Fun fact- The young man on the right at 3:44 would go on to become the President of one of FMW's spiritual successors, Big Japan Pro Wrestling. If that's not an easter egg it's an insane coincidence.
Have watched this match with Onita and Terry Funk . This put hardcore Death Match Wrestling on the map and was a great match to watch . Have it on both VHS and DVD Onita was a pioneer and a legend in this match . RIP to Terry Funk .
Watching one of the many shows during this past Wrestlemania weekend, and found out the referee in the Onita vs. Funk explosion match was none other than legendary wrestler, Dragon Kid. If true, that's one unique way to break into the business IMO.
Otani's a very funny, well-spoken guy outside the ring. So much so that he became a congressman after he retired from pro-wrestling. He started at All Japan Pro as assistant to legendary Giant Baba. And he recalled that one his daily duties was everytime Baba took a shite he had to go afterwards to crush the dung because it was so big it wouldn't go down in one flush haha. Years later he bumped into his old master and he tried to recruit Baba to his deathmatch. According to him it went like, Baba: "That thing, isn't it painful?" Otani: "I promise Baba-san, it's not gonna hurt!" And after thinking a bit Baba went "Nahhh I pass." Otani: "Why?" Baba: "Because I'm rich. That's why."
AEW was so carny trying to do this kind of match. The fact that the BILLIONARE in charge couldn't afford better special effects and pyro makes it even sadder.
AEW perform not well? Damn so it's again WWE dominate in market. Remember when TNA tried to be a some competition, and it end with AJ Styles and some others of them get into WWE and now I even see them working together. Something I could not belive 15 or even ten years ago. But it seems that both companies finally stop seing themselves as opponents, more like WWF and ECW. AEW never will be any real threat cuz WWE is like Nintendo in gaming, in the end people would see them just like buy Switch 2
Jun Kasai from Freedoms is one of the current biggest names. There’s too many matches to pick as a example like his recent match against Nick Gage in GCW earlier this year
A lot Of that was more than likely tv producers saying hey no we can’t do xyz. Sadly. One reason why wwe has never had a single death match and they’ve been around for 4 decades. Hell, it’s hard to even get a street fight on wwe tv. I’ll give all the aew haters that, that match sucked. But what’s done in vain can be redeemed through fighting spirit and that’s something AEW has. They don’t give up.
Aew literally copied this exact angle of his opponent coming back in the ring to save him. Which is fine, angles have been recycled so many times, but Aew just did an embarrassing job at it.
TBF, I heard stories that Eastern Championship Wrestling tried to do one, much to the same results as the ever popular Cactus Jack vs. Terry Funk exploding barb wire match in IWA (as in nobody got to see the "Earth shattering kaboom" in the end). In AEW and ECW's case, depending on if the Fire Marshall was in the building, maybe not having the large explosion and huge amounts of disappointment was probably for the best. Not saying the dud was planned, but compared to the lawsuits, if even a couple of ringside fans were singed from the resulting explosion, that could have been disastrous for the company.
And Tony the Snowman often says "GREAT" while high on the snow he snorted and Plumber Moxley said that Harpo Fingerbang is a "tough SOB" but couldn't put an exploding ring worth the shits. No wonder why AEW means "Absolutely Embarrassing Wrestling" for a great reason.
The best part is terry goes why hell get a front row explosion death match and buddy goes they show u hiw the explosion is no hell no i just went to the ring classic terry funk down for anything
That's why AEW is called "Absolutely Embarrassing Wrestling" for a good reason thanks to Plumber Moxley, the BBC, Harpo Fingerfuck and the Cucamonga Kids.
There wasn't embarrassing or worst match ever, AEW Exploding barbed wire match are so cool, even in the video game of AEW got Exploding barbed wire match in it.
I remember when AEW tried to do this 😂😂 looking at the original, I feel the embarrassment all over again. AEW deserves to get shut down on principle lmao
To act like this was a big successful company is crazy lol. There big acquisition was terry funk lol. A legend but only to the sweatiest of wrestling fans lol. Stop the cap
In the US? Watch DARK SIDE OF THE RING here: bit.ly/DarkSideofTheRing2023
Where can I watch it on TV in the UK?!?! 🤔😕🧐
Bankrupt channel vomiting out 20 year old content
R.I.P Terry bro 😢
These dudes were so sick. Pioneering a lot of the stuff still done today
The hell is Jericho narrating and pitching to his own interview in front of the camera 😂
He's a jackass
So Jericho. Egocentric 😂
He’s become the Kanye of wrestling
Jericho has an... ego. I mean it's kinda obviously
Because it's f*ckin Jericho thats why.
RIP Jon Moxley ... Eddie tried sacrificed himself but still cant save him ...
😂😂😂
R.I.P. To one of the goats. Thank you Funker.

I knew Kid was a referee in FMW, but I didn't knew he reffed this match.
1:34 “I want a front row ticket!” Bull**** 😂
Onita ; Foley and Terry funk RIP 🙏 the toughest wrestling guys ever
Just like those Exploding Stages in Tekken or DOA.
I thought this is about the embarrassing explosion at AEW 😂
Funk was the OG of hardcore
Hardcore is an UNDERSTATEMENT for Funk.
@@emsan3684 very true.....I wish I could have seen any of his HC matches
@@johndonovan5521 There's alot on YT highlight matches. You need to brace yourself watching it cause it ain't pretty.
I wish Terry had taken it easier later in life. He might've lived a lot longer but the man was hardcore to the end

FMW were extreme before ECW CALLED THEMSELVES EXTREME.
Anyone part of the original ECW when it changed from Eastern to Extreme will be the first to tell you FMW was a massive inspiration.
@@JackgarPrime absolutely I totally agree with you
These men are badasses These are Legends who paved the way For Extreme wrestling exploded barbwires in the Ring
AEW was so carny trying to do this kind of match. The fact that the BILLIONARE in charge couldn't afford better special effects and pyro makes it even sadder.
And Tony Wide Eyes invested more into buying snow for him to snort on instead on investing at Absolutely Embarrassing "Wrestling".
Sparklers
Because AEW is GARBAGE!!!

RIP to the great Terry Funk. A true legend who is truly missed.
I own this on VHS
No one is gonna talk about AEW exploding death match. It had sparklers lol
Probably been asked, but, what episode did this snippet come from?
Season 3 episode 10: "Blood & Wire: Onita's FMW"
What FMW did was wild. What AEW did was playing it safe too safe judging by the end result.
Oh its like dead or alive 3 kind of
Onita aged well
My favorite episode of DSOTR
Both legends
Why haven't Matt dickie added this
To the wrestling empire games yet?
Tf u mean its already been added
Listen to the bonfire do Terry Funk matches it’s freaking hilarious 😂 they pay total respect 🫡 to the legend
Always thought the barbed wire ropes was crazy... R.I.P Terry
Wow it was better than I thought
theres more extrem than ecw i was looking for this since i was 5!!!
Japan: what do people like to watch? Oh sick let's get as good as possible at it
Then proceed to laugh af at the aew barbwired and puny explosions. 😂😂😂 this was way way better.
A lot

The Japanese don't mess around
Yup. Ask the Chinese from nanking
@@J.G.Wentworth69420 What has China been doing?
The legend of Terry Funk
And then AEW made “exploding ring matches” an embarrassment.
AEW ruined the exploding ring matches' reputation
This match made it to video games as well.
AEW fight forever and the firepro wrestling series.
