Tomorrow on November 20th will mark the 17th Anniversary of this site. It remains the longest active English website for Japanese Pro-Wrestling. I really do not know how much longer I will be able to continue the site. I do hope this site makes it to 18 at the very least. Running this website is something I still love to do but the product is not something I love (and I have been watching every FREEDOMS show since the beginning to give it a shot). Stuart's Puroresu Fan site closing down last year also kind of showed that even with a popular product that updating a site for years and years will result in burn out even with someone that has a passion for it. It is why I always just update this news page once a month or so to avoid that type of burn out. You have to really love what you are covering to do something this long and I hope as the FMW wrestlers that I loved get older and with Kanemura retiring next year that I can still love what I am doing to keep this site at a high level of quality that is acceptable for my standards.

Super Battle FMW ran their first ever show on April 21, 2015 at the Aomori Hirosaki Kawanishi Physical Education Center announcing 1200 fans although the real number was around 200-300 fans for the show. The main event of the show was the FMW team of Atsushi Onita, Masato Tanaka, and Hideki Hosaka defeating NOSAWA Rongai, Monster Leather, and Monster Freddy which I do not know the wrestlers under the masks yet in a Barbed wire Board Death Match as Onita got the win at 12 minutes, 48 seconds with a Thunder Fire Powerbomb.

Super Battle FMW's second show at the Sendai Miyagino District Cultural Center did not announce a crowd officially but Atsushi Onita specifically mentioned 85 fans during his promo at the end of the show. The main event saw Atsushi Onita, Masato Tanaka, and Hideki Hosaka defeated NOSAWA Rongai, Super Shooter, and Monster Leather when Onita once again pinned NOSAWA at 10 minutes, 30 seconds in a Barbed wire Board Death Match with the Thunder Fire Powerbomb. Onita's ending promo announced that only 85 fans had attended this show but that Super Battle FMW will continue to grow like his FMW continued to grow in its early stages. The lineup was switched around from the originally announced lineup as once again the semi-main event was a W1 only match with KAI and Seiki Yoshioka defeating Andy Wu and Shotaro Ashino when Yoshioka got the win with a Swanton Bomb on Ashino. Ray and Kagetsu defeated Miss Mongol and Hirota Sakura when Kagetsu got the win over Sakura at 18 minutes, 4 seconds wit the Funotsuki.

Battle Ranger teamed up with Kikutaro defeated Ricky Fuji and Wild Bear after Ranger got the win with the Tornado Shoot in the opening match.

No results have been posted for the Super Battle FMW show on April 23, 2015. I saw pictures of the show and it was certainly under 100 fans. The main event saw another change in the lineup as Atsushi Onita, Masato Tanaka, and Hideki Hosaka defeated Super Shooter, Monster Leather, and Monster Freddy when Onita pinned Shooter with the Thunder Fire Powerbomb. The women's match saw Ray and Hirota Sakura defeat Miss Mongol and Kagetsu when Sakura pinned Kagetsu.

The big show will take place on April 27, 2015 at the Tokyo Shinjuku FACE. Hayabusa will be appearing on this show.

The womens match will have Miss Mongol and Ray against Kaori Yoneyama and Kagetsu as well as a six man match which will see Battle Ranger, Ricky Fuji, and Andy Wu against the Monster Army of Gosaku Goshogawara, Monster Leather, and Monster Freddy. The opening match will be a comedy match with the two masked wrestlers Wild Bear against Kikutaro.

