Circus Maximus (2008) was the second annual Circus Maximus professional e-wrestling pay-per-view produced by Full Metal Wrestling (FMW). The event took place during the 7.2 cycle in October 2008 at the Roman Coliseum in Rome, Italy. It featured talent from the Alchemy and Anarchy brands after the Rebirth period.

The main event featured Mount Vesuvius II, where the winner will face the FMW World Heavyweight Champion at Ultimatum II.

Background[]

At Ultimatum I, Christian G. Smitten defeated Dr. David Diabolical, Adrian, Peter Saint, Eric Scorpio, and Guybrush Threepwood in the Gold Card Gauntlet Match to receive the Gold Card, which could be used at anytime between Ultimatum I and Ultimatum II to receive a match for the Full Metal Championship. Shortly after Lethal Injection, Smitten finally announced that he planned to use it at Circus Maximus against the defending champion, John "Doc" Derrick after waiting two cycles and constantly teasing at the use of his Gold Card. "Doc" then visited Smitten in his Skybox during the Alchemy 7.1 broadcast, and after spending hours with his "drinking buddy", Derrick smashed a beer bottle over his head before walking out, drunk, to his Tag Team Titles match with his partner, Skyler Striker. The pair ended up losing to the reigning champions Cactus Sam and Mortus.

During the Anarchy 7.1 show, Jack Boice was involved in a series of segments where his penis, Mr. Happy was campaigning to become the new GM of Anarchy after Saint Michael Dreamkiller was drafted by Alchemy GM Dante Jones in the 2008 FMW Draft. During one segment, a naked Boice stuck a campaign button through Mass Caesar's wounded shoulder, causing the irritable Caesar to force his servant, Flavius Mercury to give Boice his toga. Later, while The Great T.O. was in the ring delivering a promo on Guiomar the Barbaric, Guiomar rushed into the ring to attack The Great T.O. After pulling out a Battle Axe, he attempted to slice T.O. in two, but the blade was stopped by Caesar's sword. Before the two could wage war, Jack Boice made his way out to the ring in an attempt to do some more campaigning. While Guiomar was distracted by Boice, Caesar blindsided him, attempting to put his sword into Guiomar's chest. Before he could do so, he was stopped by Boice, and in the ensuing melee, Boice lost his toga again. Before leaving the scene, Boice was almost removed of Mr. Happy by Mass Caesar. Although no official match was made during the broadcast, the match was announced for the supershow, which will be for the Television Championship.

The team of Pure Extremist and The Celt, collectively known as The Fighting Irish, had been on a losing streak together. Most recently, the had lost twice to various incarnations of HavOc, once against Harlequin and Syanide in a Ultraviolent Tornado Tag #1 Contender's Match at Lethal Injection and again against the team of Mercutio and Syanide at Anarchy 7.1 in an Irish Pub Brawl. Also, the pair had also failed to qualify for the Mount Vesuvius Match, so the two were booked in a match by Anarchy GM Celeste, against each other for a spot in the Main Event. Not announced on the broadcast, however, was the addition of the Special Guest Referee, Mercutio.

Lastly, the Mount Vesuvius Match was scheduled to be held again at the second Circus Maximus. After an exciting match at the previous Circus Maximus, the planning for the match begin as early as Death Row II, as on the next broadcasts of Anarchy and Alchemy, qualifying matches were held for a spot in the match. Below is the list of people who qualified via winning a match. Others qualified through segments or were awarded by Jaro himself.
