NGI fought in full force in the third match of the show, as the four members took on the team of Izumo Yoritomo, Kenjiro Amagawa, Mikio Tsuruya & Ryosei Royama in eight man action…Ryosei Royama would be the one to fall, as Takayuki Ariwa nearly beheaded him with the Angelos for the three count victory…The big news took place after the match, Ryosei Royama stopped everyone in the ring from leaving and took a microphone…Royama praised NGI for their efforts in the match…but then said that this tour had “opened” his eyes…Royama explained that during HEROICS, he had been happy. He had enjoyed himself in CRIMSON due to feeling like he belonged somewhere for the first time…He called himself naïve, and foolish for allowing himself to be satisfied with where he was! Royama pointed around the ring, at Takayuki Ariwa, Mikio Tsuruya & Kenjiro Amagawa…He said that they all shared roughly the same amount of experience in the pro ring, but that he found himself on a treadmill that seemed to always be two steps behind everyone else. He claimed the gap that separated them all had grown by leaps and bounds of late. There was nothing he could seem to do to catch back up and that it was time to try and change his situation… Royama announced that he would be taking a leave of absence from Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON beginning tonight! Royama called it his “path”, and would be returning to his teacher Ryo Suzuki, in much the way Tenshin Komatsu had done all the way back in 2003. Komatsu had left a rookie and returned a pro-wrestler…Royama stated that if Suzuki’s brutal training couldn’t unlock his potential in one month’s time, that he would never return to Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON! Nobuyori Shimizu and Toshiro Noguchi began to try and convince Royama to reconsider, but Izumo Yoritomo snatched away Royama’s microphone! The enormous sumo spoke carefully picking his words with care. Yoritomo told Royama that he had to follow his heart, and if this was the path he had to choose, then to follow it without fear or trepidation. But Yoritomo warned that if Royama didn’t return to Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON, there would be three wrestlers who would be extremely upset with him, and that he would personally drag him back to the ring himself! Royama looked like he was going to object…but then walked away with his head held high.
In a match called “FRIEND OR FOE” no one really knew what to expect. All the fans in Tokyo knew, was that this was a match that could main event in any of Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON’s regions. Due to the juxtaposition to Saitama, Tatsumichi Akamatsu’s home fans had made the trip to see their hero, causing an odd atmosphere to erupt in the hall. 1/4ths of the crowd seemed to cheer Tatsumichi Akamatsu as much as they could, while the other 3/4ths hated Akamatsu as much as they could. The theme of the match was on display early, as Yuki Nomura and Seiji Ebisawa were immediately at odds over something so simple as who would start the match. Nobuyori Shimizu at ringside had to stop the two from coming to blows…On the other side, Goro Iijima was almost eager to listen to his commander’s orders, while following them without question. Iijima’s attitude caused the first sparks of the match as Yuki Nomura screamed at Iijima, asking if he was a man, or if he had always been someone else’s servant. This caused the former “Disorder King” to erupt, leading to a huge brawl in the middle of the ring. Ebisawa and Akamatsu had their first full interaction since Ebisawa’s return, and left no doubts in the hearts and mind of the faithful that Seiji Ebisawa would have a tough time defeating Tatsumichi Akamatsu. Ebisawa fired off everything he had on the Supreme Commander, but the tide would shift with just one incredibly vicious chop to Ebisawa’s neck and head. Yet, despite the pain and bruising blows, Ebisawa would not stay down or in some cases fall at all! Akamatsu seemed to be sizing up Ebisawa for a finishing blow, however the crafty veteran stopped it up with his own strike before making a tag out to Nomura while Akamatsu was stunned. However, the mutual distrust between the two partners would eventually spell their down fall. The two suddenly tried to use a double team maneuver, as Nomura held Iijima. Ebisawa attempted to run into Iijima with a kick…but Iijima moved, causing Ebisawa to accidentally hit Nomura in the groin! Nomura crumbled, and Akamatsu knocked Ebisawa out of the ring. Nomura tried to stand as Nobuyori Shimizu frantically pounded on the mat to get his attention. Shimizu was trying to warn him of what would happen when he stood up…and turned right into the Kinan High Kick! Iijima covered and scored the three count fall to end the match!
