One of my top five matches ever. Sure, it's a :siren: exploding barbed wire death match :siren:, but it has tons of great ring psychology and elevates itself far past the gimmick.

That match and this match are :siren:MUST WATCH:siren: matches

I, honestly, blame this match for getting me back into wrestling 6 years ago. It is loving incredible.

Edit: the general story of the match is that it is Atsushi Onita's retirement match against then up and comer Hayabusa. It is essentially a "passing of the torch" deal, seeing if Hayabusa can be the new face of Frontier Marital-Arts Wrestling (FMW). The exploding barb wire cage gimmick is used incredibly well.

For all those people who wonder about Rey's head-bumps, here's a close-up look (although this is more of a cheek-kiss from way back before his head bumping started).

He looks really pleased to be out interacting with the fans. I really think Rey must be a pretty cool guy.

He's saying BOOYAKAH BOOYAKAH 6-1-9. This proves it.

Have you ever smacked something heavy with a keyboard? loving keys flying all over the drat place, is what happens. I've never seen anyone use a keyboard as a weapon in a match, but it would be just about the best not-that-damaging signature weapon available. Fuckin keys, flying in every direction. It would look neat on camera.

I'm surprised they let him keep the flipping Yoshi Tonic. Pleased, though. He's one of the few people who can make that move look convincing.

This was way funnier than I expected - my favorite was probably the dude doing the spinaroonie. It would have been funnier if they would have used guys with less confidence and about a hundred pounds heavier, though. Probably would have been more accurate.

I like to remind people of what could have been.

What could have been if someone in the WWF decided, "You know what the WWF needs in 2001? A veteran monster who can connect with the crowd and tell a decent story, even if he has little technical wrestling ability."

What if, in 2001, the WWF gave this man another chance.

Well, from one extreme to another:

FMW - Combat Toyoda vs. Megumi Kudo (No-Rope Electrified Barbwire Deathmatch)

this is from the FMW 7th Anniversary show which is as far as I know like the best death match show ever, and it's also Toyoda's retirement match. It's pretty cool.

Seriously one of my favorite wrestling matches.
