Spectacular 15 minutes that includes a ton of completely insane spots and also great psychology and character work. Super crowd with great heat that treats Hokuto & Bull not just as major stars but as babyfaces on the FMW show. Theres nothing they could have done to have a better match than the one they did. I just thought about Dennis Green's "They are what I thought they were" speech the entire time as they had a match even better than I was expecting.

Super fun match. The crowd LOVED Bull and Hokuto and felt like they had a match designed to return that love. All of Hokuto’s signature moved looked spectacular but they always do. Great crowd pleasing finishing stretch.

YES!!
The first interpromotional war match with FMW and it FUCKING RULES! The heat is unreal, Hokuto/Bull are an unreal bad ass destruction team. Kudo/Combat are a great babyface home town hero team, they are the under dogs but bring out amazing offense. A perfect way to start this feud off.

This match is a handheld from the FMW’s 3rd Anniversary Show, it was the third to last match of the show, it was proceeded by Grigory Verichev & Tarzan Goto (c) vs Brian Theodile & Leon Spinks for the tag team belts and Atsushi Onita vs Tiger Jeet Singh (c) for the heavyweight championship, the match we are discussing today was the best of the show by far. It was a clash between two of the best wrestlers of AJW against the best female wrestlers in the roster of FMW, this match was the first one featured in the Megumi Kudo Queen Of The Death Matches DVD that was a compilation of the best matches in the career of the best female wrestler in FMW history, in this DVD you can find the classic she had against her Combat Toyoda (her partner tonight) in 1996 that is my favourite deathmatch, even better that Terry Funk vs Atsushi Onita in my opinion, I highly recommend that DVD if you are interested in her career.
Now the match, during most of it the Zenjo (AJW) team of Bull and Hokuto were incredibly dominant which was predictable considering how over both of them were at the time, they are far superior wrestlers and they know it, the crowd knew it too, the crowd was pure fire in this one, I think they compensated the state of footage because as I said earlier this was a handheld so the quality isn’t the greatest. The only control segment that the FMW team had was when Combat Toyoda entered the ring and hit a clothesline to the corner then it was cut short by Bull Nakano, from there it was smooth sailing, they got the victory after hitting their finisher simultaneously for the three count ending the match.
It’s one of my favourite handhelds ever, I really like it and if you like 90’s joshi you’ll like it too, the only thing holding it back for some people is the quality of the footage but seriously give it a try.

People should watch JML's version btw. It's the clipped commercial release with footage from the handheld edited in to the clipped parts so you can watch the whole match. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMXOrwCHmcI |
