Team No Respect
For over two years
this controversial stable was apart of the main angles, the main feuds, and
the main money making matches for FMW.
After Atsushi Onita would disband W*ING on September 28, 1997 at Kawasaki Stadium, he would denounce himself as a FMW wrestler. He would take a trip to the hospital with the former W*ING Kanemura as the two would talk about creating their own group.
Atsushi Onita would announce on September 30, 1997 the creation of ZEN. The group would consist of Atsushi Onita, the three former W*ING wrestlers in Yukihiro Kanemura, Hido, and Hideki Hosaka. As well as FMW wrestler Tetsuhiro Kuroda.
In October 1997, The Funk Masters of Wrestling which had been the lead heel group for over a year was finally crumbling as all the members begin fighting upon one another while feuding with ZEN. Soon Mr. Gannosuke & The Gladiator would join ZEN while Hisakatsu Oya would join the FMW team.
While in ZEN, Mr. Gannosuke & Yukihiro Kanemura would begin forming a unique bond and friendship upon one another as the two would get the most heel heat throughout the night as the two had amazing chemistry upon one another.
FMW would run a show Komazawa Olympic Stadium on December 19, 1997, the main
matches would be Gannosuke and Kanemura defending the Tag Titles against
Hayabusa and Jinsei Shinzaki, and Onita would be wrestling Masato
Tanaka. Onita took it upon himself to book his match against Tanaka as
the Main Event of the show, and make the Tag Title match in the undercard. This
really upset Mr. Gannosuke who was really coming into his own. Onita and
Gannosuke got into many heated backstage conversations in which Gannosuke was held
back by Kanemura and Hido who were clearly siding with
Gannosuke.
Gannosuke and Kanemura would go on and successfully defend the
FMW Brass Knuckles Tag Team Titles against Hayabusa and Shinzaki, while Onita defeated Tanaka in the
Main Event and went on to praise Tanaka after the match. This really upset Gannosuke who yelled at Onita for giving respect to someone in FMW.
Onita
then booked a match at Korakuen Hall for December 22, 1997 which would be a 6
Man War Games Style match which consisted of ZEN's Onita, Gannosuke, and
Kanemura taking on FMW's Hayabusa, Masato Tanaka, and Jinsei Shinzaki.
During this
match Gannosuke and Kanemura parted to themselves and only helped Onita to kick
out. But in the end Gannosuke and Kanemura were down and Hayabusa had laid Onita
down and climbed the top of the cage and did a Moonsault fifteen feet in the air
to get the pin on Onita for the victory. Gannosuke and Kanemura looked up at the
fallen and beaten Onita and begin unleash the frustrations by tying him up the
cage and slapping him and beating the crap out of him with a chair which ZEN
member Kuroda tried to make the save but was quickly dumped out and then Koji
Nakagawa a wrestler who had been fired by FMW because of money problems who was
brought back and then left the FMW team because of lack of trust ran in the cage
and got Gannosuke, Kanemura, and Hido running.
January 6, 1998 at Korakuen Hall, Mr. Gannosuke
was given a shot at the FMW Double Titles which consisted of the Brass Knuckles
Title and Independent Title against Masato Tanaka. Much blood was lost in this
match, mostly to Tanaka's arm which had been bladed to death by Gannosuke, and
as Tanaka seemed to have the match won Gannosuke rolled him up and got the 3
count and became the New FMW Doubles Titles Champion.
January 7, 1998
Atsushi Onita ran his first ZEN show at Korakuen Hall in the main event Onita,
Nakagawa, and Kuroda defeated Gannosuke, Kanemura, and Hido in a 6 Man Street
Fight after Nakagawa rolled up Hido, but after the match something very
historical would happen as Fuyuki-Gun which was lead by Kodo Fuyuki with Jado
who were very anti ZEN came out and helped Gannosuke's group beat down Onita.
They all quickly left after the beat down and all went to the locker rooms
together. In the locker rooms, Kanemura held up a piece of paper and proclaimed
this group of Gannosuke, Kanemura, Fuyuki, and Jado the group "Team No
Respect".
