[CRIMSON] 12/24/10 @ DUE TIME in RYOGOKU KOKUGIKAN

For the first time since July 2008, the C-1 Heavyweight Championship saw neither Akuma Toyota or Nobuyori Shimizu fighting for the championship. Instead it was the former tag team, the AT CLUB of Takayuki Ariwa and Hiroyuki Takano colliding for the championship. With bad blood spilling out for over one year with Takano's betrayal of Ariwa, the two held nothing back going full blown for over twenty five minutes. Yet it was the colossus of Miyagi that reigned the day, as Takayuki Ariwa busted out his Splash Mountain not once, but twice to put his former best friend down for the count to claim the C-1 Heavyweight Championship. Ariwa made a gesture of friendliness to Takano, but the KYOURUI 6 leader refused Ariwa's hand swearing revenge on Ariwa and the Strongest CRIMSON Army in general...

When Takayuki Ariwa debuted in 2004 for Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON, Ariwa was seen as a strong yet lackluster graduate of the Ryo Suzuki Dojo. While a strong high school wrestler, and a potential college standout, Ariwa was observed as nothing more then a competent rookie. CRIMSON's shutdown in 2005 gave Ariwa time to focus on another love of his: Weight Lifting. When CRIMSON resumed activity in late 2006, Ariwa was noticeably larger in mass and breadth. Ariwa quickly used his newfound power and intensity to gain more attention then ever beginning an ascension up the ranks of CRIMSON both as a fan favorite as a member of NGI, to a despised villain as leader of Yankizoku, Ariwa's stock always seemed to be soaring higher then ever. Now in his sixth year as a professional, Takayuki Ariwa has etched his name as one of the few to ever hold the C-1 Heavyweight Championship and reached the pinnacle of pro-wrestling.

Arguably the battle that filled Ryogoku Kokugikan was the semi final as mentor took to arms against his pupil. The BLACKHEARTS were revived in spirit as the former "Supreme Commander" Tatsumichi Akamatsu faced off against the man he taught, CRIMSON's resident demonic soldier Akuma Toyota. The two abnormally large men collided in a battle of brute strength and power with blows that made fans wince and in some cases look away in disgust. Akamatsu & Akuma's chests were both covered in welts and bright red. Toyota bled profusely from the mouth after a hard punch from Akamatsu that earned jeers from the audience. On the biggest stage of Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON's entire existence, Akuma Toyota could not be denied as he unleashed his ultimate weapon the Sakujo to spike Akamatsu on his head at an awkward angle for the finish. Toyota declared himself the "King of Fighting” after the match, and revealed his intentions to challenge the C-1 Champion...

After fighting to a time limit draw in November, the two most famous tag teams in Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON history faced off once again this time for the C-1 Tag Team Championships.The rivalry between these two teams has existed since 2005 but the end appeared to be nowhere in sight as Tenshin Komatsu and Makoto Saito were the victors this time around with Saito putting Noguchi down with the Shiraku Blade. All four shared a handshake after the battle, but no end of their rivalry appeared to be viewable to onlookers.

After bursting onto the scene in the later half of 2010 to dominate the Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON junior scene, Kenta Arakaki finally faced his match against Bloody Gears' Ikuji Royama. The two hard hitters blistered each other with a combination of shoot-style and high flying. In the end, Arakaki became the first to ever kick out of the Sliding Shotei but his valiance ended shortly thereafter as Royama dropped the champion with a high kick for the victory. Despite his loss, Arakaki claimed this was not his CRIMSON swansong, and that he would reclaim the Jr. Heavyweight crown soon...

The PWC Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Championships continue to bounce around ping-pong style, as the thought unbeatable Okinawa Speed Stars of Hayato Saigo and FURY's Kotaro Ota were bested by PREDATORS, who reclaim the championships. Saigo appeared to blow out his knee on a moonsault dive to the floor on Kuroki & Tiger, which set up the finish minutes later as Kuroki locked Saigo in an inverted figure four making the Junior legend submit hastily. No word was given on Saigo's status, but he was taken to the hospital for inspection.

What should have been a friendly contest between Kenjiro Amagawa and Shinsuke Takahashi for the vacated Unified Openweight Championship quickly turned into a wild brawl due to heat remaining from their last match together at Wrestling Spirits in November. Amagawa proved to be the hardier of the two, as he eventually spiked Takahashi with the Burning Armageddon to capture the championship. Instead of the battle resolving their differences, Amagawa and Takahashi only appeared to be angrier at each other forcing President Yuki Nomura to intervene, making peace between his two star pupils...

After leaving CRIMSON to film a movie, Darker then Abyss, Masakazu Fujimoto made his return to Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON. Fujimoto shocked the audience by debuting a new look: A complete skinhead, and a dark beard covering a large portion of his face. The look was apparently inspired by Fujimoto's appearance while starring as lead villain in Darker then Abyss. Fujimoto's new look accompanied a new fighting style as Fujimoto completely destroyed KYOURUI 6 member Keoni Murata. Fujimoto landed three high angle power bombs on Murata, a lariat, and finished the former Junior ace off with the Mt. Fujimoto Bomb in less then three minutes...

As expected, Shuji Kawashima was no match for the "Texas Outlaw" Jake Bishop who had his way with the younger man before finishing off Kawashima with his Texan Claw Hold for the submission. Kawashima expected to be taken halfway across the world at Bishop's choice but was surprised when he was handed a train ticket. Bishop revealed that he had booked Kawashima for Ryo Suzuki's world-famous "Hell Training" course, the same that Ikuji Royama and Tenshin Komatsu had undergone which was so severe on both men it fundamentally altered their personalities...Kawashima begged and cried, but was ultimately dragged out by Yuki Nomura and others. Later in the show, a hysterical Kawashima was seen being forcibly placed on the train with Bishop tagging along, having the time of his life at Kawashima's misfortune...
