Hido, Kanemura & Hosaka
lost to Tanaka, Nakagawa & Kuroda. He started getting re-hab in November, and return to the
ring on 12th March 1997, teaming up with W*ing Kanemura to beat Super Leather & Flying Kid
Ichihara.
10. Why did Sabu leave FMW?
He left on a mutual agreement and due to his contract. He signed up with FMW full time on
5th May 1991 at the Nagoya International Center, and the contract was signed for three
years. He had his last match at the 5th May 1994 at Kawasaki Stadium, teaming with Damien.
Despite the fact his contract had expired, Atsushi Onita got Sabu to signed a temporary,
four month, deal. Sabu's last FMW match was on 28th August 1994, when he lost to Hayabusa.
11. Why does W*ING have a '*' in their logo?
The '*' represents 'new stars'; W*ING stands for Wrestling's International New Generation.
12. How much of a key role did Victor Quinones play in Garbage Wrestling? What were his
relations with the wrestlers?
Quinones never really played a role in Garbage Wrestling. He simply was a promoter in Puerto
Rico, and didn't come up with any of the match ideas. That was left for Mr Asano and Atsushi
Onita.
13. Just how many stitches does Atsushi Onita have?
In excess of one thousand.
14. Do the Garbage groups use fake glass?
Most likely not. It would be too expensive.
15. Did Kendo Nagasaki ever go under the guise of The Great Kabuki in the US?
No.

Barbed Wire
~~~~~~~~~~~
The barbed wire format began to appear in the late 1970's/early 1980's, mostly in the
Southern Independent promotions, and in the World Wrestling Council. They were really only
used when a feud got so intense that nothing else would settle it.
The standard barbed wire match is to wrap horizontally three strands of the wire between the
ropes, stretching around all four ringposts. On occasions, the barbed wire was wrapped
vertically around the ropes (Spider Net). In these matches, anything goes, and victories are
settled by pinfall, submission or until a participant can't continue.
Over the years, the barbed wire has been used in different ways....
* Barbed Wire Cage
Many promotions have used this format, such as the now-defunct Smoky Mountain
Wrestling, the NWA and Tri-state. There are different variations of a 'barbed wire cage'
match. Sometimes, the cage was almost completely constructed out of barbed wire, while
other times a standard cage is simply put up when a barbed wire match is taking place to
stop any of the participants from running away.
The Japanese, of course, have taken the idea beyond this. In most of their barbed wire cage
matches, the barbed wire is wound in and out of the cage, and the wire is usually either
electrically charged or primed with small explosives. Also, the ropes are completely
removed, resulting in maximum carnage.
* No-Rope Barbed Wire
At first, this style of match was only promoted in Japan. More recently, ECW have held
events like these, but not very often. Basically, in a no-rope barbed wire match, the ropes are
completely removed and replaced with razor-sharp barbed wire. The matches are
generally fought under Streetfight rules, and always results in horrendous bloodshed.
There are, of course, much more lethal variations. One example is the no-rope exploding
barbed wire match. This is when the wire is either electrically charged or primed with small
explosives. When the wrestler's skin brushes against the wire, there are small explosions.
* Barbed Wire Baseball Bat
W*ING were the first people to stage barbed wire baseball bat matches, and they were only
really contested on a few occasions.
In the standard barbed wire baseball bat match, a bat wrapped in barbed wire is placed
in the centre of the ring. Both participants stand at opposite sides of the arena. After the
count of ten, they rush down to the ring, and the first to pick the bat up can legally use it on
his opponent.
Barbed wire baseball bat matches like the one described above, to my knowledge, haven't
been contested for a while. However, baseball bats wrapped in barbed wire are often used as
added extras in more dangerous matches. For example, in a no-rope barbed wire match,
there may be a baseball bat lying in the ring, which can be used on opponents. Or perhaps,
in a ladder match, a barbed wire bat is hung in the air.
They are usually now also set on fire, just to inflict that extra damage on the opponent.
* Barbed Wire Bumps / Barbed Wire Boards / Spider net
In a barbed wire bumps match, at ringside, there are huge boards laden with truckloads of
barbed wire. Inside the ring, a pretty normal match takes place, but when either wrestler is
thrown out of the ring, it gets a little more brutal.
Barbed wire bumps matches can be a little boring at times, because a large percentage of
the contest is spent with either wrestler trying to eject the other from the ring and onto the
steely barbs.
Barbed wire board matches are basically the same, except there is much less barbed
wire involved. In a barbed wire bumps match, ringside is completely covered in wire, but in
a barbed wire boards match, there are individual boards surrounding the ring, which can be
easily picked up and used on the opponent.
Spider Nets are when two sides of the ring have barbed wire vertically wrapped around the
ropes. Because the WWC was the first promotion to do this, the spider nets are often called
'Caribbean Spider Nets'.
Also, in FMW, Mr Pogo & Atsushi Onita contested barbed wire bumps matches where, at
ringside, mixed in with the wire, were landmines. Landmine matches usually only occur
outside. The only one to be contested inside was held on 28/8/94, where Onita fought Aoyagi. Onita
was horribly cut up during the match. Also, in December 1994, at an arena in Tokyo (not
Korakuen Hall), FMW held a series of matches with Onita (under the Great Nita gimmick) and Tarzan
Goto (under his Ho Chi Ming) gimmick against Mr Pogo and Kisakatsu Ohya, which had landmines
at ringside.
* Barbed Wire Brick
The IWA is the only promotion to have sanctioned barbed wire brick matches. Basically, at
ringside, there are piles of bricks with barbed wire wrapped around the centre of
them. They can be legally used on your opponent in any way. In the Terry Funk vs Cactus
Jack finals at Kawasaki Staduim on 20/8/95, there were bricks underneath the ring. Also,
Leatherface & Cactus fought Nakamaki & Ono on 7/3/95 in a Barbed Wire Brick match, plus in April
1995, Cactus & Crypt Keeper fought Nakamaki & Leatherface.
