Production The tour marked the beginning of a talent exchange working agreement between ECW and FMW which would last throughout the existence of both promotions. The theme of the tour was that ECW wrestlers would work matches on all of the shows on the tour. The tour also featured the return of FMW wrestlers, who were part of
ECW roster at the time,
Terry Funk and
Sabu as ECW wrestlers. Funk had been the leader of Funk Masters of Wrestling and was returning the company for the first time since beating
Kodo Fuyuki at Kawasaki Legend: Fall Spectacular and Sabu was returning since losing to
Hayabusa at Summer Spectacular in 1994.
Storylines At Kawasaki Legend: Fall Spectacular,
Atsushi Onita defeated
W*ING Kanemura in a
no rope barbed wire electrified dynamite land mine time bomb death match which stipulated that if Onita lost, he would
retire and if Kanemura lost, then
W*ING Alliance must disband. After the match, W*ING Alliance members Kanemura,
Hideki Hosaka and
Hido were concerned because no group in FMW would accept them. Onita became upset at FMW's team of
Hayabusa,
Masato Tanaka and
Koji Nakagawa for being rude to Kanemura, Hosaka and Hido and then he met Kanemura in his ambulance to conduct a meeting with the former W*ING members. On September 30, Onita held a press conference in which he
turned
villain for the first time in his FMW career by denouncing himself as a FMW wrestler and formed
ZEN with the former W*ING Alliance and FMW's upstart
Tetsuhiro Kuroda. A rivalry blossomed between FMW and ZEN and the Funk Masters of Wrestling was quickly phased out after
Mr. Gannosuke,
Hisakatsu Oya and
The Gladiator ended it due to the group's leader
Terry Funk leaving FMW and they joined ZEN. On November 20, Masato Tanaka,
Ricky Fuji and Mr. Pogo #2 defeated ZEN's Atsushi Onita, Tetsuhiro Kuroda and Hido in a
six-man tag team match when Tanaka pinned Onita, leading to a match between the two on the first show of the Super Extreme Wrestling War tour on December 19. At
8th Anniversary Show, Hayabusa defeated Mr. Gannosuke in a
mask vs. hair match and then attempted to reconcile with Gannosuke but Gannosuke attacked him and attempted to
blow fire on him until Hayabusa's ally
Jinsei Shinzaki made the save, thus forming an alliance with Hayabusa and beginning to feud with Gannosuke. On June 21, Gannosuke attacked Shinzaki under a Hayabusa disguise during Shinzaki's entrance before a match at a
Michinoku Pro Wrestling show. On July 19, Gannosuke, Hisakatsu Oya and The Gladiator defeated Hayabusa, Shinzaki and Koji Nakagawa in a six-man tag team match. On August 25, Gannosuke, Gladiator and
Super Leather defeated the team of Shinzaki, Ricky Fuji and
Ricky Morton in a
barbed wire tornado deathmatch. On October 14, Gannosuke attacked Shinzaki from behind before a match between the two and then easily defeated him by making him bleed. On October 19, Gannosuke, along with Hisakatsu Oya left Funk Masters of Wrestling and joined ZEN after losing the
FMW Brass Knuckles Tag Team Championship to ZEN's Atsushi Onita and Yukihiro Kanemura. The title would be vacated due to Onita's inactivity. On November 28, Gannosuke and Yukihiro Kanemura defeated Hayabusa and Masato Tanaka to win the vacant title. On December 5, Gannosuke stole Shinzaki's clothes and wore them during a tag team match pitting him and Hideki Hosaka against Shinzaki and Ricky Fuji, which Gannosuke and Hosaka won. This set up a title defense for Gannosuke and Kanemura against Hayabusa and Shinzaki on the December 19 show of the tour. Other important changes in the FMW roster took place in December as Hisakatsu Oya quit ZEN after losing to Hayabusa on December 5 and Koji Nakagawa walked out on FMW after feeling betrayed by
Shoichi Arai for not been given major opportunities which had been promised to him in the past. ==Events==
