phoenixsplash420 Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Sad no one replied to this. Mr. Pogo was the perfect rival for Atsushi Onita in FMW. Also Hayabusa & Masato Tanaka vs. Terry Funk & Mr. Pogo is a classic hardcore match and one of my personal favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted June 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Yeah, I was pretty shocked by the lack of response. I know that death matches can be an acquired taste, and Mr Pogo is probably before the time of many of the members around here, but still...like you said, Pogo vs Onita was a bit of a legendary feud. You knew you were going to see some crazy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AssaultDriver720 Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Well Mr. Pogo was in the first match i ever saw of Japanese wrestling outside of guys showing up in WWF, WCW and ECW. That was that 6 man tag pool Deathmatch i saw it in 2002 then later on that year i bought an FMW from Best Buy. That was my discovery into Puro.
