The biggest event in the history of Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON was held at the sold out Iwate Prefectural Gymnasium to a rabid gathering of fans to see what was one of the biggest shows for CRIMSON of the year! The biggest match of the year was in the main event of the show as C-1 Heavyweight Champion Yuki Nomura put his championship on the line against “Disorder King” Goro Iijima and his career! The fans openly jeered the hated Iijima during his entrance, trying to throw him off his game as early as possible. On the flip side, when Nomura’s theme of “Glory” played, the fans in the Iwate Prefectural Gymnasium came alive with rabid cheering for the C-1 Heavyweight Champion! No one accompanied either man to the ring, and the match proceeded to start as normal with a title presentation. However, right as the bell was about to ring, Goro Iijima sprinted across the ring and CRUSHED into Nomura’s groin with a running knee strike! The fans openly booed as Iijima began to stomp away at Nomura’s head as he lay on the ground. As soon as the bell rang, Iijima covered Nomura, but the C-1 Heavyweight Champion kicked out at two! Iijima kept the pressure on Nomura, giving him no time to rest as he landed sharp kicks to the back of Nomura to keep the C-1 Heavyweight Champion off balance. Iijima continued to use simple holds and blows to keep Nomura from gaining any kind of tactical advantage in the match. At one point, Nomura began to fire off elbow blows to rock Iijima backwards, but Iijima simply grabbed Nomura’s hair as he ran into the ropes and violently yanked him back to the ground for a well deserved round of boos from the crowd. Despite Iijima’s continued control of the match, the fans never stopped cheering for Nomura, trying to will the C-1 Heavyweight Champion to keep fighting and to make a comeback against his hated enemy. Iijima finally made a tactical error and threw one too many kicks, allowing Nomura to catch his right leg and snap it off with a dragon screw! Nomura went to work on Iijima’s leg, trying to take away Iijima’s base and to take away his most powerful weapon, the Kinan High Kick! Iijima screamed in pain from Nomura’s painful holds and maneuvers, but like Nomura before him, Iijima refused to give up and continued to fight on with everything he had. After a long drawn out period of Nomura executing every painful hold he could come up with to no avail, Nomura switched tactics and began to set up one of his finishing moves, the Shukuen, however, Iijima used his good leg to knee Nomura in the face as he lifted him, and then nailed Nomura an enzuigiri! Iijima covered, but Nomura kicked out relatively easily at two! Iijima, who could barely walk on his right leg, lifted Nomura up and set him up for the Kinan High Kick…but his leg collapsed from his own weight! The fans began massive cheers of Nomura’s name as he waited for Iijima to get up before nailing him in the face with his own kick, then hooking him and driving him down on top of his head with the Shukuen! Nomura covered, and the fans counted along…but Iijima kicked out at 2.7! Iijima slowly and unsteadily rose to his feet, allowing Nomura to bounce off the ropes, leap into the air and SNAP Iijima’s head into the mat with a leaping DDT! Nomura covered again, but Iijima ONCE AGAIN kicked out at 2.7! Nomura signaled for the end, and lifted Iijima into position for the Twisted Angel Driver…when suddenly Iiijima SPIT something into Nomura’s eyes! The referee didn’t see it, and the substance was some form of liquid, and was clear, but Nomura immediately dropped Iijima and began to hold his eyes in pain! Iijima grabbed Nomura and PLANTED him with a Rydeen bomb! The referee counted…but Nomura kicked out at two! The fans exploded as Iijima looked visibly angry as Nomura crawled to his feet, still holding his eyes. Using his left leg, Iijima sized up Nomura and BLASTED him in the face with a Kinan High Kick! The crowd gasp as Iijima hooked both of Nomura’s legs, and the referee counted…but Nomura kicked out at 2.9!! The fans