As the first tour of Super Battle FMW comes to a close there seems to be a few answers to the questions that were had by people. This promotion is closer to Super FMW than FMW. It is very Onita's promotion mixed with W1 guys and the indy sleazy masked horror wrestlers like Leatherface and Freddy Krueger that really were more W*ING than FMW but they are used because they can have random cheap wrestlers portray gimmicks that were once used in FMW. The first show announced 1200 fans with around 200-300 fans in the building although the original FMW use to announce 1200 fans for a poor showing for a house show when they only had around 500-800 fans attend a show. My main issue with the promotion already is the inconstancies that are not a good long term sign. The poster for every Super Battle FMW show lists names like Atsushi Onita, Hayabusa, Mr. Gannosuke, Tetsuhiro Kuroda, Kintaro Kanemura, Flying Kid Ichihara, and Mammoth Sasaki on the show. Mammoth Sasaki and Hayabusa did not do any house shows this time around but will be appearing at the Tokyo Shinjuku FACE show. Tetsuhiro Kuroda is suppose to appear on the May shows. Flying Kid Ichihara after being announced as being a part of the ownership of the promotion has not been heard of. Mr. Gannosuke and I am going to guess Kintaro Kanemura falls in this as well has no idea why his name was even on the poster as he has not heard anything about competing for the promotion yet. Tomohiko Hashimoto is randomly listed as one of the wrestlers on the roster on the web page even though there has been no mention of him competing on the shows. Add that with the lineup switches the days of the show and so few fans attending the second show in Sendai that Onita has to bring up the lack of fans in a promo, and the third show in Fukushima had so few fans that the promotion is already acting like that show never existed that this could not be the start the promotion wanted. But I am guessing that sponsors promoted those shows and the Tokyo Shinjuku FACE will be the show that will make or lose money depending on the shows success so it does deserve more than a week to get its act together but this first week was not a good first impression for a small promotion getting media attention because of the name its using. 

Atsushi Onita promoted his own show following the Super Battle FMW tour as he ran at the Fukushima Iwaki Shipping Gym on April 25, 2015. No results have been released for this show either. But I was able to find that Atsushi Onita, The Winger, and Hideki Hosaka defeated Ichiro Yaguchi, Onryo, and Kenji Fukimoto when Onita pinned Onryo with a Thunder Fire Powerbomb in the main event. Mr. Gannosuke teamed with Ricky Fuji as he faced off against Tetsuhiro Kuroda for the first time since his retirement match on December 27, 2008 who teamed along with Guts World's Daisuke with Kuroda and Daisuke getting the win when Kuroda used the Samson Clutch on Ricky to get the win in a match that went over 19 minutes.

FREEDOMS ran their April 16, 2015 show at the Shin-Kiba 1st Ring drawing an announced 162 fans for the show. The main event saw Masashi Takeda and Daisuke Masaoka defeat Takashi Sasaki and GENTARO in a Fluorescent Light Tubes Death Match at 18 minutes, 35 seconds when Takeda nailed his German Suplex on GENTARO for the win. GENTARO's chest was cut up and bloody from competing in the ring covered in broken glass he continues to prove he can compete in the Death Match style of wrestling.

Mammoth Sasaki and Kamui defeated Hi69 and Toru Sugiura as Sugiura is still upset that Mammoth chose Kamui as his tag team partner over him and ended up getting hit with the 29 Years Old at 12 minutes, 38 secodns for the loss. Susumu Yuyu defeated Dyna Mido at 9 minutes, 36 seconds after making him submit to the Cross Armbreaker.

Super Battle FMW held a press conference in Shinagawa, Gotanda, Tokyo on April 3, 2015 to officially announce the start of the Super Battle FMW promotion. Gotanda, Tokyo was symbolic because that is where the original FMW's office use to be held. A banner of the old FMW logo that Shark Tsuchiya created back in 1991 was set up. Hideki Takahashi, Hayabusa, and Battle Ranger were the first ones to come out for the press conference. Hideki Takahashi stated "It has been 13 years since FMW has been dormant. I have finished my old job and would like to restore FMW again." Battle Ranger then stated "The Old FMW is not being dragged out. I would like to make a new FMW." Hayabusa then stated "When Mr. Takahashi first asked about me joining I could not give him an answer. But when Mr. Takahashi brought in Onita I decided that I would participate in FMW also. I will do as much cooperation as possible to the utmost. It will not just be alumni or nostalgia but it will be a new experience to create a new FMW." Hayabusa stated he did not know what his official role with the company and that he will not be able to attend all shows but would attend as many as possible. Hayabusa responded to a question about Onita stating "Mr. Onita and I are like cats and dogs, but there is no ill feeling in particular. We have an ordinary relationship." 

