FMW 5/5/1999 - FMW vs Battlarts 10-Man Elimination Tag

FMW 5/5/1999 - FMW vs Battlarts 10-Man Tag

Battlarts was a shoot style group while FMW was a hardcore group. These two couldn't be bigger opposites.

Yone eliminates his own partner Ikeda, but it doesn't count for some reason.

Gannosuke takes out Yone
Ikeda got the win with a low blow and a lariat. Good match here. The crowd was quiet but the action was solid and the different clashing styles were interesting. I liked the FMW guys using heel moves and some weapons while the Battlarts guys stooped low as well with double team attacks and tons of low blows. I didn't get the one part where I thought Ikeda was out, but aside from that, it was really fun. Gannosuke and Kanemura were so good here as was Yone. Oya worked well with Ishikawa and I bet that one would have been good. This had a little something for everyone and while long was fun. Rating:***1/2