Akamatsu and Iijima surprisingly did not mock their fallen opponents…Instead Akamatsu looked down at Nomura before leaving the ring…Seiji Ebisawa climbed back into the ring, and began to apologize to Nomura, calling it a mistake…When suddenly, NOBUYORI SHIMIZU shoved Seiji Ebisawa! Shimizu began to scream at Ebisawa about the attack, as Nomura began to try and pull Shimizu back. Ebisawa seemed to be taken aback by Shimizu’s outburst, but then calmly walked over and took a house microphone…Ebisawa simply said that there wasn’t “a place” for him by their side, and then just left the ring…
Almost one year ago, the issue was the Gakusha Army from Pro-Wrestling FREEDOM versus the Rouzeki-GUN of Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON…Now, in June 2008 it was Pro-Wrestling DYNAMITE’s Gakusha Army against Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON’s BLACKHEARTS. The two matches kicked off with a six man tag contest. Two thirds of the TRIFECTA CUP championship team, Shino Hiriyama and Kazuhiro Okamura teamed up with their partner trained by Mitsuharu Nogami Hideki Sato to take on the BLACKHEARTS combination of “Texas Outlaw” Jake Bishop, Rui Kuriyama and Daisuke Yamazaki. The match boiled down to Bishop trying to fight everyone for his team, Kuriyama doing some good, and Yamazaki being almost useless…Unsurprisingly, it was Daisuke Yamazaki who fell to Shino Hiriyama’s Picture Perfect German Suplex Hold. The former Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON wrestler, and Ryo Suzuki graduate then leveled a challenge to the man he scored a direct fall over in the Trifecta Cup…Hayato Saigo! Hiriyama challenged Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON’s C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Champion to put his championship up against him at a future date, saying that he had “prepared the plan of victory” against Saigo personally…
Almost one year ago, Katsumi Gakusha defended his IFS Openweight Championship against the young power fighter from Rouzeki-GUN; “Aku” Toyota…Despite struggles, Katsumi Gakusha retained his championship. Time has passed since then…Gakusha went on to lose the IFS championship to Hiroyuki Takano who is now in CRIMSON. Since then “Aku” has become “Akuma” and won the C-1 Tag Team Championships twice, and made the finals of the 2008 Power Source tournament. It was under these conditions that the two men met once again for the IFS Openweight Championship that Katsumi Gakusha just recently regained from Yoshiaki Matsuda. The majority of the Tokyo Fans were bitterly divided on who they hated more, Katsumi Gakusha who generally wrestles in the Chiba area, or Akuma Toyota who has aligned himself with some of the most hated men in Pro-Wrestling…However, one section of the crowd didn’t have such issues as the Saitama fans joyously cheered the young man who represents their heroes fruits of labor, giving Akuma Toyota the first cheers he’s heard in well over a year since turning on best friend Yujiro Higuchi to join Rouzeki-GUN. The vast experience edge laid with Gakusha from the opening bell, while Akuma Toyota simply tried to bull his way in to get at Gakusha, the wiley former Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON member would cut off Toyota with a simple strike or hold. Toyota became visibly upset at his inability to catch Gakusha and charged in with a lariat out of the blue…Only to have Gakusha scoop him up and drop him with a hot shot on the top rope! Toyota landed on his throat, knocking the wind out of his lungs…Allowing Gakusha to grab him and hit a Doctor Bomb for a near fall! Despite Gakusha pouring on the offense, Akuma Toyota never seemed to be out of the fight or unable to continue fighting. The persistant power fight continued to fight back, but Gakusha would cut him off every time he attempted a move. Gakusha appeared to have the match won with a Blessful Crusher…However; Keiji Hirano suddenly sprinted