Mr. Takahashi stated that Hayabusa was aiming at returning and undergoing rehabilitation strenuously." Mr. Takahashi stated this FMW can be the target for Hayabusa to return to like the old FMW was. When asked about if this would be like the original FMW or Kodo Fuyuki's Entertainment FMW, Takahashi stated that when it is necessary to do, an Exploding Death Match is possible. They then announced the scheduled dates for both April and May. Takahashi stated he had to work around Onita's Super Fireworks schedule to conflict with those dates. NOSAWA Rongai came out and announced that he and Kazunari Murakami will be a faction called the Monster Troop and that they will be a "terrorist" to the new promotion. Mr. Takahashi accepted the entry of NOSAWA to the promotion as an outside group. The announced wrestlers Atsushi Onita, Ricky Fuji, Masato Tanaka, Gosaku Goshogawara, Battle Ranger, Kikutaro, KAI, Andy Wu, Seiki Yoshioka, Shotaro Ashino, Miss Mongol, and Ray.

Atsushi Onita challenged Yoshihiro Takayama on March 21, 2015 at the Fukuoka Hakata Star Lanes for the Super Fireworks Championship in a No Ropes Exploding Barbed wire Exploding Baseball Bat Death Match. The first explosion would be caused after Takayama would kick Onita in the face causing him to fall into the explosions. Onita would then take it outside with Takayama while bringing a barbed wire bat as a weapon before bringing Takayama back in the ring and sending him in the exploding barbed wire with his shoulder. Takayama would come back by tossing Onita into the explosion and then placing him in a arm bar with Onita having to grab the barbed wire that would explode on his hand to break the move. Onita would then use a drop toe hold to have Takayama fall face first into the exploding barbed wire. Onita and Takayama would then begin brawling before both would end up hitting the exploding barbed wire together. Onita would then turn on the exploding barbed wire bat and smash it across Takayama to get the pinfall victory at 14 minutes, 59 seconds to win the Super Fireworks Championship which is his first singles title victory since winning the FMW Brass Knuckles Heavyweight Title back on May 4, 1995 a day before his original retirement in FMW. The VooDoo Murderers would jump Onita after the match with TARU issuing a challenge for the Super Fireworks Title. Onita would accept the challenge although a date has not been announced as Onita would get up and do his usual promo to the crowd and then pose with his newly won title. The only match so far scheduled for Onita in April is on April 18th as he will team up with Hideki Hosaka against Masato Tanaka and Takashi Sugiura in a Exploding Barbed wire Baseball Death Match at the Takaoka Techno Dome. After the Fukuoka show, Atsushi Onita met with Battle Ranger and accepted his offer to wrestle for the Super Battle FMW promotion.

Mr. Gannosuke returned to the ring just 11 days following a broken rib bone. Gannosuke who injured himself on March 17th at the Battle Ranger show in a Street Fight and was force to pull out of the FREEDOMS Korakuen Hall show 6 days later was able to tough it out for the Finals of the GWC Tag Team Tournament as he teamed with Guts Ishijima as they faced off against Kenichiro Arai and Shota. Ishijima did most of the work as Gannosuke majority only did double team spots as well as his signature spots like the Praying Powerbomb. The finish saw Arai on the outside grab one of the GWC Tag Team Titles and smash it over Ishijima's head as his head was between the roads results in Ishijima falling back and Shota managing to school boy him for the win of the tournament as well as the GWC Tag Team Championship. Gannosuke stated that he was in a a lot of pain during the match especially when running the ropes but over the last couple of days he has been able to be pain free when it comes to just simply walking around due to what he said was because of taking a lot of calcium since the broken rib. Gannosuke's next match will be on April 7th for his Kishindo Returns single match against his student Yuko Miyamoto which will take place.
