FMW-E held their Terry Funk Memorial event, which also served as the 50th anniversary for Atsushi Onita. On the show, Onita teamed with Raijin Yaguchi against 83-year old Dory Funk Jr and Osamu Nishimura in a Double Hell Current Explosion Death Match. Funk and Nishimura won the match, but not before Funk took an exploding barbed wire baseball bat to the back. Nishimura, meanwhile, is battling stage four cancer.

Dory Funk, Jr. ended up taking a exploding bat shot from Onita during the match but was able to get the win with a spinning toe hold over Yaguchi. Both Dory and Nishimura seemed to be fine after the match. pic.twitter.com/HqmHzWGygi

Crowd shot of Kawasaki Stadium right before the main event. Many people showed up hours into the show just wanting to see the Onita/Yaguchi vs. Dory/Nishimura match and skipping the entire undercard. Skipping the 85 degree August day humidity probably isn’t the worst idea either. pic.twitter.com/sNJ176Yr0k