At the very next show on January 16, 1998 in Yokkaichi, Mr. Gannosuke, Yukihiro
Kanemura, and Jado won the FMW 6 Man Street Fight Titles against Hayabusa,
Masato Tanaka, and Hisakatsu Oya after Jado pinned Oya. As they were being
presented the belts, Gannosuke tore up pushed away Arai who was presenting the
belts and tore up and then pulled down their pants to show their white briefs to
show the lack of respect they had for anyone.
February 6, 1998 at
Korakuen Hall, Gannosuke and Kanemura defeated Jinsei Shinzaki and Hisakatsu Oya
after Gannosuke made his rival of almost a year pass out after choking out him
the ropes which had broken off the ring. After the match, Gannosuke grabbed the
mic and proclaimed for the first challenger for his Double Titles, he wanted a
worthy challenger and that President Arai should setup a 8 Man Tournament to
proclaim the Number 1 Contender.
At the house shows of the tour, Former
Funk Masters of Wrestling member Super Leather had begun a bond with the group
and started helping them out in their matches, and would later be inducted in.
Other Fuyuki-Gun member Gedo returned to FMW was let in the group as well.
February 13, 1998 at a show promoted by ZEN at Korakuen Hall Hall, Atsushi Onita, Koji
Nakagawa and Tetsuhiro Kuroda would win back the FMW 6 Man Street Fight Belts after
beating Gannosuke, Kanemura, and Jado after Nakagawa would out a bloody
Kanemura for the win.
February 19, 1998 at Korakuen Hall, Kodo Fuyuki
would ran a show where Mr. Gannosuke and Yukihiro Kanemura would defend the FMW Brass
Knuckles Tag Team Titles
against ZEN members Koji Nakagawa and Tetsuhiro Kuroda. Before the match FMW
referee Go Ito was on crutches after a beat down by TNR after not getting the
decision they felt they deserved was to announce the match and present the
Titles to the winner of the match. But it resulted in Nakagawa climbing to the
top rope and Go Ito jumping on the top of the apron and breaking the crutches
over Nakagawa for the easy victory for TNR. After the match Go Ito revealed
himself as the newest member of Team No Respect and went to back with Gannosuke
and Kanemura and began smoking with them as a disrespect he had for
everyone.
In the main event, Kodo Fuyuki got one of the biggest wins of his
career as not only did he unmask and bloody up Hayabusa but he beat him clean in
the ring, after the match he was boasted up TNR's shoulders to shower in the
glory of his victory.
The FMW number 1 contenders Tournament was now
coming up, and Kanemura and Jado were placed in the tournament. Both of them got
victories as Go Ito distracted the referee for Kanemura to defeat Nakagawa, as
interference caused Jado to beat Kuroda and move in the tournament. But in the
Semi Finals The Gladiator quickly destroyed Kanemura before Gannosuke got a
chance to interfere, and Gannosuke's interference backfired on Jado as he ended
up hitting Jado and causing Hayabusa to get the victory.
March 13, 1998
at the Sapporo Nakajima Sports Center in a show ran by ZEN, TNR would be taking
on ZEN in a 8 Man Street Fight as also had a mystery partner in the match. The
partner turned out to be Horace Boulder who destroyed Onita quickly as TNR took
apart the rest of the ZEN members as they handcuffed Hideki Hosaka to the
turnbuckle and had Nakagawa and Kuroda laid out which caused the beaten Onita
to take on Boulder, Gannosuke, Kanemura, and Jado. Even with the handicap
advantage Fuyuki still came in the match and knocked out Onita with a running
clothesline while Go Ito came in and smashed a crutch over Onita's back knocking
him out completely. TNR then all surrounded Onita and put one foot over him for
the victory as Gannosuke was given the pinfall decision. TNR began to stand over
the fallen Onita and began to do the Team No Respect dance until Onita woke up,
which caused them to quickly get out of there but the 150 pound Go Ito wasn't
fast enough and got a Clothesline and Thunder Fire Powerbomb as a result.
