From 1995 to 2005, Mike Awesome and Masato Tanaka waged war across the globe in one of professional wrestling's greatest rivalries. AWESOME BOMB incorporates Tanaka and Awesome's twelve singles matches from FMW and ECW in an effort to study their movement over time, culminating in a balletic and violent ghost film in which the participants dance around, into, and through one another. A perpetual gladiatorial battle trapped within time; the warriors desperate to break free.

From rookie mat-wrestler to international superstar, Masato Tanaka has proven he can crush all who stand in his way. He single-handedly took on Kanemura and the ultra-hardcore wrestling faction W*ING and finally took down WWF superstar Mike "Gladiator" Awesome in a history-making feud that spanned two continents and two promotions. Struggling to reach the top-rung of the FMW, Tanaka finally left when it seemed he would only ever achieve second best. But when a war-weary FMW needs a new wrestler to rise-up and lead the promotion, Tanaka returns with his new devastating move--the Diamond Dust. Tanaka embodies the violence of the FMW. From the blood he's shed, to the scars that mark his conquests, he's weathered all storms only to come back stronger. Destroying everyone in his way, he's shown he has the number of everyone in the FMW, and why he is The Enforcer.

The film studies the history of, and people who made, Extreme Championship Wrestling a cult sensation in the 1990s. Its an intimate look at the subculture of a subculture, and the athletes who were willing to take massive amounts of punishment for little money based on the promise of something more within their industry. This is a film about culture and human beings - who just happen to use tables and chairs and violent acts as part of their performance art. This documentary is not owned or supported by the WWE.
