I recognize the main picture.
Basically everyone bailed when the ring started to melt into their flesh.

Sabu and Chris Candido talk about the match in question. From the "Behind Closed Doors with Sabu" shoot video: On the match itself: Candido: This seems like an extremely insane idea. To be serious for one minute, what the hell were you thinking, wanting to set the ring on fire? Sabu: It wasn't me. It was Onita. It was his idea. We were planning on having a long match, but it didn't turn out that way. It just got too hot. Candido: You said it was their idea, but you never kinda siad "this might be a bad idea?" Sabu: No. I thought it was an okay idea until we got into the ring. I didn't think it was a good idea; I thought it was okay. On The Sheik: Sabu: The thing that they didn't show is that when Sheik got out of the ring, I poured water on him and skin fell off his back. He was mad because I got his hands wet. He wanted to throw fire. Candido: I can see why that would piss somebody off, you know? "Just let me burn so I can throw fire at somebody." Sabu (chuckling): I didn't know. I wish I would have let him burn. I'll let him burn next time. On the press' reaction: Sabu: We got a lot of press for no reason. I guess it was for the f*** up. Candido:Well, you got press because four guys almost burned to death in a wrestling ring. Sabu: Yeah, that's true. Candido: THat's a little "press worthy," don't you think? About the topic at hand: I will definitely be picking this one up, provided that I have money. Sounds fun. |

I recognize the main picture. Basically everyone bailed when the ring started to melt into their flesh. Considering that it was in FMW and was an Atsushi Onita idea, I wasn't surprised. But, still... this makes the Inferno matches look like child's play, although I feel that it was a highly idiotic concept considering the fact that the ring began melting. |

What makes that match doubly stupid is the inclusion of barbed wire. Hair and body-tangling barbed wire. Barbed wire that's going to keep a person right next to the flames. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Isn't CHIKARA in the book somewhere with the "longest" match of all-time?

While that barbed wire fire match is probably the dumbest match idea ever, it's still not the strangest FMW came up with. As for what is the strangest, I have four words: EXPLODING SWIMMING POOL DEATHMATCH.
If that is not in this book, I riot.

I've actually seen that match via a friend of mine, and that was just straight up ridiculous. Sure, not as bad as the blazing inferno made mention of earlier, but still ridiculous. |

There is one with Tiger Jeet Singh and Onita in the middle of a jungle with no fans to be found. Electric barbed wire and such. Also ... it was raining. Nice!
There may have been more than one and I'm getting the details confused, but I've seen it, and it had one of the creepiest, best atmospheres to it.

Tracy Smothers wrestled someone in a "Loser Leaves Earth" match if I recall. Though maybe that doesn't count since I don't think anyone actually left the planet.