roared as Nomura refused to let his dream of being C-1 Heavyweight Champion end without the fight of his life. Iijima sat in the ring with a dumb founded look on his face as Nomura slowly got to his feet. Iijima prepared himself and threw the Kinan High Kick again! Only Nomura ducked under and cradled Iijima! Iijima rolled THROUGH the cradle and then IMMEDIATELY nailed Nomura with the Kinan High Kick using his right leg! Nomura and Iijima both crashed to the mat, but Iijima crawled over his his hands and covered Nomura…the fans counted along, and after almost five years with CRIMSON, Goro Iijima has captured the C-1 Heavyweight Championship! Wrestlers poured out of the back including all of Rouzeki-GUN and the CRIMSON Sekigun to check on their two leaders. Toshiro Noguchi began to angrily try to explain Iijima’s spitting in Nomura’s eyes, but couldn’t make the referee reverse any kind of decision…Finally the ring began to fill out with the Sekigun helping Nomura to the back for immediate medical attention for his eyes, while all of Rouzeki-GUN heroically helped Iijima to his feet for the title presentation ceremony! Several fans began to leave the building out of disgust, when familiar theme music began to play as “Beauty & Stupid” played bringing everyone back to their seats! Goro Iijima looked incredibly angry as IFS Open-Weight Champion Katsumi Gakusha walked back into a Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON ring! Gakusha walked to the ring in a designer’s coat, with the IFS championship proudly over his shoulder. Before Gakusha could reach the ring, Iijima had taken a microphone and began to BERATE Gakusha for his interruption of Iijima’s title ceremony! Gakusha calmly climbed into the ring, and took his own microphone before sarcastically applauding Iijima’s title win…then compared the IFS to the C-1, saying that the IFS was shinier, which nearly caused Aku Toyota to attack Gakusha…Iijima calmly, but with unmistakable rage asked why Gakusha had come out here. Gakusha began to respond, but was cut off by Iijima, who went off on a tangent on the IFS Champion, calling him an egotistical idiot who had to run away to become a star. Gakusha went to respond, but Aku Toyota suddenly SLAPPED the microphone out of Gakusha’s hands! Gakusha showed the first signs of being angry as Iijima’s tirade continued. Finally, Iijima ran out of insults for his former friend, and Gakusha calmly picked up the microphone, and then threatened Toyota that if he ever did anything like that again, he’d treat him like the young boy that he is! Gakusha then announced why he had come out, which didn’t include being berated…but that he had arranged to defend the IFS Open-Weight Championship in Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON! Gakusha added that the challenger would be a Rouzeki-GUN member due to them angering him…Gakusha then suggested it be Iijima in a champion versus champion match! Iijima looked ready to accept, when Aku Toyota STOLE THE MICROPHONE! Toyota barked out that Gakusha wasn’t worthy to face anyone in Rouzeki-GUN, because they wouldn’t lower themselves to his “lesser status” in a CRIMSON ring! Toyota then said that he didn’t care about status, and that he would take the match! Gakusha then…openly laughed, before again calling Toyota a “young boy”, saying that he wasn’t worth the effort…Toyota’s rage EXPLODED and he suddenly rushed Gakusha and lariat the IFS Open-Weight Champion over the top rope! Gakusha flung off his coat and began to try and storm the ring, but was held back by the younger wrestlers in CRIMSON. Gakusha was pulled to the back, but he hurled threats and insults the entire way. Once the dust settled, Goro Iijima accepted Toyota’s taking of Gakusha’s challenge, but said that Toyota would have to “level up” between now and the title match, and that while Toyota had come far since his joining of Rouzeki-GUN, that the next level would be much harder then the first…
