The FMW 5th Anniversary Show was a professional wrestling event produced by Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (FMW). The event took place on May 5, 1994 at the Kawasaki Stadium in Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan. This was the fifth edition of the company's flagship event Anniversary Show, commemorating the fifth anniversary of the company. It was the third edition of the event to take place at Kawasaki Stadium and took place on May 5 for the second consecutive year. May 5 would become a significant date for FMW like January 4 was for New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW).

The main event was an interpromotional no rope exploding barbed wire deathmatch between FMW's ace Atsushi Onita and WAR's Genichiro Tenryu. Tenryu delivered a Powerbomb to win the match. The match stipulated that Onita would be forced to retire if he lost but he revealed that the retirement stipulation would be for the 6th Anniversary Show, a year later, where he truly retired.

On January 6, 1994, Mr. Pogo defeated Atsushi Onita in a street fight to win the FMW Brass Knuckles Heavyweight Championship. Despite Pogo being Onita's top rival in FMW, a new opponent was required for Onita at 5th Anniversary Show, so Onita began a rivalry with Genichiro Tenryu because Onita and Tenryu thought that a rivalry between both men could become a huge success for FMW and Tenryu's WAR and they planned to work interpromotional matches for each other. Onita and Tarzan Goto represented FMW against WAR's Tenryu and Ashura Hara in an interpromotional tag team match at WAR's Revolution Rumble event on March 2, 1994. Onita pinned Tenryu to set up a no rope exploding barbed wire deathmatch between Onita and Tenryu at 6th Anniversary Show. Onita announced that he would retire if he lost the match. Onita received a title shot against Pogo in a no rope barbed wire deathmatch on March 17, to make his match with Tenryu, a title match but failed to regain the title.