March 17, 1998 at Korakuen Hall, beginning to get very
over as the heel group, TNR would announce the newest member to their group,
Hayabusa. It would turn out to be Kanemura in a Hayabusa outfit. Kanemura would
grb the mic and begin to cry to
mock Hayabusa and then pulled down his pants to reveal the briefs and announced
that he joined the group. Later in the show, Kodo Fuyuki and Gedo came out in a
match against Kuroda and Nakagawa, with Fuyuki coming out to Onita's music and
ring attire, stitches all over the place, and water bottle to against disrespect
Onita. In an eight man Street Fight Gannosuke, Kanemura, Boulder, and Jado
defeated Masato Tanaka, Jinsei Shinzaki, Hisakatsu Oya, and Ricky Fuji when
Boulder pinned Ricky, but during the match Shinzaki and Gannosuke who had become
arch rivals got a very big heated which caused both sides to have to break it
up.
March 29, 1998 in Niigata, Team No Respect would challenge each
other as Kodo Fuyuki & Hido would manage to be the ones to finally dethrone
Mr. Gannosuke & Yukihiro Kanemura for the FMW Brass Knuckles Tag Team
Championship after Fuyuki would lariat Kanemura for the win.
April 14, 1998 at the Sapporo Nakajima Sports Center,
Fuyuki and Hido quickly dropped the Tag Titles to Hayabusa and Masato Tanaka
after the match, due to a pre-match stipulation Hido had his head shaved. After
this match, Hido had proven his worthiness to finally become a member of Team No
Respect.
April 21, 1998 at Korakuen Hall show, a show which would build
to FMW's big Yokohama Bunka Gym show, Jinsei Shinzaki finally would defeat Mr. Gannosuke
in a non-title Street Fight to finally get his revenge which had built for over a
year as he was leaving FMW after the Yokohama Bunka Gym show.
April 30, 1998 at
the Yokohama Bunka Gym which had started out a Team No Respect show as Jado and
Gedo defeated Ricky Fuji and John Kronus when Jado pinned Kronus, Super Leather
and Horace Boulder who was wrestling in his last FMW match defeated The
Gladiator and Tetsuhiro Kuroda when Boulder pinned Kuroda. Jinsei Shinzaki still
manage to defeat Yukihiro Kanemura in his last match, as Go Ito interfered in
the match and ended up getting a corkscrew leg whip and a Nirvana Strangle as a
result and Kanemura then fell victim to the Praying Powerbomb for the 3 count to
Shinzaki. The biggest result on the show though was Kodo Fuyuki defeating
Atsushi Onita in a singles match with TNR's interference allover the place which
again resulted in Go Ito getting the crap beat out of him, but Fuyuki still
walked away the victor in one of the biggest matches of his career. In the main
event, Mr. Gannosuke wrestled Hayabusa who had won the Number 1 Contenders
Tournament after defeating The Gladiator. In this match, Hayabusa dropped kicked
Gannosuke very early in the match and caused Gannosuke to injure his knee, but
Gannosuke still managed to finish the match and put on a hell of a match before
Hayabusa finished off Gannosuke with the Phoenix Splash for the victory and the
Double Titles. As a result of the injury, Gannosuke would be out of action for
over 6 months.
This would begin Stage 2 for Team No Respect, but
certainly not the end of Team No Respect as Atsushi Onita was holding a ZEN show
on his day, May 5, 1998 against Fuyuki, Kanemura, and Hido for the 6 Man Titles,
at the end Team No Respect won the match and the FMW 6 Man Street Fight Titles
after Hido pinned Nakagawa to win the 6 Man Titles. After the match though, Go
Ito out and made the fallen Onita bow down and kiss his foot. FMW President
Shoichi Arai tried to stop from having Onita be embarrass at his show, and tried
to reason with Go Ito. As a result Arai was force to kiss Go Ito's foot and they
still forced Onita to kiss his foot as well. In the locker room, Fuyuki held an
interview stating that with Gannosuke out with the injury, that he would take
over leadership of Team No Respect. Also in the backstage, Onita and Arai
reformed their friendship which had been lost after Onita retired from FMW the
first time on May 5, 1995. Onita was announced that he was ending
ZEN.