Pro-Wrestling ZION was revived for one night in a Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON ring! The former PWC Tag Champion Tatsumichi Akamatsu and his partner Kengoro Sugamoto entered the first to loud chants for both men from the loyal former fans of ZION that had flocked to the show…Their opponents received a gigantic response as they entered together. The match itself was slow paced, with none of the men after a several month lay off from competing against each other looking to make any mistakes against their opponents they knew so well. The willingness to take any advantage is what allowed Akamatsu and Kengoro to take the early advantage as during a Nogami crab on Akamatsu, Kengoro sprung into the ring, nearly taking Nogami’s head completely off with an Enzuilariat, turning the tides of battle firmly onto their side. The two big wrestlers used their power to keep Nogami in their corner for an extended period of time, refusing to allow the “Tokyo Ace” to make the tag to “Mr. 300%” Kazuma Fujita! The fans rallied behind the former PWC Heavyweight Champion as he fought back against the two big wrestlers who continued to pound him down. Finally, Nogami was able to break free from Kengoro Sugamoto by dropping him on the back of his head with a German suplex whip before rolling to his corner to tag in Kazuma Fujita! Fujita exploded into the ring, nailing both men with shots before preemptively nailing Kengoro with Fujita Lariat! Fujita covered, but Akamatsu broke up the pin with a sharp kick to the back of Fujita’s neck, before hooking him and POWERBOMBING FUJITA! The crow reacted in surprise as the back of Fujita’s head bounced visibly off the mat! Kengoro tagged in Akamatsu, who began to nail Fujita in the face with sharp kicks, keeping for the legendary figure stunned, before grabbing a single leg crab hold to wear Fujita down even further. The fans began to cheer out for their Japanese hero as he struggled to the ropes, but Akamatsu simply pulled Fujita back to the center of the ring, almost like a young lion before applying even more tork to the single leg crab hold! This act seemed to enrage Fujita, who used all his power to push himself up and then walk to the ropes for the break! The team of Kengoro and Akamatsu kept the pressure on Fujita, wearing him down with simple holds, before Akamatsu NAILED Fujita with a gamengiri, dropping Fujita for a near fall! Akamatsu lifted Fujita up and placed him on the turnbuckle, before setting Fujita up for the TATSUBUSTER, however Fujita showed his trademark resiliency by fighting back against Akamatsu, before leaping off the second rope with a diving Fujita Lariat, catching Akamatsu square right below the jaw! The fans erupted in chants as Fujita slowly struggled to his corner to tag in his partner, Mitsuharu Nogami! Right as Fujita came close to the tag, Kengoro Sugamoto suddenly sprinted into the ring and NAILED Nogami with a lariat, knocking Nogami off the apron and into the railing! Kengoro pulled Fujita up to his feet and set him up for the Enzuilariat, but Fujita somehow managed to sense it coming and ducked under, before NAILING Kengoro with a short range Fujita Lariat! Akamatsu attacked from behind, however, nailing Fujita in the back of the head with another enzuigiri, dropping Fujita back down to the ground! Akamatsu lifted Fujita up, and prepared to hit Fujita with the running high kick…but Nogami suddenly SPRINGBOARDED into the ring and nailed Akamatsu with a dropkick, sending him flying out of the ring! Nogami checked in on Fujita before sizing Akamatsu up, and then dove out of the ring with a plancha…only to have Akamatsu move and let Nogami CRASH to the floor in a heap! In the ring, Fujita pulled himself to his feet, but was completely blindsided by Kengoro Sugamoto’s Enzuilariat! The fans roared in disapproval at Akamatsu and Kengoro’s evil actions, as Kengoro lifted Fujita up, hooked him and then DROVE him into the mat with the Zannin Driver! Kengoro left the ring as Akamatsu walked over and covered Fujita…but Fujita kicked out at 2.9! Akamatsu lifted Fujita and put him on the top rope, and set him up for the TATSUBUSTER, but Nogami reached