FMW 12th Anniversary Show: Kawasaki Legend 2001 was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (FMW). The event took place on May 5, 2001 at Kawasaki Stadium in Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan. The event marked the return of FMW to the Kawasaki Stadium since Fall Spectacular in 1997. The event commemorated the twelfth anniversary of the promotion and was the final edition of the Anniversary Show as the promotion closed on February 15, 2002.
In the main event, Tetsuhiro Kuroda and Mr. Gannosuke took on Hayabusa and The Great Sasuke in an exploding 15000 volt thunderbolt octagon cage electric bomb deathmatch, which Hayabusa won by pinning Gannosuke. In another important match of the event, Genichiro Tenryu of WAR defeated Kodo Fuyuki.
On March 13, 2001, FMW held a pay-per-view event at Korakuen Hall which was headlined by a match between Tetsuhiro Kuroda and Kintaro Kanemura. The event was a failure as it drew a crowd of only 2,000 people and FMW started preparing for its 12th Anniversary Show, which marked FMW's return to the historic Kawasaki Stadium after 1997's Fall Spectacular. The event was conducted in the parking lot of the Kawasaki Stadium.
