[CRIMSON] Lineups for 3/21 to 4/06

Full lineups for the 21st to the 6th were released earlier today. All events lead into the two night Korakuen Hall GOLDEN CHANCE festival. Like the last two years, all tickets purchased for night one will carry over to night two.

Throughout the series, Kazuki Takagi has the "KAZUKI-CHAN BATTLE TRAINING CHALLENGE" where Takagi faces some of the strongest wrestlers in CRIMSON in order to level up for his match against Bishop on the 5th. On the 21st he faces Yoshiaki Matsuda. The 22nd he faces Akuma Toyota. 27th he faces Takayuki Ariwa. 28th he faces Kenjiro Amagawa, and he finishes on the 29th against Shuji Kawashima.

Noticeable by their absence are the entire LOVE squad, Masakazu Fujimoto, and Yankizoku's Ichiyo Tatsuko on all shows but the 5th and 6th. Tenshin Komatsu has apparently refused to wrestle now that he has a shot at the C-1 Heavyweight Championship whenever he wants, but there's no word on the others.

The 5th sees the GOLDEN CHANCE tournament. Arguably the biggest match of the first round pits the TEXAS ROUGHRIDERS against Yankizoku as SLAYER takes on Ikuji Royama in a battle of two men who rarely, if ever lose a direct fall. Hayato Saigo and Akahito Yamada both receive byes into the second round. The winning wrestler on the 6th will receive a C-1 Junior-Heavyweight championship match. Also of note, is the full return from Mexico of Sojiro Sayuki on the 5th, as he faces BIG BOY Tomizaki in his first match back in Japan in over fifteen months!