into the ring and held onto Akamatsu’s leg! Akamatsu paused long enough to kick Nogami away that Fujita suddenly responded with a knuckle arrow punch directly to Akamatsu’s face, stunning him, and then DOVE for the tag, tagging in Mitsuharu Nogami back into the match! The fans roared in approval as Nogami raced back into the ring, nailing both Akamatsu and Kengoro with strong elbow shots, before dropkicking Akamatsu into his corner, causing Kengoro to tag himself into the match! Nogami and Kengoro stood in the middle of the ring exchanging hard elbow shots, but surprisingly, it was the smaller Nogami who was able to get the better of the stronger Kengoro as he began to rock the violent fighter with each and every blow directly to the face! Kengoro seemed stunned, allowing Nogami to bounce off the ropes…but was CAUGHT by a snap style powerslam by Kengoro! Kengoro sized up Nogami as he stood back up, while in the background, Fujita attempted to get back into the match but Akamatsu ended that by driving a knee directly into Fujita’s face, taking both men to the floor! Nogami finally reached his feet, and Kengoro raced at Nogami with a lariat, but Nogami caught the arm and turned it into a backslide! Kengoro rolled through, but Nogami NAILED him with a kneel kick directly to the face! The fans cheered as Nogami signaled for the Toky-O-Matic I, and set Kengoro up for the move, however, Kengoro fought out of the move, while on the outside Fujita whipped Akamatsu into the railing before rolling into the ring…Kengoro nailed Nogami with several hard elbow shots to the side of the head before going for a Lariat…Only to have Fujita bulrush HIM as he was trying to Bulrush Nogami, and CRASH into his full force with the Fujita Lariat! The fans ROARED as Fujita wildly gestured to Nogami to finish Kengoro off as Fujita went back to holding Akamatsu from getting back into the matchup. Nogami lifted Kengoro back to his feet, hooked him and then DROPPED Kengoro with the Toky-O-Matic I, hooking both of Kengoro’s legs and leaning back with all his weight as the three count was registered! All four men collapsed to the mat post match, all having spent their energy during the frantic final minutes of the match. The fans all rose to their feet and began to clap all four men’s efforts as they slowly pulled themselves to their feet. There were several calls for each man, as they stared at each other in silence, before Nogami and Fujita extended their hands to their beaten opponents! There seemed to be some hostility from the losers, as they didn’t immediately accept the hand shakes, but after a tense moment or two, Akamatsu and Kengoro both graciously accepted Fujita’s and Nogami’s hands and then all four rose hands in a celebration pose. Fujita took the microphone, and immediately cut a joke about his age, which the crowd accepted with laughter. Fujita then thanked the other three wrestlers, saying that they had shown what pro-wrestling could offer to a new breed of fans from a promotion that none of them had ever toured with. Fujita then thanked the fans, before saying that everyone should continue to support pro-wrestling, and the growing BATTLE FUSION concept, as the ultimate matches and concepts from pro-wrestling will continue to evolve and be on display in BATTLE FUSION for foreseeable future! With that, all four men bowed to the crowd and then left to Nogami’s theme “Club Foot”.
Rouzeki-GUN and the Sekigun clashed in the sixth match of the night for the C-1 Tag Team Championships, in a special match…A No Disqualification Deathmatch, allowing anything to go! Rouzeki-GUN’s Tenshin Komatsu and Makoto Saito were surprisingly the first to enter, both wearing attires very different from their usual wrestling outfits. Makoto Saito sported a black pants and suit combination, while Komatsu came out wearing a karate Gi, possibly to reflect his background…Their opponents weren’t so ambitious as Yoritomo and Hirano both came out wearing street clothes, while Hirano was also sporting cowboy boots for some unknown reason. Once the bell