Tanaka vs. "H"
FMW (president: Shoichi Arai) held 79 shows and drew 150,779 fans (average: 1,909) in 1999. They are ranked as the third biggest wrestling office here in Japan. In 1999, after splitting with its founder, Atsushi Onita, FMW was propelled into their American-style productions and angles by booker Hiromichi "Kodo" Fuyuki and DirecTV's powerful ambitions. They used to cooperate with All Japan Pro, Michinoku Pro, and Battlarts, but Fuyuki cut relations with them. He has focused on creating plain characters and morality play to draw new fans.
Impostor Hayabusa (Mr. Gannosuke)
The hostility between FMW (Hayabusa/"H", Masato Tanaka, Hisakatsu Oya, Tetsuhiro Kuroda, Ricky Fuji, Flyingkid Ichihara, Yoshinori Yamazaki, and Naohiko Yamazaki) and TNR (Team No Respect) (Fuyuki, Mr. Gannosuke [Impostor Hayabusa], Yukihiro "Kintaro" Kanemura, Jado, Gedo, Koji Nakagawa, Hido, and Miss Kaoruko Arai, billed as the president's niece) has been created clearly in their monthly DirecTV tapings at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. Even Mr. Arai took up a positive stance to join their angles as an "evil president."
Their biggest show in 1999, at Yokohama Arena in Kanagawa on November 23, saw "H" beat Impostor Hayabusa (Mr. Gannosuke). Then, Gannosuke reformed himself and reunited with "H" as an old friend tag team. Tanaka beat Fuyuki in a "Loser Leaves FMW match." Also, Tanaka has acted like he devotes himself to join ECW, but, on the other hand, Fuyuki formed "ECW Japan," and came back. No doubt, FMW's two biggest cores are always Eiji Ezaki (Hayabusa/"H") and Masato Tanaka. New storylines have already started.

Aki "Miss Mongol" Kambayashi, 23 years old, left Narita Airport for Puerto Rico on Monday, January 3, 2000. She will start with IWA (International Wrestling Association) in January. She worked for FMW, Wrestle You-Me Factory, Osaka Pro, West Japan Pro, Neo Ladies, and Atsushi Onita's independent show in 1999. Her dream is to wrestle in the United States in 2000.
Bo "Spanky X. Spitzmiller" Oates is a second-generation wrestler from Columbus, Georgia. His father, Jerry Oates, and uncle, Ted Oates, won various tag team titles, including the Central States Tag Team title and the Georgia Tag Team title. They are well known to Japanese fans, too. They captured the All Asian Tag Team Title from Great Kojika & Motoshi Okuma on Giant Baba's All Japan Pro Wrestling at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo on Saturday, October 2, 1976.
Bo Oates was born in Winter Park, Florida on Friday, September 25, 1970. He has another uncle, Dick Steinborn. He began his career in the wrestling business in June 1994 in the now-defunct SWA (Southern Wrestling Alliance), which was based out of Columbus, Georgia. Because his father wanted him to pay his dues, he began on the ring crew, then went to commentator, and then to referee. It would be three years before his first match, even though he was trained at various levels by Jerry and Ted, and by Don Sanders (formerly known as "The V" to Japanese fans).
In the spring of 1996, Bo began a promotion called the GWA (Georgia Wrestling Alliance). The theme behind the GWA was "Wrestling the way it used to be." Many of the old stipulations were incorporated, and this added a sense of nostalgia for old fans throughout West Georgia. Still, it would be one more year before his ring debut.
It seemed that Bo had done everything in the wrestling business except wrestle. That day came on Friday, October 31, 1997 in LaGrange, Georgia. The Mongols attacked "referee" Bo Oates before the matches began the week prior (October 24), and Don Sanders emerged to make the save. Sanders then told him that he needed a partner, and that he'd even "lend you some boots." That night, Bo Oates and Sanders lifted the GWA Tag Team Title off of The Mongols.
Bo had a serious, technical style much like his father - very methodical and mechanical. In the spring of 1999, he dropped out of sight, and Spanky X. Spitzmiller then emerged: a lovable character in cut-off jeans and horn-rimmed glasses. Fans soon found out that Spanky was there to "Take names and spank ass!" This new gimmick has proven itself well and has seen the younger Oates emerge into more of a brawling, hardcore style of wrestling! He won the GWA Tag Team title with Sanders and with Lance Von Erich, as well as the GWA TV Title, and also the Alabama Tag Team title with his uncle, Ted. In November, he teamed with Ted in an "Extreme Tag Team Match" versus two Georgia independent wrestlers named Mad Dog Manson & The Mongol.
