Just days before his return to the ring at Kawasaki Stadium, Hayabusa has been doing several talk shows hyping the show and main event, at one of the restaurants he was doing an interview for, out of nowhere he was attacked Tetsuhiro Kuroda and Mr. Gannosuke and was beaten down in front of everyone and began to attack his ankle while the people in the restaurant watched on. Coming into the May 5th show, Hayabusa's arms will be in good enough shape to perform to the best of his ability, but it will still take a little while longer for them to heal completely, but what has been bothering Ezaki the most is his ankle, which has been injured for a very long time still, and will be still bothering him a lot going into the Kawasaki, which was the reason his foot was ran over by Motorcycle at the beginning of the 4/15 Korakuen Hall show, which was a very good show ran by FMW with an awesome main event and was a really good setup for Kawasaki with Gannosuke and Kuroda beating down Hayabusa & Sasuke and Gannosuke pulling off Sasuke's mask and wearing before leaving Hayabusa & Sasuke beaten down in the middle of the ring.
A day after attacking Hayabusa in the restaurant, Kuroda & Gannosuke spent the entire day together, hanging out bars and doing promotional hype for the Kawasaki Stadium and then later heading out to the mountains to test the explosions that will be used for the Hayabusa & Great Sasuke vs. Tetsuhiro Kuroda & Mr. Gannosuke main event match up on May 5th.

At the March 13th Korakuen Hall show, Tetsuhiro Kuroda defeated Kintaro Kanemura to become the Number 1 Contender for Fuyuki's WEW World Title. Kuroda will most likely get the Title shot in April. During the match, Kanemura busted Kuroda open with a chair, causing Kuroda to do a blade job that would ultimately become a huge gash causing blood to spill out everywhere. Eventually, the retired Mr. Gannosuke who had been seen a month earlier backstage hanging around his long time friend Kanemura ran into the ring with a Masked Sumo masked and clothesline Kanemura and would then hit Kanemura with the Fire Thunder to later setup the bloody Kuroda to hit the Technan Buster on Kanemura for the three count.

Team Kuroda over the last few weeks have staged two attacks of their hated wrestlers. First they attacked Fuyuki on 2/11 in Fukuoka after the show when Fuyuki was getting on his bike after finishing one of his meals. Then earlier this week, Team Kuroda staged another attack on Michinoku's Great Sasuke on the streets of Tokyo where they stripped of Sasuke of all his clothes and left him naked on the streets of Tokyo battered and bruise. This would set up the main event on 2/23 at Korakuen Hall, Team Kuroda's Tetsuhiro Kuroda & Mammoth Sasaki against Kodo Fuyuki & Great Sasuke. As the match was going on, and Kuroda had the advantage on Sasuke, Hayabusa ran out all decked out in the Hayabusa uniform ran to the ring and began to attack Kuroda and all the members of Team Kuroda sitting at ringside, this would let Sasuke get a small cradle on Kuroda for the win.
News broke earlier this morning in Japan, that Masato Tanaka, Jado, Gedo, Kaori Nakayama, and Hideki Hosaka are no longer in FMW. Rumors have been spreading around about Masato Tanaka leaving FMW for the last 2 years, all of which have never been completely accurate, but there has never been mention of the other four, especially Jado (Shoji Akiyoshi) and Gedo (Keiji Takayama) who have been long time friends with FMW booker, Kodo Fuyuki. As of right now, Masato Tanaka, Jado, and Gedo are still the WEW 6 Man Tag Team Champions, and Masato Tanaka and Gedo are still the WEW Tag Team Champions.

Tetsuhiro Kuroda & Kyoko Inoue will not be getting married. The stipulation was added to the main event at the 2/6 Korakuen Hall match, that the only way Kuroda and Kyoko would get married is if Kyoko pinned Fuyuki. Instead she was the one that was pinned by Fuyuki after Kuroda made sure of Kyoko not getting the pin as he would help Fuyuki kick out every time Kyoko would try and pin Fuyuki, and would ultimately lead to helping Fuyuki get the pin on her. After the match, a shocked Kyoko began asking Kuroda why he did what he did, but would get made fun of disrespected by Kuroda causing Fuyuki to go over to put a stop to Kuroda verbally abusing his friend, but as a result Fuyuki would get punked out by Team Kuroda. Then Hayabusa who had been doing color commentator during the match and The Masked Sumo who had made his first appearance in FMW earlier in the show came out to confront Kuroda as Kuroda mockingly made fun of Hayabusa before and after the match. But then as the two confronted each other, The Masked Sumo would turn on Hayabusa and the beat down would begin resulting in Kuroda getting a folding chair and pillmanizing one of Hayabusa's injured arms. As Team Kuroda would walk off celebrating their accomplishments and left the injured Hayabusa laying in the ring, all of a sudden the Michinoku Pro theme played and out came The Great Sasuke who went to the ring and helped Hayabusa up. There was a few tense seconds where they stared at each other, but they would end up leaving together. The Great Sasuke will make his return to FMW since the 12/11/96 show, he will team up with Kodo Fuyuki to wrestle Team Kuroda's Tetsuhiro Kuroda and Mammoth Sasaki in the Main Event of the Korakuen Hall show on 2/23.

At the 12/20/00 Korakuen Hall show, GOEMON rose from the dead and became the the vengeful ghost's partner to defeat Shinjuku Shark and Naohiko Yamazaki.

the ECW World Title at the November to Remember, he will give Fuyuki a shot at
it at the 11/23 Yokohama Arena Show. The match will still be a Loser Leaves FMW

News out of the FMW 10/18 Show, H got a small bit of revenge on Hayabusa
(Gannosuke) as he blew fire on The Imposter Hayabusa to setup for the Anus
Explosion Match on 10/29, and then H grabbed the mic and told everyone that he
"Grilled a Bird" this was said, because when Ezaki was under the
Hayabusa gimmick, Gannosuke and Kanemura would always mock Hayabusa by referring
to him as a "Bird" and now with Gannosuke using the gimmick, it was
time for Ezaki to finally mock Gannosuke.

As you know Ezaki goes by the name H now, as you
can see from the picture above and main page he has now dyed his hair blue.
But now an angle is starting as Mr. Gannosuke has proclaimed himself the NEW
Hayabusa, you can see a picture of him with the Hayabusa gimmick on the result
page.
This is to humiliate H with Gannosuke using the gimmick, and even further more
Gannosuke has done a porno under the Hayabusa gimmick which Fuyuki owns, and
which will be sold in Japan in November.
