    My favourite FMW matches from the 'entertainment' era are:

    Hayabusa v Masato Tanaka (5/19/98)
    Hayabusa vs. Mr. Gannosuke (4/30/98)
    Hayabusa v Masato Tanaka (3/13/98)
    Hayabusa & Jinsei Shinzaki v Masato Tanaka & Tetsuhiro Kuroda (3/19/99)
    Hayabusa v Kodo Fuyuki 11/20/98

    I am not really a huge fan of the Onita style, so if you want those hardcore matches, I don't really know.

    As you can tell, I am a huge Hayabusa fan so I may be biast. But then again, the guy WAS FMW so he is bound to feature...

    Oh, and for other great matches go to http://www.bahufmw.com and look under Top Matches. Bahu rocks.

    My favorite hardcore FMW matches are the following:

    Kanemura vs. Cactus Jack (from TokyoPop's 2nd video King of the Death Match)

    WING 6-man death match (from TokyoPop's Ring of Torture, with Matsunaga, Super Leather, Jason, Kanemura, Hido and Hosaka...)

    Onita vs. Hayabusa (Onita's "retirement" match in the electrified barbed wire cage... the first FMW match I ever saw)

    Terry Funk & Mr. Pogo vs. Hayabusa & Masato Tanaka (definately not a classic when it comes to wrestling, but a visual spectacle... also on King of the Death Match)

    I'm looking into getting older, pre-"sports entertainment"-style FMW videos... does anyone have any recomendations?

    But isn't "King Of Deathmatch" an IWA event?

    "King of the Death Match" was the title of the second TokyoPop FMW video. Cactus Jack was also defending his "title" against Kanemura, so maybe it was an inter-promotion match.
