- With the day of CRIMSON's emergence as a top flight global promotion drawing near, Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON celebrated their eighth year as an active promotion with a jam packed Iwate Prefectural Gymnasium event. The eight C-1 1Night Challenger Determination Tournament participants were brought to the ring one by one to open up the event. Yuki Nomura ended the festivities by giving a pep talk to the eight wrestlers, calling main eventing DUE TIME for the C-1 Heavyweight Champion the "highest peak" for any CRIMSON wrestler. All eight pledged their full intent to win the tournament, as one would expect...
- The most unlikely of the eight competitors in the opening eight man battle royal emerged victorious, as notorious freelancer Kojiro Kanesaka used his intelligence and "rodent" like trickery to score the victory. Bloody Gears members Endo & Tomizaki began early with cooperation, but that ended when Tomizaki offered Endo his hand. Endo accepted, and was immediately small packaged for the elimination. Ikuji Royama proved once again to be a dominant force as he scored three eliminations, taking out almost half of the field himself. Yukihiro Ogura, Strong Tomizaki & Ryoma Inoue were all blasted by Royama and pinned. The battle came down to Kojiro, Royama & Hiroshi Kuroki. Kuroki & Royama attempted to double team Kojiro,but their "alliance" fell apart quickly. This allowed Kojiro to come up from behind and dump both men for the double elimination. Kojiro mocked the CRIMSON juniors post-match saying that "freelancers' like himself and Kenta Arakaki were taking over the ranks...
- Naoki Daishi and Takayuki Ariwa opened up the 1NIGHT C-1 CHALLENGER DETERMINATION TOURNAMENT with a fast paced contested battle. Daishi attempted to use technique and speed to overcome Ariwa's brute power but ultimately fell victim to a trio of Angelos for the three count fall.
- Rui Kuriyama and Shinsuke Takahashi battled in a "forgotten wrestler" battle, as both men have struggled to find their singular purpose in CRIMSON. Despite both of their mutual lowly singles status, Takahashi proved to be a far stronger wrestler then Kuriyama and ended the night for the young power grappler with the White Flash.
- In a perfect example of youth vs. experience, Shuji Kawashima attempted to make good on his promises to make 2011 the "Year of Kawashima" by running through veteran Toshiro Noguchi. Noguchi ended those aspirations with a perfectly placed Thunder Hammer.
- Finally, the two leaders of AVENIR battled it out as original leader Kenjiro Amagawa battled his successor, the second leader of AVENIR Keiji Hirano. For years these two have had a fierce generational struggle, and this was no different as both men wasted little time in dropping bombs on each other. Once again Amagawa proved to be the stronger wrestler of the two, as he unleashed his limit break on Hirano to secure the victory, spiking Hirano with the Burning Armageddon for the victory.
- Interpromotional team the Okinawa Speed Stars of Kotaro Ota and Hayato Saigo secured the PWC Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Championships over KYOURUI 6's PHOENIX and Keoni Murata. This marks Kotaro Ota's first run with the championships, and Hayato Saigo's second. Saigo & Ota's "Okinawa 2 Oita" proved to be too much for Keoni Murata to survive. Ota & Saigo mentioned defending the championships all around the wrestling world as the "strongest junior tag team" in existence...
- The semi finals finally came pitting Takayuki Ariwa and Shinsuke Takahashi against one another. With a history as rivals within tag teams, both men knew each others' weaknesses well and went at each other with fury. Takahashi scored early and often with his quick finishers, but Ariwa proved to have too tough a hide to go down easily from Takahashi's blows. Ariwa fought back, blistering Takahashi with heavy blows and his trademark attacks. Takahashi was done in with a combination of the Hammerfall, and then as he rose to his knees, a THUNDEROUS Angelos for the three count and Takayuki Ariwa's advancement to the finals!
- On the other side of the bracket, Kenjiro Amagawa and Toshiro Noguchi faced off for the right to face Takayuki Ariwa in the finals of the one night tournament. Noguchi set a deliberate pace early in the match, the veteran knowing he couldn't keep up with Amagawa's youthful energy. Noguchi couldn't contain Amagawa's energy for long leading to a fantastic series between the two trading their heaviest moves. Youth won out over experience in the end, as Noguchi was dumped on his head with a Backdrop Suplex Hold for the three count, giving Kenjiro Amagawa the right to face Takayuki Ariwa in the finals of the tournament to main event DUE TIME!
