The W*ING Alliance was a Japanese professional wrestling group that existed in Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (FMW) between 1994 and 1997. The group consisted of wrestlers from the W*ING promotion, which ended in March 1994 due to FMW hiring the top tier talent of W*ING and the W*ING alumni wanted to avenge the demise of the company from FMW and the company's owner Atsushi Onita in storyline.
Kazuyoshi Osako and Kiyoshi Ibaragi were former FMW employees who formed their own hardcore wrestling promotion W*ING to compete with FMW but the company was unable to compete with FMW after the company's top fan favorite Mitsuhiro Matsunaga and top villain Mr. Pogo both defected to FMW in 1993. Another W*ING wrestler Hideki Hosaka defected to FMW as well and W*ING ultimately met its demise on March 21, 1994. The group consisted of former wrestlers from the W*ING promotion who joined FMW during 1993-1994 and held Atsushi Onita and FMW responsible for the company's end and their aim was to takeover and end FMW.
Mr. Pogo and Mitsuhiro Matsunaga had been arch rivals in W*ING and they resumed their rivalry in FMW, which culminated in a street fight at Summer Spectacular on August 28, 1994, which Pogo won. Matsunaga was being groomed to succeed Atsushi Onita as the promotion's ace. On September 7, Onita defeated Pogo to win the Brass Knuckles Heavyweight Championship and Yukihiro Kanemura, a former W*ING wrestler made his FMW debut by attacking Onita after the match. Kanemura and Pogo, both former W*ING wrestlers formed an alliance and convinced Matsunaga to join them to form an alliance of W*ING alumni but Matsunaga did not make the decision. Matsunaga visited Kanemura at hospital after Kanemura was getting treated for suffering some burns during a match in W*ING and Onita misunderstood it and accused Matsunaga of betraying FMW. An enraged Matsunaga turned villain and joined Kanemura, Pogo and Hideki Hosaka to form the W*ING Alliance to avenge the demise of W*ING from Onita and FMW.
