1. No Rope Electrified Barbed Wire Swimming Pool Dynamite Double Hell Death Match
Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (FMW) is one of Japan’s most controversial pro wrestling organizations. One year after their first show at FMW Summer Spectacular 1990, founder Atsushi Onita and Tarzan Goto revolutionized the deathmatch scene with the world’s first Exploding Electrified Barbed Wire Match.
While that match wasn’t spectacularly violent, it kicked off an arms race in Japan through the ’90s to see just how much violence a single match can hold.
Not to be outdone by imitators, FMW gave the world its first and only No Rope Electrified Barbed Wire Swimming Pool Dynamite Double Hell Death Match on August 28th, 1994. This gimmick featured the team of FMW founder Atsushi Onita, Katsutoshi Niiyama & Mr. Gannosuke versus the team of Hideki Hosaka, Mr. Pogo and The Gladiator in elimination-style tag team action. Eliminations can occur via pinfall, submission, or being thrown into the pool (triggering explosions).
In order to pull this match off, a 20 x 20-foot wrestling ring was placed on a 30 x 30-foot barge, anchored to float dead center in a full-size swimming pool. Each team had to board a motorboat just to reach the ring. Two sides of the ring are wrapped with electrified barbed wire, while the other two sides are wide open as a falling hazard. The match featured sharp sickles, barbed wire-wrapped baseball bats, fire-breathing, huge explosions, and lots of blood from all six competitors.
In the years that followed, various elements of this spectacle were picked apart and reused as inspiration for other dangerous match stipulations all over the world. These high-risk offshoots resulted in scars, broken bones, and gallons of blood loss… and they have this influential match to thank for it.
