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!

Welcome to Talk is Jericho, it's the pot of thunder and rock and roll, and let's go with the highly anticipated deaf Macaghan joke for the week!

0:24.0

Hey Chris Jericho, he's in home McAvegan here.

0:28.0

So my husband told me I have two major faults. One is a dumb listen and the other is something else.

0:35.0

Oh yeah! Susan Holmes, Macaghan, Duff's lovely wife, getting in on the action this week, thank you Susan for helping out Duff and being actually probably even funnier than he is.

0:46.0

We love you both here on Talk is Jericho, and of course we love Lance Storm returning to TIJ because we're going to tell the whole story about our first trip to Japan.

0:55.0

We went to Russell for FMW in October of 1991. Oh my gosh, almost 32 years ago.

1:01.0

You're here from the very beginning, and we're not leaving any details out from the flights over to Japan to the hotels we stayed in, drinking bars, the matches, the opponents, juicing for the first time.

1:13.0

And as crazy as it sounds, we actually went over there without any visas. We got ripped off.

1:18.0

Money wise, we got on the plane to go across the world with no contact information for who would be meeting us on the other end.

1:25.0

I was 20 years old, Lance was 21, maybe 22. I think crazy thinking about that now, my son Ash is 19, there's no way I'd let him go to Japan with no visa and no contact information, but that's the way we did it.

1:36.0

And it was somewhere in Warsland, where you'd like it.

1:39.0

So here we go, Lance Storm and the FMW sudden impact hits Japan October 1991 right here on Talk Is Jericho.

1:51.0

Alright, so I listen to Lance Storm every week on Rustin who's server live with Brian Alvarez. Lance always has great commentary and drives himself insane with booking issues or whatever.

2:11.0

But lately you have been doing something which I find really cool is kind of your history in the business from the beginning with all the different countries and territories and places that you went.

2:22.0

And you did one recently about your first tour, aka my first tour, aka our first tour of Japan.

2:30.0

And I listened to it and I enjoyed it so much that I thought we should do that on my show because there's a lot of things that you said I didn't remember and I'm sure vice versa and just a lot of great memories and that sort of thing.

2:42.0

So that's what we're going to talk about today our first tour of FMW.

2:45.0

And I also have just for extra added memory polls is the complete list of Jericho and we'll go through every match that we had and see if we remember anything about it as well.

2:56.0

And I haven't looked through this I'm completely cold as well and we'll just see kind of what happens for this tour.

3:03.0

Oh God, that was October 10th 1991.
