History YMMV / FMW

* GirlShowGhetto: Averted, as Megumi Kudo became the company's top draw following Onita's "retirement" in 1995.
* HarsherInHindsight

* FandomRivalry: While the Japanese mainstream, All Japan and New Japan, have been mentioned several times, the revival managed to pick up Wrestling/{{CZW}}, of all fan bases. While FMW's faithful have always been somewhat dismissive of CZW, CZW's fans are [[AcceptableTargets sort of used to being dumped on]] and the FMW faithful in truth dump on a lot of garbage feds [[TheyCopiedItSoItSucks following in their wake]], so it wasn't especially noticeable. When Atushi Onita himself went to New Jersey to work with CZW and called them cheap, though, that lead to some backlash. Although many CZW fans were still happy for the "Once In A Lifetime" chance to see him live.

* NauseaFuel: According to Wrestling/ChrisJericho, the young boys in the FMW Dojo were submitted to sexual hazing, which included masturbating in a jar and drink it.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: FMW's 6th Anniversary Show, which drew a crowd of 58,250 people. Only five "pure" puroresu promotions managed to do better, four of which (All Japan, New Japan, NOAH and the [[Wrestling/UniversalWrestlingFederation UWF]]) had legacies dating back to the JWA and other, Tokyo Pro Wrestling, not having nearly the longevity. FMW did this without the benefits of network television, while operating in areas not known for pro wrestling fan bases.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Three years after the company closed down, Masato Tanaka, Masaru Toi, Mr. Gannosuke, Megumi Kudo, Kintaro Kanemura, Tetsuhiro Kuroda, Mammoth Sasaki, GOEMON, Onryo, Hido, Shark Tsuchiya, Hisakatsu Oya, Ricky Fuji, Miss Mongol, Gosaku Goshogawara, Kaori Nakayama and Hayabusa reunited to participate in Wrestling/SumieSakai's "We Love Sabu" benefit show, which successfully paid for Sabu's hospital bills after he was injured. [[note]]Ryuji Ito, Necro Butcher and Daisuke Sekimoto from Big Japan, Crazy SKB and Shinobu from 666, The Apache Army's Akrangers Takashi Sasaki & GENTARO, Asian Cougar, Asian Condor, Asian Monkey, Lingerie Muto, GAMI, Fang Suzuki, Seiji Ikeda and Eddie Edwards were also among those present while [[Wrestling/JimFullington Sandman]] brought beer.[[/note]]

* FriendlyFandoms: If there is a garbage fed besides W*ING or IWA Japan FMW fans are likely to tolerate, it's probably Big Japan Pro Wrestling, especially after the Death Match BJ vs Strong BJ splitw with guys liked Mixed Martial Artist turned hardcore specialist Masashi Takeda on one side and some of the best strong style wrestlers like Daisuke Sekimoto on the other. To a lesser extent, ECW gets some support for some good booking on the part of Paul Heyman, many wrestlers legendary for their technical and or work rate and prominent use of Masato Tanaka.
