In the main event, Hayabusa defeated ECW Japan member Masato Tanaka. Another important match on the card featured Tetsuhiro Kuroda defend the WEW World Heavyweight Championship against Kodo Fuyuki, with Fuyuki defeating Kuroda to win the title. Originally, the main event was planned to be Mr. Gannosuke and H against Masato Tanaka and The Gladiator, as part of the ECW-FMW talent exchange. However, The Gladiator (who was also the ECW World Heavyweight Champion) left ECW for WCW in April 2000 due to Paul Heyman owing him money, which killed off the relationship between ECW and FMW.

Reception

Stuart of Puroresu Central felt that the 11th Anniversary Show "didn't live up to the hype and anticipation it had. A couple of very good matches and a perfectly watchable one didn't make it too bad but much of the undercard stuff was dreadful. Fuyuki's booking has dragged the FMW product down so far."^[2]
