FMW Women's Division

History
Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (FMW) was a Japanese professional wrestling promotion founded in 1989 by Atsushi Onita. It specialized in hardcore wrestling involving weapons such as barbed wire and fire. FMW had a short lived working agreement with Extreme Championship Wrestling. FMW has had fourteen DVDs released in the U.S. by Tokyopop.

FMW also had a thriving women's wrestling division, led by Megumi Kudo who was one of FMW's biggest stars in her heyday. All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling talent feared them so much that they rarely had interpromotional matches against each other, but the FMW women were successful in other feuds with LLPW and JWP.

In stark contrast to women's wrestling - let alone most wrestling in general at that time - the women also participated in the same hardcore style of their promotion, competing in numerous barbed wire deathmatches and street fights. However, the women also competed in normal hold for hold wrestling regularly with the rest of the women's promotions.
