Summary

Sudden Impact made their tag team debut in Japan in October of 1991. It was Lance Storm and Chris Jericho at Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling aka FMW. The duo were barely a year into their wrestling careers when this tour opportunity arose, and they recount their nearly three-week trip overseas. They remember how they got the chance to travel to Japan, what it was like boarding the plane with no visa or actual contact information for anyone at FMW. They share stories about FMW promoter Onita, his right-hand man, Goto, and their fellow Gaijin wrestlers on the show including Mark Starr, Horace Boulder (Hulk Hogan’s nephew), and Mike Awesome. They share some of the ribs pulled on this trip, the story about their $600 drinking bar adventure, and they break down each one of their Japanese matches. Thank you for supporting our sponsors!

0:34.4	something up. Susan Holmes,
0:39.3	McAagan, Duff's lovely wife getting in on the action this week. Thank you,
0:42.2	Susan for helping out Duff and being actually probably even funnier than he is.
0:46.3	We love you both here on Talkers Jericho. And of course, we love Lance Storm
0:49.6	returning to TIJ because we're going to tell the whole story about our first
0:53.9	trip to Japan. We went to Russell for FMW in October of 1991. Oh my gosh,
0:59.7	almost 32 years ago. You're here from the very beginning. And we're not
1:03.7	leaving any details out from the flights over to Japan to the hotels we
1:07.4	stayed in, drinking bars, the matches, the opponents, juicing for the first
1:13.1	time. And as crazy as it sounds, we actually went over there without any
1:15.7	visas. We got ripped off money wise. We got on the plane to go across the
1:21.4	world with no contact information for who would be meeting us on the other
1:25.0	end. I was 20 years old. Lance was 21, maybe 22. I think crazy thinking about that
1:29.9	now. My son, Ash's 19. There's no way I'd let him go to Japan with no visa and
1:34.1	no contact information. But that's the way we did it. And that was somewhere
1:37.5	wise. And we like it. So here we go, Lance Storm and the FMW sudden

1:56.9	All right. So I listened to Lance Storm every week on Rustin