May 19, 1998 at Korakuen Hall, Kodo Fuyuki and
Yukihiro Kanemura formed a Tag Team which would later be named The New Footloose
and went on to defeat Koji Nakagawa and Tetsuhiro Kuroda. After the match,
Fuyuki stated that they needed a new member since Gannosuke would be out with
the injury, and offered Tetsuhiro Kuroda the spot and tossed him a pair of
briefs. Kuroda threw it in Fuyuki's face but was beat down as a
result.
May 25, 1998 Fuyuki began to get power and started booking his
own matches, he would book a TNR vs. ZEN match, and if ZEN lost, the person that
would be pinned would have to be a slave for TNR. And as a result, Hosaka who
was pinned would have to be a slave for them.
May 26, 1998 the same
stipulation was added to another TNR vs. ZEN match, which Kuroda lost, and would
have to join Hosaka as TNR's slave.
May 27, 1998 at the Fukuoka Hakata Star Lanes,
the new tag team of Kodo Fuyuki & Yukihiro Kanemura would defeat Hayabusa
& Masato Tanaka for the FMW Brass Knuckles Tag Team Titles after Kanemura
would roll up the departing to ECW Tanaka for the titles.
May
31, 1998 Team No Respect took up their slaves to the bleachers and made them
watch a match between Fuyuki and Kanemura who were defending the Tag Titles
against Onita and Nakagawa to make sure they didn't try to make the save for
what would happen. As Onita and Nakagawa were kicking Fuyuki and Kanemura's ass
which also had Onita pile drive Fuyuki through a table, and as Onita seemed like
he was finally going to get his revenge on Fuyuki, Go Ito jumped on the apron
with a crutch, but Nakagawa grabbed him and took the crutch away from him and
from behind smashed the crutch over Onita's back as a shocked crowd couldn't
believe what they had seen. Fuyuki, Kanemura, and Nakagawa began to all take
shots at Onita until Onita finally fell for the 3 count to Fuyuki's charging
lariat. Go Ito grabbed the mic and proclaimed the newest member in replacement
of Gannosuke, Koji Nakagawa.
June 1, 1998 in Osaka, TNR would vacate the 6 Man
Titles and had a match against Hayabusa, Masato Tanaka, and Hisakatsu Oya for
the titles. TNR advertised that they would have a mystery partner who turned out
to be Koji Nakagawa who ended up rolling up Tanaka for the 3 count and the 6 Man
Tag Titles.
In the locker rooms Nakagawa began to beat the crap out of
his ex friends Kuroda and Hosaka to show his loyalty. Go Ito also pointed out
Super Leather who had lost the last 3 matches, and began to scream at him, and
told him that he would wrestle Hido and the loser would have to Team No
Respect.
June 19, 1998 at Korakuen Hall, Hido and Super Leather wrestled
all over the arena in a Loser Leaves TNR match, and as Leather seemed like he
was about to beat Hido and send him out of TNR, Gedo and Kanemura jumped in the
ring and began to beat down Leather and rolled Hido over Leather for the 3
count. Go Ito then grabbed the mic and publicly fired Super Leather in front of
everyone. In the main event of the show, Hayabusa, Hisakatsu Oya, and Ricky
Fuji brought out Battlarts Daisuke Ikeda as a mystery partner to makeup for
Masato Tanaka who wrestled in his last match before going to ECW for the next 6

Arai until Atsushi Onita came back for the save. With Onita back, Go Ito came up
with a stip for a match. If Fuyuki, Nakagawa, Kanemura, and Go Ito could beat
Onita, Pogo 2, Sasaki, and Arai then Arai would have to resigned from being
President, but if they won then Hosaka and Kuroda could be set free for their
slavery.

