FMW 2nd Anniversary Show: Fall Spectacular (1991) was a professional wrestling event produced by Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (FMW). The event took place on September 23, 1991 at the Kawasaki Stadium in Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan. This was FMW's first show at the venue and it would become a venue for FMW's future major events. This was the second edition of the company's flagship event Anniversary Show, commemorating the second anniversary of the company.
The main event was a no rope exploding barbed wire steel cage deathmatch between Atsushi Onita and Tarzan Goto, which Onita won after Goto was knocked out and failed to answer the referee's ten count.
Atsushi Onita planned two major shows for FMW in the summer of 1991. The first show took place on August 17, 1991 at the Torisu Stadium in Tokyo, where FMW held a Barbed Wire Deathmatch Tournament, which Onita won. However, FMW had to split gates due to a concert taking place at the venue as well and FMW planned its next major show at the Kawasaki Stadium on September 23, marking the company's first show at Kawasaki Stadium.
After having made peace at the 1990 Summer Spectacular, Atsushi Onita and Tarzan Goto resumed their rivalry with each other after Goto brutalized his opponent Sambo Asako in a Barbed Wire Deathmatch on June 21, 1991, forcing the referee to stop the match due to Asako injuring his arm badly. Goto continued the brutal assault and Onita angrily shouted at him for injuring Asako. On June 27, Goto turned into a villain by turning on his partner Ricky Fuji in a tag team match and became the rival of Fuji, Asako and Onita. On June 30, Goto teamed with Horace Boulder and The Gladiator to defeat Onita, Fuji and Asako in a street fight. Goto and Onita clashed in many tag team matches with different partners throughout the summer, leading to a match between the two at Fall Spectacular.
