Death Match wrestling legend Atsushi Onita has launched his own wrestling company called Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling Explosion.
The ‘E’ in the company’s name stands for explosion and its main focus will be on exploding deathmatches.
FMWE’s debut show will take place on July 4 at the Tsurumi Fruit & Vegetable Market in Yokohama.
Onita, 63, said Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega’s exploding barbed wire deathmatch at All Elite Wrestling’s Revolution pay-per-view was the catalyst for the company’s birth.
Hidetaka Kajiki, who will hold a director position alongside Onita, promised the company will have worldwide distribution. It remains to be seen what broadcasting deals FMWE is able to secure.
DDT Pro-Wrestling’s Chris Brookes, who has wrestled Onita on numerous occasions, immediately posted a positive reaction on Twitter.
