Unfortunately, FMW folded earlier this year. During the early to mid 90's, they were probably one of the most influential wrestling organizations on the planet, with the use of electrified cages, barbed wire, mines, beds of nails, exploding ring matches, etc. A lot of their tamer concepts were "borrowed" by Paul Heyman in ECW, and then by Vince in the WWF, in addition to smaller feds like Big Japan, CZW, and XPW going the ultra-hardcore route. It can all be traced back to Atsushi Onita and FMW.
Of course, watching FMW will give you a clear view of just how pussified the WWF "Hardcore" division really is.