to Powerbomb him off the top rope.In the end, Kuroda was too easy of a prey
for Fuyuki's running clothesline for the victory and to successfully defend the
FMW Double Titles, but before any celebration occurred Hayabusa ran to the ring
and flew off the top rope into the waiting arms of Fuyuki as the crowd began
throwing bottles of trash in the ring. TNR began to lay out Hayabusa with
Powerbombs until Masato Tanaka came in the ring which caused Fuyuki to run off.

The two then fight to the ring where Kanemura begins hitting supplexs causing Yamakawa to land straight on his head and then Kanemura finishes it off with a Powerbomb for the victory for recapturing the WEW Hardcore Championship. Koji Nakagawa, Jado, and Gedo defend their WEW 6 Man Titles against Former Team No Respect member Willie Takayama, and his mentor Willie Williams, and his students Bouzu and Megane. Takayama is forced to wrestle all three wrestlers basically as all Willie Williams would do is sit in the corner and scare off the Team No Respect members, and Bouzu and Megane would quickly run away once their opponent was off their feet. In the end Jado easily manages to take care of Bouzu and Megane while Nakagawa hits Williams with a lowblow and then sets him for Gedo to hit a Superfly splash and then Nakagawa goes over and puts Willie Takayama's shirt over his head and puts him in a camel clutch for the submission and the victory.
May 28, 2000 at Korakuen Hall, Koji Nakagawa, Jado, Gedo defend their WEW 6 Man Tag Team Championship against Kodo Fuyuki, Kyoko Inoue, and Chocoball Mukai. In the middle of the match, it seems like Team No Respect has the win after Nakagawa had grabbed one of the belts and smacked it over Chocoball and Kyoko's head, but as Gedo turns his back Nakagawa goes over and smacks him in the back of the head with the belt and is then quickly laid out with a Fuyuki clothesline for the pin and the WEW 6 Man Tag Team Championship while Nakagawa hits Jado over the head with the belt. Almost two years to the day of joining Fuyuki and Team No Respect, Nakagawa double crosses Team No Respect and once again aligns himself with Kodo Fuyuki. Nakagawa later changes his name to GOEMON a popular Japanese thief as he becomes a full fledge member of Kodo Fuyuki's new Shin Fuyuki-gun stable which consist of Kodo Fuyuki, Mr. Gannosuke, GOEMON, Kyoko Inoue, Hideki Hosaka, Yoshinori Sasaki, and Chocoball Mukai.. Kintaro Kanemura, Jado, and Gedo remain the only members in Team No Respect.
June 16, 2000 at Korakuen Hall, Kintaro Kanemura comes out during a Shoichi Arai interview and announces that after almost 2 1/2 years of being the dominant stable in FMW, he has decided to finally end Team No Respect and that Jado and Gedo will be on their own while he is going to join up his old friends Mr. Gannosuke and Hideki Hosaka and is joining Shin Fuyuki-gun but will continue to do the TNR Dance as a memory of the most dominant stables in FMW history.
Team No Respect would return on September 14, 2002 at WEW's Tokyo Differ Ariake Show as Hido would turn on Tetsuhiro Kuroda in a 6 man match and reform the group with Kintaro Kanemura and Kodo Fuyuki as they would merge with Dick Togo and former TNR member Masao Orihara's Far East Connection group. The group would silently end once again in 2003. Also in 2003, the world would lose a main member of the Team No Respect in Kodo Fuyuki on March 19th due to cancer. Many wrestlers from different promotions along with Kintaro Kanemura would show respect to Fuyuki by doing one last TNR Dance at his funeral. The TNR Dance still remains alive in 2004, as The Apache Army which consists of many of the former TNR members of Kintaro Kanemura, Mr. Gannosuke, GOEMON, and Hido with Go Ito as their manager while running the Fuyuki Army Promotion. The group would even bring back the Brief Brothers four years later after having their briefs crucified by Atsushi Onita and perform skits just like the glory days of Team No Respect. Even though those glory days of Team No Respect ended after the November 23, 1999 Yokohama Arena show, Team No Respect will always be remembered for the creative actions that took place due to the group whether they were positive or negative. The TNR Dance will always live on with the spirit of FMW.
