Team No Respect was a professional wrestling faction in Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (FMW), which existed in the company between 1998 and 2000. The ideology of the group was that they disrespected all the wrestlers in FMW as well as the company's management and President Shoichi Arai. TNR was formed after Mr. Gannosuke, Yukihiro Kanemura and Hido turned on their ZEN leader Atsushi Onita out of jealousy with Onita due to his high ego and selfishness and formed a major alliance with Fuyuki-Gun. TNR was the most popular, successful and influential stable in the history of FMW and were involved in FMW's major storylines and rivalries during its two and a half year existence.
Atsushi Onita had formed ZEN in late 1997, which quickly removed W*ING and Funk Masters of Wrestling from FMW and absorbed the members of the groups into ZEN. Jealousy arose within the group on December 19, 1997, during the first show of the Super Extreme Wrestling War when Onita booked himself in the main event, which angered Mr. Gannosuke and Yukihiro Kanemura, who thought that their FMW Brass Knuckles Tag Team Championship match deserved to be the main event of the show. They were irate of Onita's egoism and selfishness. On December 22, Onita, Gannosuke and Kanemura lost a WarGames match to Masato Tanaka, Hayabusa and Jinsei Shinzaki after Hayabusa pinned Onita. Gannosuke and Kanemura attacked Onita after the match and left ZEN, along with Hido. On January 7, 1998, Onita, Koji Nakagawa and Tetsuhiro Kuroda defeated the trio of Gannosuke, Kanemura and Hido at ZEN's first show.Kodo Fuyuki and Jado attacked ZEN after the match and joined Gannosuke and Kanemura in a meeting in their locker rooms, where Kanemura named the merger "Team No Respect". Gannosuke became the leader of the group as he was the company's top villain and the reigning Brass Knuckles Heavyweight Champion and Independent Heavyweight Champion.