to the ring and distracted Gakusha, buying Toyota time to recover! Hirano’s intrusion caused the non-Saitama fans to suddenly rally behind Gakusha, who had fought fairly…Only to watch Gakusha be BEHEADED by Toyota and a lariat as he turned around! Toyota didn’t cover, but instead pulled Gakusha back up and lariated him AGAIN! Toyota would repeat this three more times before coving Gakusha, only to have the IFS Openweight Champion kick out! The Tokyo fans began to cheer for the incumbent champion as Toyota sized him up for a gigantic Lariat…Toyota bounced off two ropes before throwing it…Only to have Gakusha catch the arm, and spin Toyota around into another Blessful Crusher! Gakusha covered, but Hirano yanked Gakusha out of the ring before the count could even begin! At this point, the Gakusha Army ran down to ring side and all hell broke loose as the BLACKHEARTS stormed the ring as well. Thankfully, the fight did not reach inside of the ring, as Gakusha prepared to finish off the groggy Toyota…Gakusha ran at Toyota…only to have Toyota spin around and CRUSH Gakusha with a Lariat! Gakusha crashed on the back of his head, and Toyota immediately capitalized by picking up Gakusha and hitting the AKUMA ICHIMONJI! Toyota held on…BUT GAKUSHA KICKED OUT! One of the few men, if not the very first to ever kick out of Toyota’s Akuma Ichimonji was Katsumi Gakusha on this night!! Toyota grimly lifted Gakusha back up to his feet, before giving him a one-two combination of Lariats to the chest and back of the neck, before hooking him and SPIKING him with a second Akuma Ichimonji! Despite his valiance, Gakusha had no power left and the three count was registered giving the BLACKHEARTS their SECOND top championship in Pro-Wrestling!
While many fans began to talk about if Toyota could have won without the BLACKHEARTS, Toyota’ loyal soldiers hit the ring and a celebration that was heavily booed erupted from the fans as Toyota was given his second championship belt! The crowd booed ferociously as Toyota lifted his championship aloft…The Gakusha Army helped their leader of the ring, as Toyota took a microphone…He leaned over so he could look Gakusha in the eyes…before asking him who the “boy” was now, and then dangled the championship Gakusha has held twice before his eyes! Toyota then announced that the BLACKHEARTS now control TWO Promotions, and that they would not be stopping there, saying the entire Pro-Wrestling world would kneel before their empire, and would be converted in the flames of conquest! Just then,. “Supreme Commander” Tatsumichi Akamatsu walked out with little fanfare, and climbed in to the ring…Akamatsu took a microphone, and launched into a speech. Akamatsu announced that Toyota had completed the “second stage” of the BLACKHEARTS campaign against the wrestling world before praising Toyota. Akamatsu explained that he had chosen Toyota, because he could sense within him the desire to grow, to fulfill the potential that Akamatsu could feel inside of Toyota’s heart. Akamatsu asked Toyota to finally explain why he had joined him…to which Toyota took a second to think before replying with conviction; “To become the strongest!”; which earned a round of applause from the other BLACKHEARTS! Akamatsu said that Toyota HAS become strong, very strong, and continues to grow every day…but said that Toyota hasn’t reached his full potential yet, and only time will tell on where he will end up…Akamatsu then announced, as an official decree within the BLACKHEARTS that Toyota is FREE of subordinate status in the BLACKHEARTS! Akamatsu clarified saying that he was giving Toyota full autonomy over his career, and what choices to make…Akamatsu even suggest that Toyota can now RECRUIT without Akamatsu’s approval! Akamatsu called Toyota the “seed that bears fruit” of the grand master plan, before shaking Toyota’s hand…In their respective corners, both Goro Iijima and Keiji Hirano looked less then happy with this development…
