FMW 10th Anniversary Show: Entertainment Wrestling Special Live was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (FMW). The event took place on November 23, 1999, at the Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, Japan. This was the tenth edition of the company's premier event Anniversary Show, commemorating the tenth anniversary of the company.

In the main event, H defeated "Hayabusa" (Mr. Gannosuke in disguise) with Shawn Michaels as the special guest referee (originally, it was supposed to be Dr. Death Steve Williams as the special guest referee, but allegedly due to his loyalty to Giant Baba and All Japan Pro Wrestling, Williams refused, which resulted in the WWF firing him and replacing him with Michaels). H and Gannosuke reconciled after the match and ended their rivalry for the first time in FMW and would enjoy a reign as WEW Tag Team Champions shortly after the event. In the event's other high-profile matches, Masato Tanaka defeated Kodo Fuyuki in a loser leaves FMW 13,000 volt electrical thunderbolt cage deathmatch to win the WEW Heavyweight Championship, forcing Fuyuki to leave FMW, Tetsuhiro Kuroda and Hisakatsu Oya retained the WEW Tag Team Championship against ECW World Tag Team Champions Raven and Tommy Dreamer and Kintaro Kanemura retained the WEW Hardcore Championship against Balls Mahoney.

The event is known in the United States as Judgment Day.
