The Final night of Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON’s C-1 J-League took place at the hallowed hall of Miyako 1000 Tokuji Gymnasium. It would be an eventful night of action. In the first tournament match of the night, Hayato Saigo made quick work of Ichiyo Tatsuko with a Moonsault body attack for the pinfall to put himself at six points.
Hayato Saigo’s rival for the finalist spot in Block A, Akahito Yamada was also victorious over Natsuo Sakoda in a thriller. Sakoda threatened multiple times during the match using his unorthodox moveset, but Yamada held on in route to landing his Straight Jacket Suplex Hold for the pinfall victory. With this win, Akahito Yamada cemented himself as the Block A finalist and moves on to the finals!
The constant issue between MILLENNIUM STARS and HEROICS continued in the third match of the night. The former member of the MILLENNIUM STARS, HANZO took on the leader of the STARS himself, Millennium S.K. Like the match before it, it was a thrilling match with both men going as hard as they possibly could with their tournament lives on the line. Millennium S.K. seemed to have the match won with his Millennium Driver, but surprisingly, MUSASHI Tomizaki distracted the referee, pulling one of the STARS’ tricks! Millennium S.K. completely lost what little composure he had, and began to rant and rave at Tomizaki as SLAYER attempted (…) to chase down the fleet-footed Tomizaki. S.K.’s guard dropped completely as he watched this scene almost dumb-founded, which allowed HANZO to blast S.K. from behind with the Shobo, and cover…only to have S.K. kick out! HANZO slammed S.K. down and then climbed to the top to fly off with a beautiful Firebird Splash for the three count victory! When S.K. came to, he was informed that due to this loss he may have finished *FOURTH* in his block…and once again, S.K. lost his mind. S.K. ranted and raved until he was almost blue in the face, before being forced to the back where reporters and cameras followed due to this scene…Once in the back, S.K. called HEROICS a “scourge on my(his) life” and said that he was sick of them and their constant interference with his plans. Now the time had come for DRASTIC measures S.K. declared! S.K. swore to use all his power and influence in the world (…) to crush HEROICS and rip them apart piece by piece! S.K. then declared that he was instigating HEADHUNTING on HEROICS…this comment caused SLAYER to take notice. S.K. promised SLAYER anything he wanted if the next time they met HEROICS, that SLAYER would “make them pay” for their antics. SLAYER looked…like SLAYER, but appeared to be excited. Inoue appeared to be less then interested, however, as he was apparently on a cell phone the entire sequence talking to someone. Inoue finally noticed that both S.K. and SLAYER were staring at him, took the phone away from his ear and simply said “Did I miss something?”…to which SLAYER grunted and began to chase Inoue. Inoue saw SLAYER coming and fled the room as fast as he possibly could with SLAYER pursuing. This left S.K. alone in the room staring at the floor in disbelief.
The final tournament match of the night would decide if HANZO or Keoni Murata advanced to the finals of the C-1 J-League. Luckily for Murata, he only had to get by Sojiro Sayuki. Unluckily, Sayuki came prepared for a fight and tore into Murata with nothing left to fight for but his pride. While Sayuki put up a valiant fight, it was for naught as Keoni Murata used his experience and skill to take control of the match in route to landing his Backdrop Hold on Sayuki for the pinfall victory and the final spot in the C-1 J-League Finals!
In the main event of the night, it was the Sekigun against Rouzeki-GUN once again as Yuki Nomura, Nobuyori Shimizu & Toshiro Noguchi took on the combined power of Goro Iijima, Tenshin Komatsu & Makoto Saito. As always, this was a wild fight with both teams going at each other as wildly as possible…However, the slide for Rouzeki-GUN since DUE TIME continued as Yuki Nomura dropped Saito with the Shukuen for the pinfall victory. However, before the sekigun could celebrate, “ENGINES OF AKI” began to play, causing a stir in the fans as “Supreme Commander” Tatsumichi Akamatsu walked out flanked by his BLACKHEARTS. Akamatsu didn’t enter the ring, but instead stopped at ringside and took a microphone…Akamatsu congratulated the sekigun for their “worthless” victory tonight, but reminded them that on the 15th they wouldn’t be so lucky! Akamatsu then told Nomura to rest as much as possible heading into their 2/04 showdown, as Akamatsu wants to beat him at his best and not wounded…Before leaving, Akamatsu announced that on the 15th, he would have a “familiar” face to show off to Nomura and Shimizu…but didn’t give any more clues and left immediately after making his remark, leaving everyone confused at what he meant!
The BLACKHEARTS overall had a good night, as Toyota, Hirano and Bishop teamed on to take on the team of Takayuki Ariwa, Kenjiro Amagawa & Mikio Tsuruya. Despite trying to put up a fight against the BLACKHEARTS, the advantage was never in doubt, and eventually, Bishop landed his Texan Bomber for the pinfall over Ariwa.