- In what was one of the worst guarded secrets of the modern pro-wrestling age, Yujiro Higuchi's "X" partner was revealed to be none other then his mentor, and Akuma Toyota's former mentor, Tatsumichi Akamatsu! Despite this set back, CRIMSON "Ace" Akuma Toyota and his foreign partner; the "Texas Outlaw" Jake Bishop engaged their DYNAMITE opponents in what was a horrifically violent match. Minutes into the match, both Higuchi and Bishop appeared to be bleeding from the forehead and noses due to a FIST FIGHT on the floor as Toyota and Akamatsu had a brief moment to size each other up with neither man emerging victorious. For the most part, Toyota and Akamatsu were never given a chance to firmly battle it out, with only teases here and there. But the awesome power of the once invader Akamatsu proved to be enough even in small bursts as he blasted Bishop with a Jumping High Kick for the fall. Following the decision, Akuma Toyota's legendary rage exploded. Toyota secured a house microphone then DEMANDED a singles rematch against Tatsumichi Akamatsu! Akamatsu refused the match claiming that Akuma held nothing to offer him as an opponent...Toyota replied that he would prove once and for all that he was never Akamatsu's "disciple" or "Student", and that instead he had learned everything from CRIMSON itself! Toyota ended by claiming that Akamatsu refused because Akamatsu knew he could not win if the two of them fought! Now it was Akamatsu's turn to become enraged as he charged across the ring and PUNTED Toyota in the face making a dull thud echo throughout the Iwate Prefectural Gymnasium. Toyota crashed out of the ring where ringboys quickly grabbed Toyota to restrain him. Akamatsu screamed at Toyota over the microphone to "know his rank in the world", adding that he would now demonstrate Toyota's "level" by destroying him on CRIMSON's grandest stage! December Twenty-Fourth! DUE TIME at the Ryogoku Kokugikan! With that Higuchi and Akamatsu stormed out, but not before Akamatsu gave a punt to rookie Yukihiro Ogura who simply held the ropes open for Akamatsu...
- After that display of violence, it now became to decide the first half of the DUE TIME main event, as either Takayuki Ariwa or Kenjiro Amagawa would take their final step into the immortal hall of fame that is Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON's DUE TIME event. To show off how important the battle was, Takayuki Ariwa debuted a new "Big Match" theme, a cover of his theme song done by the world famous JAM Project. The combined effect of extra ring-time by Kenjiro Amagawa in his previous matches gave Takayuki Ariwa and small advantage early in the match as he took control using his superior power game. Despite the assault by one of CRIMSON's strongest wrestlers, Amagawa held in strongly, refusing to give in while regaining his strength. Amagawa fought back, leading to several thrilling exchanges between the two men and many close falls. Both men threw out their hardest shots but neither man could put the other away. Only two moves remained, both men's "Limit Break", but neither man could secure the other is in either the Splash Mountain or the Burning Armageddon. Who would first claim their respective move? The answer would be Takayuki Ariwa, who softened up Amagawa with elbows and three Angelos, before hurking the young warrior high into the air with the Splash Mountain for the three count! Ariwa's response was almost hysterical as after climbing from the very bottom of Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON after debuting in 2004, Ariwa had finally reached the "peak" of Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON. Not only a guarenteed C-1 Heavyweight Championship match, but also in the main event of DUE TIME in front of eleven thousand CRIMSON loyalists!
- Just months after reuniting as friends, Makoto Saito and Tenshin Komatsu reaffirmed why they were at one time considered the greatest tag team in all of Japan, as the two leaders of Bloody Gears dispatched of KYOURUI 6's tag team of Mikio Tsuruya and Akahito Yamada to "liberate" the C-1 Tag Team Championships. Tsuruya and Yamada put up a strong fight against the former champions, but Tenshin Komatsu ended their struggle with a Sliding Knee Kick to Yamada's face for the victory. Komatsu and Saito held a long session post-match in the ring with both waxing poetically on their past. Komatsu joked that last year the last thing he had thought would be possible, would be holding these championships with Saito again. Saito replied by finally asking Komatsu a question he'd been pondering (in his own words)...Saito asked Komatsu if he had ENJOYED their Deathmatch at last year's DUE TIME, and wondered if Komatsu would be willing to defend their titles in one...Komatsu's response was to stare blankly at Saito for several seconds before FLEEING THE RING. In his usual stoic manner, Saito watched Komatsu run from the ring at high speeds before stating "I'll take that as a "maybe"...
