Solomonster reviews the "Blood & Wire: Onita's FMW" episode of Dark Side of the Ring, looking at Japanese deathmatch legend Atsushi Onita and the birth of his FMW promotion. Includes thoughts on how Onita's early trip to the United States influenced his future hardcore style... his famous Timebomb match with Terry Funk that inspired this year's AEW Revolution main event with Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega... the in-ring injury that paralyzed Hayabusa and put the final nail in FMW's coffin... the company's Yakuza ties and what led to the president taking his own life years later.
