For the first time in fifteen months, Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON returned to the list of active promotions at the newly restructured Miyako 1000 Tokuji Gymnasium for CRIMSON CONCERTO ~ RISING 2012! Before the event began President Yuki Nomura, Head Official Hanzo Hijiyama, Akuma Toyota, Nobuyori Shimizu & Takayuki Ariwa greeted the faithful CRIMSON audience, thanking the fans for never forgetting about CRIMSON or their wishes for a full revival. Nomura pledged that this would just be the first step to a full revival to bring CRIMSON back to the top of the pro-wrestling world!
Naoki Daishi's first two graduates of his HYBRID FACTORY were given the opening match spot to show off their talents. Susumu Nakagawa and Katsunori Sekine; two junior heavyweight young men displayed crisp striking and basics in their CRIMSON debut. Nakagawa's extra experience paid off in the end as he tapped out the spunky Sekine with a chicken wing hold. The audience gave both men a rousing round of applause for their efforts ensuring future appearances in New CRIMSON.
After suffering a major back injury and only wrestling sporadically over the last two years, Natsuo Sakoda make his return to Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON facing former CRIMSON wrestler Kojiro Kanesaka. Sakoda looked good against the always game Kanesaka, but in the end, his ring rust proved his downfall as Kanesaka used his Dead End Drive to score the victory. Sakoda was lax in details regarding his future but said he enjoyed the experience of returning to the CRIMSON ring...
Two former champions faced off in an international battle as Mexican sensation and former C-1 Tag Team Champion El Halcon faced off against former C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Kenta Arakaki. The two threw everything at each other in a high paced exhibition until Arakaki finished off Halcon with his running face kick; the Hikitsuri. Arakaki made his intentions crystal clear, challenging Ikuji Royama to decide the "rightful" C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Champion in "new" CRIMSON.
Perhaps no group of wrestlers were more active during the CRIMSON downtime then the group that became known as "DOUR BOYZ" in the local Tokyo area. Mikio Tsuruya, Akahito Yamada and the newly rechristened "Danger" Kobayashi made their return to CRIMSON bringing their new hardcore style to bear against the traditional stylings of Kenjiro Amagawa, Shinsuke Takahashi & the returning Shuji Kawashima. Kobayashi's new shaved head and scarred appearance shocked many fans, along with Tsuruya's new extra bulk...Despite a lively performance by the straight wrestling trio, the evil hardcore tactics of their opponents and Tsuruya's new size gave them the advantage with Tsuruya finishing off Kawashima with a lariat followed by the Murder Carnival piledriver.
Highly touted prospect Naohiro Yamaguchi made his debut against his mentor Takayuki Ariwa in the semi final. Having discovered Yamaguchi, this was the big test to see how the former Olympic hopeful would cope. The 6'2, 240 Yamaguchi exceeded expectations, using his size and athletic ability to keep up with Ariwa early on showing off an impressive ability at controlling the pace of the match. A rookie mistake, attempting to charge Ariwa in the corner allowed Ariwa to take back control, finally putting Yamaguchi down with two Angelos clotheslines. Ariwa helped his young protege to his feet in a sign of respect, allowing Yamaguchi to bow to all four sides before leaving.
In a celebration of the return of CRIMSON, five of the top stars of the promotion faced off in an epic eight man tag match main event. The team of Nobuyori Shimizu, Akuma Toyota, Makoto Saito & Ikuji Royama emerged victorious over the combined efforts of Hiroyuki Takano, Goro Iijima, "Texas Outlaw" Jake Bishop and Rui Kuriyama when Toyota pinned Kuriyama with a lariat. The focus of the match was placed on Kuriyama who proved his doubters wrong as he was more then a match for his star studded partners and opponents, and even in defeat rose his stock significantly.
After the match, the wrestlers on the show gathered in the ring along with President Yuki Nomura, who introduced the new "General Manager" of Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON; Toshiro Noguchi! Noguchi entered the ring wearing a slick black suit, shaking hands of Nomura and the wrestlers. Noguchi explained that he would be overseeing the day to day operations of CRIMSON including the event structure. Noguchi made his first announcement, announcing that the POWER SOURCE tournament would return later this month! Noguchi further revealed that the winner of the tournament would be crowned the NEW C-1 Heavyweight Champion! This raised the ire of Takayuki Ariwa; who had never been beaten for the championship, but Noguchi explained the title hadn't been defended in fifteen months and this was the only "fair" way to decide the championship. Noguchi promised Ariwa a spot in the tournament, forcing a disgruntled Ariwa to step back.
Noguchi promised further details in the days to come, and thanked the audience and wrestlers for tonight's show to close out the evening.
