Considered to be one of the bloodiest
barbed wire matches in all of
professional wrestling. The match took place in
FMW (Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling) on February 5, 1996 between
Cactus Jack and W*ing Kanemura. "Spider Net" is a wrestling term for wire wrapped around the ropes and the
turnbuckle in a corner. This type of oh-so-fun
torture was invented in a
Caribbean federation, hence it's name. The ring setup for the match had normal ropes, with spider nets set up in the corners. Each spider net had a large glass
pane behind it. Tables and folding chairs were placed randomly outside the ring
just in case the pain from the barbed wire and glass weren't enough.
The
match started off with some slower, holding moves. Then Cactus threw Kanemura into the corner and did his
devastating running knee. Kanemura pulled him to the outside and threw him over the guard rail. Then, (and don't ask me how) Kanemura picks up a table with
one arm and
chunks it at Cactus' head. The two go back into the ring, and Cactus gets slammed through a table and cut with some glass. The first big
bump of the match happened next, when Kanemura got pushed into the spider net and
ow, got stuck.
Cactus Jack then tried to help his
opponent by smacking him on the back of the head with a chair. This
did knock Kanemura out of the net, only to have his face
ow, rubbed into the wire. Cactus gets
suplexed and dropkicked into the other spider net. The next huge bump is again taken by W*ing, when Cactus slams him through the glass pane off the top rope. Oh yeah, don't forget the barbed wire too.
Somehow W*ing manages to stand, and suplexes Cactus into the other glass pane. Cactus wins by using his double-arm
DDT to smash Kanemura face-first
ow, through the last glass pane.
This is considered by lots of wrestling fans to be one of
Mick Foley's greatest matches. This is really nothing uncommon though...FMW has these matches almost
every show. If you always wanted to see women kick each other through lines of
C-4 explosives or see men
electrocute or
brand one another, this is for you!