rang, the action was fast and furious, with the obvious hate spilling over for all four men as they wildly brawled around ringside. Hirano’s reasoning for his choice of footwear became obvious as he took off the boots and began to wildly attack both Saito and Komatsu in the faces with the boots…Komatsu quickly bled from the face due to the violent nature of the attacks, while Yoritomo picked up Saito, literally hauled him to the back of the building, and then CRUSHED him into the back of the building! The match finally reached the ring again with Hirano and Komatsu having a rather sensible wrestling match amidst all the chaos. Hirano nailed Komatsu with a backbreaker, and attempted to land his Moonsault Press, but Komatsu moved causing Hirano to crash into the mat with a thud. Hirano picked himself up, but Komatsu quickly capitalized with a Komatsu Knee Kick, taking the wind entirely out of Hirano! Komatsu covered, but Yoritomo lumbered into the ring and broke up the pin with a THUNDEROUS chair shot to the back! Komatsu rolled away and tried to stall for time before climbing back to his feet. Komatsu got back up to Yoritomo, and then struck a BATTLE POSE in his Karate Gi! Komatsu demanded that Yoritomo attempt to punch him. Yoritomo responded by throwing a lazy jab, which Komatsu parried! Komatsu demanded a second punch, so Yoritomo threw a roundhouse right, which Komatsu AGAIN parried! Komatsu demanded a third punch, so Yoritomo responded by WHACKING Komatsu in the face with the chair! Yoritomo covered Komatsu, but Saito rushed into the ring, having recovered from being squashed and made the save. Saito began ripping at Yoritomo’s face, including his eye, attempting to blind the former sumo star and take away his offensive power. Saito even resorted to BITING Yoritomo in an attempt to seriously wound Yoritomo! Keiji Hirano saw this taking place, and hurled one of his cowboy boots at Saito, clocking him directly in the face with the heel! Saito stepped backwards, and Hirano ran, SPRINGBOARDED OFF YORITOMO and hit a hurricanrana on Saito! Hirano reached his feet, but turned around right into a Tenshin Komatsu running Komatsu Knee Kick to AGAIN drop Keiji Hirano! Yoritomo had reached his feet again, but seemed to be seriously wounded from Saito’s savage attack, as blood poured down his face and into his eyes. Yoritomo stumbled towards Komatsu, but quickly became target practice as Komatsu landed vicious leg kick after leg kick intending to take Yoritomo’s power base completely away from him! Hirano attempted to get involved to help Yoritomo, but Saito grabbed the chair and then booted it directly into Hirano’s face, knocking him completely out of the ring due to the sheer force from the blow! Komatsu continued to land leg kicks, as Yoritomo wildly swung at anything that moved in a desperate bid to hit Komatsu, and to make the blows stop coming, however, finally Yoritomo’s leg finally gave out, and he crumbled to one knee, and couldn’t get back to his feet! Komatsu then BLASTED Yoritomo in the face with a kneeling roundhouse kick, and Saito followed it up with a running boot to the face! Yoritomo looked completely punch drunk as he was barely able to stay on his one knee. Hirano tried to pull himself into the ring, but Saito held onto him through the ropes as Komatsu sized Yoritomo up…and then BLASTED him in the face with a Komatsu Knee Kick! Komatsu covered the fallen sumo and scored the three count, having completely beaten the team of Yoritomo and Hirano in a match arranged for Yoritomo and Hirano to get revenge! After the match, a bloody Komatsu, and a hurt Saito called out any team to face them for the C-1 Tag Championships…and their call was answered by “The Backdrop Brothers”, Kenjiro Amagawa and Mikio Tsuruya, who had previously challenged the winners of tonight’s match! The Backdrop Brothers reiterated their challenge, and instead of denying, or insulting the team, Komatsu and Saito accepted the challenge, and wished them the best of luck, before leaving the ring and for once showing some respect!
