Summary: Clipping Hurts
Review: FMW has demonstrated a dismaying fondness for clipping huge chunks out of their matches, disrupting the flow and probably depriving the viewer of some great spots. This volume trims a 12-minute barbed wire board and bat match to a little over 4 minutes. The fire death match (the ring ropes are replaced with barbed wire and rows of torches) is also trimmed to less than half its original length. The tape does feature 3 in-their-entirety matches of Japanese superstar Hayabusa, so I'll give it 3 stars. But FMW and Tokyopop should give us fewer matches and deliver them whole. Particularly the gimmick matches, which is FMW's main selling point.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: FMW is EXTREME
Review: FMW is the true Fontier of Japanese Wrestling. Ledgends such as Hayabusa, Mike Awesome and Masato Tanka tear the scene apart in this video. I recommend this video for those who like Hardcore Wrestling and also enjoy learning to speak Japanese. This video is Hardcore and can be replayed over and over again to quench your Hardcore thirst.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Super Review #9
Review: I have seen FMW in ECW over the years, but not genuine Japanese FMW. ECW fans will love seeing the familiar faces ; Mike Awsome (2 matches) ; Masato Tanaka (2 matches) ; Kanemura (2 matches)and Hayabusa (3 matches). The Tanaka vs. Awsome is another classic, if not as bone crunching as the ECW Awsome vs. Tanaka fights. Hayabusa is as entertaining as ever, providing FMW's equivalent of RVD. There are 2 barb wire matches ; the first with barb wire ropes and flaming torches, the 2nd with barb wire boards in the corners. Now - the badness. The comentators are rubbish and come over as gays, which is not good. The promos, with exception of Awsome's are in Japanese with subtitles. Sum it up? A good example of FMW, but a little boring in places, and not up to the class of ECW.

Summary: Worth the price, but you might watch it once...
Review: I wish this could be a glowing review of the two new FMW dvd's. I had been anticipating the release and wondering what matches would be included. I got them both on Wednesday and the verdict is ho-hum. Both highlight the tournament in 1995-96 for the FMW World Title, culminating with Mike "Gladiator" Awesome vs. The Falcon. Both DVD's feature a main event of the two in different matches, but their match on Legend Dawns is so much better. Overall, these two DVD;s are worth the price but not the best effort from TokyoPop.
