Power Source 2009

POWER SOURCE 2009

The 2009 POWER SOURCE tournament was the biggest yet with four blocks of five wrestlers each. With ten events for the entire tournament, it can be argued the tournament was "too big"... Twenty wrestlers in all vied for the tournament crown. Pro-Wrestling FURY's Tetsuhisa NAKAI intended to become the first outsider to ever win the tournament, but standing in his way was the "heart" of Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON Nobuyori Shimizu, and the Yankizoku leader Takayuki Ariwa...