Two runaway trains clashed in the C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Championship match tonight, as Naoki Daishi made just his SECOND challenge for the C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Championship against the undisputed current “ace” of the Juniors in CRIMSON, the C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Champion Hayato Saigo! The crowd was mixed from the get go, as both men are incredibly popular with the fans, but a majority of the fans seemed to be behind Hayato Saigo instead of Naoki Daishi, a fact that wasn’t lost on either man. They started out slowly, testing each other out with some basic wrestling techniques, and it was no surprise to the fans or Saigo himself, that Daishi was able to completely out-wrestle Saigo on the mat with relative ease. The match then turned fast paced, with Saigo pulling off a beautiful kneel kick to send a message to Daishi. While Daishi could control the match on the ground, the sky was completely Saigo’s! Having seen each other’s strength, the match kicked up a notch as they met in the middle of the ring with a strike exchange. Neither man was seemingly getting the better of the other until Daishi snapped off a savatte kick to the midsection of Saigo, before leaping into the air and attempting to lock Saigo in his Triangle Choke! Saigo quickly managed to squirm his way out of the hold, and get to the ropes before the hold could be fully applied, or any damage could be done to Saigo himself! They met in the center of the ring again, but this time Daishi quickly picked Saigo’s leg, sending him crashing to the mat without much say in the matter. Saigo was now in Daishi’s world, and knew it, as Daishi easily manipulated Saigo’s limbs, easily transitioning from hold to hold. The intention wasn’t so much as to win, but to humiliate the young C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Champion, and to remind him that even though they had fought before, Saigo wasn’t unbeatable. Daishi applied a step over armbar, but Saigo used his gymnastics experience to roll through the hold, then springboard to his feet and catch Daishi in a cradle! Daishi managed to kick out at 2.9, nearly costing himself the match after a fatal mistake, causing the fans to wildly applauded Saigo’s efforts! Daishi escaped to the floor, and stalled for time, trying to collect his thoughts and come up with a game plan. When Daishi finally started to climb back into the ring, Saigo slid between the middle and bottom ropes, catching Daishi square in the chest and sending him flying into the railing! Saigo backed up against the ropes, and waited for Daishi to reach his feet before running and diving over the ropes with a tope con giro! Saigo CRUSHED Daishi below him, sending both hard into the arena floor in a heap! Saigo was, of course, the first to reach his feet, and slid Daishi back into the ring, before slingshoting himself in with a legdrop, covering, but Daishi kicked out at 2.5 to keep himself in the match. Saigo pointed to the sky, and leapt up onto the ropes before waiting for Daishi to reach his feet. Once Daishi reached his feet, Saigo leapt off with a missle kick…Only to have Daishi move out of the way at the last second! Daishi quickly grabbed Saigo’s arm and rolled him over into a pinning combination of sorts…Saigo kicked out at 2.5, but then Daishi used his legs to POWER Saigo over into position for the jujigatame! Saigo desperately grabbed onto his hand, trying to keep Daishi from securing the hold, and hyper extending his elbow as he slid his body over to the ropes, and draped his right foot over the ropes to free himself. Daishi pulled Saigo up by his arm, and tried a hip throw, but Saigo somehow managed to land on his feet, and then landed a beautiful dropkick, dropping Daishi back down to the mat! Saigo bounced off the ropes, but Daishi sprung to his feet and got a drop toe hold, before trying for a reverse chinlock. Saigo rose himself up onto all fours, and Daishi suddenly fell to the side and pulled Saigo with him…and then used his feet to AGAIN force Saigo onto his back and this time secured the Jujigatame! Saigo SCREAMED in pain, but was able to immediately reach over and grab the bottom rope with his free hand! Saigo tried to immediately get to his feet, but his arm wouldn’t cooperate, and he collapsed to the mat holding it in pain. Daishi stood back, catching his wind as Saigo forced himself up to a sitting position, before Daishi landed several HARD kicks directly to the elbow joint of Saigo’s arm! Saigo refused to give up, and fired punches to Daishi’s midsection with his good arm to no discernable effect. Daishi grabbed Saigo’s arm, and pulled him to his feet, looking for some form of an armbar, but Saigo managed to block the hold, before suddenly