What do we have here? Good question. I was going to call this a Geek Out, but it's more of a Match That Time Forgot. I'm saying "fuck it." This belongs in a miscellaneous folder. W*ING was a Japanese wrestling promotion that lasted from 1991 to 1994 (not counting one-off reunion shows). It was shepherded by FMW defects. If you don't know the score, FMW was a hardcore promotion that popularized "death matches," especially contests that snarled up barbed wire and explosions. Anywho, W*ING was goddamn daffy. Their roster interpolated the talents of...wait, this needs a new paragraph.
Ahem! Freddy Krueger, The Crypt Keeper, Boogie Man (Eddie Gilbert in a Michael Myers costume), Leatherface, Jason the Terrible (a guy in a hockey mask), Kamala, The Moondogs, Wahoo McDaniel (!?), Goliath el Gigante (fucking Kurrgan), and of course, a host of Japanese wrestlers. It was madness. The match I cherry-picked for your viewing pleasure represents a scant share of said madness. It's a three-way fight between Boogie, Jason and Grave Digger. Research has told me nothing about this Grave Digger fellow. I can only shrug my shoulders.
W*ING should have been called W*TF. Case in point, there is a post-match run-in made by ECW's Sandman and The Pitbulls. What? The? Fuck?