* Barbed Wire Ladder
This is basically the standard ladder match, except the ladder is wrapped in barbed wire.
* Double Hell Matches
Double Hell matches are when exploding (or non-exploding) barbed wire is put up at two
sides of the ring, and the other two are left with nothing. However, at ringside on the empty sides,
there are huge boards laden with barbed wire and landmines/explosives (and sometimes
glass). This makes it a lot easier for a participant to fall out to ringside.
* Barbed Wire Chain
Shoji Nakamaki fought Hiroshi Ono in 1994 in a Barbed Wire Chain match. Also, in 2/94,
Freddy Krueger faced The Winger in a barbed wire strap match. Krueger beat Winger after he took
the strap off his wrist wrapped it around Winger's body and then piledrived him.
Glass
~~~~~
It was proposed that, on December 8th, 1993, Atsushi Onita would face Mitsuhiro Matsunaga
in a 'Wonder Crush Death' match, where the ring would be surrounded by a cage made out of
glass. And on the glass, would be rows and rows of small explosives. An insane idea, all
right, and Onita realised this, as the idea was shelved in favour of a no-rope exploding
barbed wire match.
However, the 'glass' idea was out, and the Japanese fans were craving it. It was
actually the IWA who had the first glass death match. During the Headhunters short feud, the
two contested in such a match. The twins then went on to fight Shoji Nakamaki & Horishi
Ono in one as well. The IWA's format was this: at ringside there were wooden crates, about the size
of a door, and each had a pane of glass in them. There were four in total, two at two sides of
the ring. The other two sides had barbed wire boards. You could break the glass and dig it
into your opponents head or throw them into the crate.
FMW have combined barbed wire and glass into the 'barbed wire glass platform'. This is a
platform at ringside, constructed from barbed wire and wood, with plates of glass lying on
top. This was used in the Cactus Jack/W*ing Kanemura confrontation at the 1996 Kawasaki
Baseball Stadium Show, and also at the Shiodome match on 1st August, which saw Mr Pogo fight
Terry Funk.
In the United States, broken glass has been used in matches. In ECW in July 1995, Ian
Rotten faced Axl Rotten in what was called a "Tiapaid Death match". Both wrestlers superglued
pieces of jagged, broken glass to their hands.
Glass was also used in an independent promotion in New Jersey, USA. Ian Rotten faced
Mad Man Pondo in a "Barbed Wire, Broken Glass, Thumbtack, Mouse Trap Death Match".
Nails
~~~~~
Wrestling's International New Generation were the first group to sanction a Spike Nail Death
match. Basically, to win, you have to make your opponent take a bump on the huge planks of
wood infested with six-inch nails at ringside. To my knowledge, W*ING only promoted two such
matches, both between Leatherface and Mitsuhiro Matsunaga. In the first meeting the two psychotic
men had, Leatherface ran a chainsaw over Matsunaga's head!
The IWA and FMW have also sanctioned matches which involve nails. In FMW, Super
Leather had a weapon, which looked like a large toothbrush, but with nails instead of bristles. He used it
against Mitsuhiro Matsunaga during their third 'Spike Nail' match on 5/9/95.
Swimming Pool

FMW sanctional a Swimming Pool match on 25th September, 1994...

Atsushi Onita/Katsutoshi Niiyama/Mr. Gannosuke vs Mr. Pogo/Gladiator/Hideki
Hosaka (Eliminination Tag match; wrestlers can be eliminited via pinfall,
submission or being thrown into the pool)
Thumbtacks
~~~~~~~~~~
The IWA was the first promotion to stage a 'Thumbtack Match'. Basically, there is a tray
placed in the middle of the ring, and into it are poured thousands and thousands of thumbtacks. You
can throw your opponent into them, drive your opponents head into them, or do absolutely
anything you like with them in order to win the match!
Big Japan Pro Wrestling staged a 'Thumbtacks In Balloons' match on 22/5/96. The match,
which saw Axl Rotten and Shoji Nakamaki lock up with Kendo Nagasaki and Seiji Yamakawa, had six
black balloons suspended above the ring. At a certain point in the match, the balloons exploded
and released 30,000 thumbtacks onto the ring.
Perhaps the most violent thumbtacks match took place at the IWA's Kawasaki Dream card
on 20/8/95, where Shoji Nakamaki fought former tag team partner, Hiroshi Ono. Nakamaki
actually powerbombed Ono into the thumbtacks, which made one of the sickest ever bumps.
Fire
~~~~
Fire is a regular ingredient in Garbage matches. One of the first fire matches was held in
1992, and saw Tarzan Goto & Atsushi Onita clash with Sabu and his 68-year old Uncle, The Sheik.
Huge, petrol-soaked rags were wrapped around the barbed wire, then set alight. Promoter Onita
was forced, however, to abandon the idea when the Shiek slipped into a coma a few months after
the match due to heat-induced injuries.
W*ING, however, staged a similar match on 31/10/96, which saw Yukihiro Kanemura being
powerbombed onto a huge inferno of flames. The IWA have also staged fire matches, where
buckets are hung from the ropes, and in them are rags, which are set alight.
Mitsuhiro Matsunaga fought Mr Pogo in a Fire Death match on 2/8/92. Huge containers with
raging fire in them were put up at ringside. The ropes were completely taken down. The two fought
again in another fire match on 29/8/95. This was similar to a Double Hell match, only with poles
with the ends set on fire pointing into the ring.