pulling Daishi towards the ropes, running up them, and then arm dragging Daishi across the ring! Daishi got up, and immediately charged Saigo, but Saigo cut him off with a thrust kick to the face! The fans chanted Saigo’s name, as he hooked Daishi, and then somehow, bad arm and all, dropped Daishi vertically on his head with a Brainbuster! Saigo covered, but Daishi kicked out at 2.9! Saigo stood back up, then dropped a legdrop directly on Daishi’s face, before dragging him towards a corner with one arm! Saigo pointed up the sky with his good arm, and climbed to the top rope slowly, using only his good hand for balance to pull himself up with. Once there, Saigo steadied himself, then dove off with a Phoenix Splash…Only to have DAISHI MOVE! Saigo CRASHED into the mat with horrendous force, almost entirely on his face and didn’t move, as Daishi slowly rolled to the ropes, and pulled himself up to his feet. Saigo finally showed some signs of life, as he reached out with his good arm to try and grab something to pull himself up with…Daishi now stalked his wounded prey as the crowd erupted with unanimous chants of Saigo’s name. Daishi slowly pulled Saigo up to his feet, hooked him, and then DROVE him on the top of his head with a sickening Northern Lights Bomb! Saigo’s body folded in half, and didn’t move as Daishi crawled over, and cradled Saigo as the count began…but Saigo managed to kick out at 2.999, seemingly on pure instinct and a given drive to win all that was left in his soul! Daishi laid on the mat, collecting his thoughts and breath as Saigo still hadn’t moved from the position kicking out of the pin had put him into. Daishi slowly pulled Saigo to his feet, almost as if he was lifting deadweight, as Saigo’s limbs were weak, and almost had no strength left…The fans collectively gasped as Daishi hooked Saigo in the position for the Northern Lights Bomb, and then slowly lifted the C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Champion up into the air and then vertically dropped him on the top of his head once again! Daishi covered Saigo, hooking the leg as far back as he possibly could as the fans counted along, and FINALLY received the three count over Hayato Saigo after nearly killing him to get the goal! The fans, who had supported Saigo almost unanimously by the end of the match all began to chant for Daishi, his journey finally reaching it’s climax, as he finally has won the C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Championship after chasing it for such a long period of time. Keoni Murata and others rushed out to the ring to check on both men, as while Daishi seemed to be fine, Saigo was still completely out of it, after being dropped on his head so many times in such a short time span. After several minutes, both men were standing, and Saigo shook Daishi’s hand and left the ring to allow Naoki Daishi to absorb the moment that he has so desperately chased.
The former best friends and partners, Yujiro Higuchi and Aku Toyota clashed in the fourth match of the night against each other, in a heated, violent match up. However, unlike previous encounters between the two, Toyota never seemed to be in danger against his much larger opponent, as he systematically tore Higuchi apart using strategy that is usually unbecoming of “Power Revival” Aku Toyota, as he destroyed Higuchi’s left arm by Lariating the arm, then targeted Higuchi’s knee with a diving lariat to the back of the knee. Higuchi could barely put up a fight as Toyota lifted the massive Higuchi high in the air, and then POWERBOMBED him into the turnbuckle, with the move Toyota calls the “Shoukyakuro”, or Incinerator. Higuchi slowly pulled himself out of the corner, only to be met by a VICIOUS running Lariat by Higuchi, who covered Higuchi for the uncontested three count. After the match, Toyota took the microphone, and once again called Higuchi pathetic, pointing out that while he had only improved since the team’s break up, that Higuchi had actually found a way to regress. Toyota angrily told Higuchi to “retire” and save the fans from watching his pathetic displays in the ring, before spiking the microphone and storming off. Higuchi took up the microphone, and apologized to the fans, who responded by clapping their hands, and some calls for Higuchi rang out. Higuchi admitted that he only seemed to be spinning in circles now, and that Toyota had far surpassed him in strength…Higuchi then announced that he was transferring from Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON to another organization, in hopes that it would revitalize his career, and give him the focus that he currently lacks…Higuchi bowed, and once again apologized, then thanked the fans, and VOWED that one day he would return to CRIMSON and get revenge for Toyota’s betrayal against him!