- With the first half of DUE TIME's main event settled, it was not time to determine who would defend the C-1 Heavyweight Championship against Takayuki Ariwa in front of the largest CRIMSON audience in history. Would it be the man who betrayed Takayuki Ariwa last November forming KYOURUI 6, Hiroyuki Takano or would it be the "heart" of Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON who went into the event as the now longest (defending) C-1 Heavyweight Champion in history, one year to the day of his winning the championship, Nobuyori Shimizu? KYOURUI 6 attempted to interfere almost as soon as the bell rang, but a unified force of the CRIMSON Seikigun & AVENIR led by Yuki Nomura forced Takano's soldiers away from the ring much to Takano's despair. Forced to fight Shimizu alone, Takano took the early portions of the match easy, bailing out of the ring multiple times. Despite Shimizu's injured shoulder from Takano's cowardly attack, Takano refused to directly attack Shimizu head on. Instead, Takano kept trying to lure Shimizu into a trap by following him out of the ring. Shimizu would have none of it, leading to an admittedly boring opening few minutes. When the match finally formally began, Takano and Shimizu proved to be a excellent battle as Shimizu outpaced Takano in terms of technical wrestling, but Takano made up for that deficiency with his agility and quickness. A pitched battle resulted, but after twenty five minutes began to firmly switch to the side of Hiroyuki Takano. He hit Shimizu with everything under the sun, but as always, the heart of Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON would not be so easily destroyed, as Shimizu relentlessly emerged from every submission and pinfall Takano tried. With his limit break failed, Hiroyuki Takano held no other cards left to play. Save one...Sheer unadulterated violence. Takano began to PUNT Shimizu relentlessly in the head, using Takano Flashes and Takano Axe Kicks, the later of which crushed Shimizu's face into a bloody pulp. After the fifth straight Takano Axe Kick, Takano could only watch in horror as Shimizu, guided by some supernatural strength of soul began to rise once again from unconsciousness. It's doubtful Shimizu knew where he was, or even who he was anymore. All that was left was an undying heart to never give up and to always press on in the face of unending danger. With the crowd chanting his name, Shimizu reached his feet but the horrific nature of his face scared even the hardiest of men in the audience. Takano himself hesitated for a second at what he saw before him. Only for a second did Takano, as he fired off a snapping Takano Flash catching the staggering Shimizu directly behind the head. Shimizu collapsed to all fours, and Takano readied for the kill blow with yet ANOTHER Takano Axe Kick...Before Hanzo Hijiyama suddenly leaped between the two of them waving the match off. The Iwate Prefectural Gymnasium was filled with cries of Shimizu's name as ringside doctors flooded into the ring to check on Shimizu. Takano staggered backwards into a neutral corner stunned at what had just happened. As doctors tended to Shimizu, cries of "NO!" came flying out of the huddle, from Shimizu himself, as he passionately attempted to convince Hijiyama to continue the match. Noguchi and others hit the ring to console Shimizu and help the doctors carry him to the back, as Takano was formally announced as the NEW C-1 Heavyweight Champion! KYOURUI 6 hit the ring to celebrate their greatest achievement yet with their leader.
- Takano and KYOURUI 6's celebration lasted for several minutes, and included copious amounts of alcoholic beverages brought to the ring by Keoni Murata. However, the fun and brevity was abruptly disturbed as Takayuki Ariwa appeared at ringside wearing shorts and a towel over his shoulders. Takano beckoned his soldiers back as Ariwa climbed into the ring. Ariwa accepted a microphone from Hanzo Hijiyama. Ariwa opened up by congratulating his former best friend on his accomplishment, telling Takano to be proud of ending the reign of Nobuyori Shimizu through his own merits. Ariwa continued by saying that eleven months ago, Takano had betrayed him displaying his "true colors" as a wolf in sheep's clothing fooling everyone with his good looks. But deep within behind his outward personality and within his heart was a true dragon, a predator, waiting for any weakness to attack and consume at any cost. Takano had ducked, avoided, and escaped from every attempt Ariwa engineered for revenge for eleven months. But in two months, at DUE TIME, at Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan, there was no longer anywhere to go. Nowhere for Takano to hide. Takano subtly moved KYOURUI 6 between him and Ariwa, as Ariwa pointed at Takano. Ariwa announced that at DUE TIME, the "glorious reign" of Hiroyuki Takano would come to a halt as he would finally extract revenge out of Takano. Not just for himself, but for every single CRIMSON wrestler Takano and KYOURUI 6 had attacked and cheated. For every fan who paid to see great matches, and instead had KYOURUI 6 constantly ruin them with their antics. Ariwa pledged to "destroy" Takano, and thereby KYOURUI 6 with one definitive victory. With that, Ariwa pulled his towel over his head and left the ring leaving Takano alone in the ring clutching the C-1 Heavyweight Championship...
