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. I love the fact that FMW existed in the same country as NJPW and AJPW

I hope it's not filled with guys wrestling bears. I think the CONCEPT of guys wrestling bears will be in the list, instead of actual matches, and in that section, they'll point out a few examples. This'll probably be filled with mindless stipulations, bizarre strucutres to matches, and anything that lacks sense. This HAS to have the "Turkey on a Pole" or "Loser Gets Painted Green" matches from AWA's final days. If not the turkey one, the Judy Bagwell on a Pole match should be considered as using a bizarre example of a pole item.

I think it's safe to assume to Inoki vs Saito deserted island match will be in there.

The "Bungee match" from Global better be there. (Two guys wrestle on a "cherry picker" no bigger than your average couch, first guy to fall off loses.)
Mike Davis finding that "moon rock" made that work. That's when he started going nuts. But who did he wrestle, I forget off hand.

I just got this book in the mail, and I have to say it's a very entertaining read. Each match gets about a one or two page explanation as to what happened; the matches listed in this book have a wise variety of range, from bloody matches to comedy matches, major promotions like WWE to indy promotions, to recent matches to one in the early century, though some of them seemed to be repeated reasons like fans causing riots.
Later I'll put up a list of the matches contained in the book (covered in spoiler tags in case you want to find out yourself).

Okay, even though I like the book, there's one other thing I should have mentioned. The book is done to look like a scrapbook and the fonts differ from page to page, which sometimes gets annoying.

Is this that "jungle" match?
I was expecting them seriously going at it in the jungle, Predator style. Not in a ring, for some reason.

I sure was glad to see the inclusion of Mr. Gannosuke & Tarzan Goto v. The Headhunters in the IWA Bathhouse match. SK reviewed it some years back. Sounded... interesting.