Intermission was held after the Toyota/Higuchi match, and at the end of Intermission, Kazushi Mimura, the President of Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON came out to give a brief speech. Mimura thanked the fans for setting a new record for CRIMSON attendances, as they completely sold out every seat in the Iwate Prefectural Gymnasium, which received a loud reaction from the fans! Mimura then announced that Yujiro Higuchi had already asked to be released from his contract, and would be leaving Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON effective immediately. Mimura then brought out Eiichi Aihara, who took the microphone and also gave a brief statement. Aihara said that he was a wanderer, going from promotion to promotion in Japan, but that he had never been able to find any one place to settle down in…Aihara then announced that it was time for him to leave Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON and move on to another fed in Japan. Aihara added that he currently didn’t know where he was going to end up yet, and asked for the fans to look out for him in the future. Aihara then bowed, thanked the fans, and left the ring…Mimura took back the microphone, and thanked both Higuchi and Aihara for the efforts in the Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON ring. However, Mimura then added that their departures left a small gap in Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON’s roster, and that two new young wrestlers would “graduate” from their respective dojo’s to Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON! Mimura announced their names, from the Ryo Suzuki Dojo, Daisuke Yamazaki! And from Kazuma Fujita’s Dojo, Rui Kuriyama! Mimura added that both had been recommended. Kuriyama had been recommended by Kazuma Fujita himself due to his natural talents, and Yamazaki had been recruited by Goro Iijima during a routine visit to the Suzuki Dojo…Mimura added that this creates an interesting dynamic, as effective immediately, Daisuke Yamazaki, despite being a young wrestler who hasn’t even had his first professional match, WILL be considered a member of Rouzeki-GUN from now on, moving their ranks to five!
Mimura announced that he had one more piece of business to attend to…as suddenly “RETROSPECTION” began to play, causing the fans in Iwate to come to their feet in cheers, as the injured Nobuyori Shimizu walked to the ring! Shimizu showed good range of motions in his arm, as he waved to the fans with a smile on his face…In the ring, Shimizu took the microphone and began to give a general address to the fans, thanking them for their continued support and letters that have helped him through this process. Shimizu announced that his arm was still healing after the injury he had sustained, but that it was nearly ready to go…Shimizu announced that he would return to action possibly as soon as CRIMSON’s Anniversary Show on 10/13, which received a large round of applause from the fans! Shimizu’s tone turned serious, however, as he promised that as soon as his arm was healed, he would be gunning for Rouzeki-GUN, and would show them that the “Neo Generation” was finally here!
MILLENNIUM STARS’ SLAYER and Ryoma Inoue teamed up in the third match to take on the team of Keoni Murata and Natsuo Sakoda in the third match. No love was lost for any of the wrestlers in this match, as they all had some kind of connection to each other in recent weeks. SLAYER was his usual self during the match, a juggernaut who plowed through their opponents with relative ease. Inoue was also himself, which meant that every time SLAYER would hit a big move, Inoue would make sure to pose afterwards like he was the one who had executed the big move…Despite MILLENNIUM STARS’ recent successes, including SLAYER winning the #1 contendership to the C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Championship, they were unable to defeat the conbined abilities of Murata and Sakoda, as the reviving Sakoda was able to get Inoue alone long enough to spike “Mr. LSD” on the back of his head with a Tiger Suplex Hold for the pinfall victory! SLAYER attempted to attack Murata post match, but was held back by both Ryoma Inoue, and MILLENNIUM S.K., neither man willing to let SLAYER attack Murata and possibly get hurt heading towards the biggest match of SLAYER’s career, and of the current incarnation of MILLENNIUM STARS!
HEROICS continue to struggle, as in the second match they were completely beaten in a eight man contest. All of HEROICS teamed up to take on the thrown together team of Toshiro Noguchi, Takayuki Ariwa, Akahito Yamada and Sojiro Sayuki in a combative effort for both teams. HEROICS mgith have stood a chance, but the inclusion of Toshiro Noguchi tipped the scale heavily against them as Noguchi was once again on fire in the ring, as he took it to everyone in the match. The end of the match came when Ariwa dropped Takagi with the Hammerfall, and then Noguchi came right over the top with the Thunder Hammer, covering for the pinfall victory! In the opening match of the night, the team of the “Backdrop Brothers” Kenjiro Amagawa and Mikio Tsuruya teamed with Eiichi Aihara to defeat the gaijin duo of “Texas Outlaw” Jake Bishop and Jason Taylor, along with the former C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Champion Millennium S.K. The match came down to the gaijins and the Backdrop Brothers, and it was the combined tag team abilities of the Brothers, which allowed them to isolate Taylor, and spike him on the back of his head with a Union-style Backdrop Suplex for the pinfall victory to win the opening match of the night!
