Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON’s huge 3/25 show began with a simple enough opener as the two newest additions to CRIMSON’s junior division squared off with Hiroshi Kuroki taking on Ichiyo Tatsuko. Both men have around the same experience levels, but it was clear early on that Kuroki is the far superior wrestler. Tatsuko did everything he could to hold on, but eventually, Kuroki put him out of his misery with a sickening double foot stomp from the top rope for the pinfall victory.
The heat up for Hayato Saigo and Akahito Yamada’s C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Championship match continued in the second match, as they led respective teams into battle. Saigo teamed with HEROICS members HANZO and MUSASHI Tomizaki against the team of Naoki Daishi, Akahito Yamada & Natsuo Sakoda in fast paced six man action. In the end, it was HANZO showing once again that he’s a sleeper in the division, as he scored the pinfall over Natsuo Sakoda with the Metsubushi
Yuki Nomura led his young team mates of Eisaku Shimura and Shuji Kawashima to victory in the third match against their much more experienced opponents of DRAGON Takagi and the Backdrop Brothers of Kenjiro Amagawa & Mikio Tsuruya. As in any case with him in the match, the deciding factor was DRAGON Takagi, as Yuki Nomura was able to easily defeat CRIMSON’s lowest ranked wrestler with the Shukuen to finish off the match.
In a feud that’s been off and on for months, SLAYER and Keoni Murata had yet another singles match in a feud that currently puts them even, or near it. Murata, who had a fantastic 2007 has not had a great of a 2008 so far, and faced an angry SLAYER with much to prove after being almost forgotten in the junior division ranks. Murata attempted to use his speed against SLAYER, but the sheer power and presence of SLAYER proved to be too much, as he eventually caught Murata and crushed him with the Zanzai Lariat for the three count victory.
BLACKHEARTS and DARK SUMMIT met in the fifth match of the night. Without Akuma Toyota or Tatsumichi Akamatsu to lead them, it was up to Keiji Hirano to lead the BLACKHEARTS against their hated enemies of Goro Iijima, Izumo Yoritomo and Daisuke Yamazaki. Goro Iijima lived up to his nickname “Disorder King” from the opening bell, as DARK SUMMIT rushed across the ring before the bell could be rang, and engaged their opponents in confused fighting. Keiji Hirano was completely out of his element in this style, Rui Kuriyama was overmatched, and only Jake Bishop seemed to be comfortable with this kind of fighting. Bishop attempted to carry his team for victory, and many fans called his performance against the DARK SUMMIT wrestlers “spectacular” as he gave no quarter and didn’t expect any. However, in the end, it was Rui Kuriyama’s inexperience that proved to be the deciding factor as Goro Iijima finally isolated Akamatsu’s “son” and blasted him with a Kinan High Kick for the three count victory. Iijima took a microphone post match, and told Akamatsu that on the 15th, this “nightmare called the BLACKHEARTS” would be woken up from!
The first of three important matches began with the final match of the “TAKANO NEO GENERATION TRIAL SERIES” as Hiroyuki Takano took on the final member of Neo Generation Idealists; Takayuki Ariwa. Initially a match with little expectations, recent shows have shown as shift in Ariwa’s attitude, and both promised to have an exciting fight. The fans at the Misawa City Gymnasium were heavily into the match due to word of mouth, and neither Takano nor Ariwa let the fans down. There were fireworks immediately, as the two met face to face and began to push on each other using their foreheads…Ariwa shocked the fans by then HEADBUTTING Takano full force in the face, dropping the most technical wrestler to his knee’s from the impact! The crowd began to jeer the usually liked power fighter, but Ariwa poured on his attack. Ariwa began to abuse their strength difference by throwing Takano around like a ragdoll, and seemingly enjoying doing so. At one point, Ariwa put Takano in a argentine backbreaker, and paraded around the ring, before viciously hurling Takano across the ring! Ariwa stomped away at Takano’s body, to the extent that the fans began to chant for Takano to fight back against the aggression of Ariwa, to which Takano did. Takano used his wits to escape out of a second argentine backbreaker throw, before catching Ariwa by surprise with the Takano Flash! Ariwa stumbled backwards, and Takano attempted the strike a second time…Only to have Ariwa CATCH the kick, and throw Takano up onto his shoulders! The crowd gasped, but Takano didn’t panic and instead managed to hook Ariwa’s head and snap him over with a head scissors! Ariwa bounced to his feet and charged, but Takano dropkicked the charging Ariwa’s knee and applied a figure four! Ariwa screamed in pain, but then used an unorthodox way to escape the hold, as he began to PUNCH Takano’s legs with all his power. Ariwa’s blows made sickening thudding noises that should have just put more pressure on Ariwa’s own legs, but the massive strong man seemed to ignore the pain, and continued to punch at Takano’s legs, until the smaller wrestler was forced to release the hold in pain. To the amazement of the fans, Takano was the one limping from the hold, as Ariwa’s punches had seemingly damaged his legs. Takano attempted a dragon screw when Ariwa stood up, but the powerful wrestler gave Takano a thudding elbow shiver that made Takano do a 180 spin. Ariwa grabbed Takano from behind and HURLED him backwards with a Release German Suplex…Only to have Takano flip over in mid air and land on his feet! Ariwa turned around only to eat the Takano Flash for a second time! Takano gave a signal and climbed to the top rope, and dived off on a standing Ariwa with a body press…but Ariwa CAUGHT TAKANO without breaking a sweat, turned around, and then RAN TAKANO FULL FORCE INTO A TURNBUCKLE! The crowd gasped as Takano was sandwiched between the turnbuckle and the charging Ariwa. Ariwa picked up Takano and planted him with the Hammerfall…but Takano kicked out before the three count! Ariwa lifted up Takano to try the move again, but this time Takano slid out from behind and caught Ariwa with a sleeper, that he then dropped back on, slamming the back of Ariwa’s head into the mat. Takano lifted Ariwa up, hooked him and dropped him with his Takano Driver finisher…but this time it was Ariwa that kicked out before the three count! Takano lifted Ariwa and set him up for a third Flash…but Ariwa ducked, and in one swift motion spun around and landed a HELLACIOUS Angelos! Takano did a three sixty, and Ariwa covered…but Takano kicked out at 2.9 to a roaring ovation from the fans! Ariwa began to scream at Takano t stand back up, the crazed look in his eyes again. Takano shakily stood back up…only to be BEHEADED by a second Angelos! Takano landed flush on the back his neck and shoulders, and Ariwa simply leaned on Takano to score the three count victory over his friend! After the match, both men laid and sat respectively on the mat breathing heavily while the CRIMSON fans gave them a strong ovation for their efforts. Ariwa took a microphone after the match, and apologized for his behavior as of late…Ariwa said it was his competitive drive that he’s had since junior-high that makes him act like that…but Ariwa then said that he had measured Takano’s heart and spirit in battle, and that while the match had lasted, Takano had given him a thrill and a memory he’ll cherish forever…Ariwa then extended his hand, and said he was proud to accept Takano as a friend…Takano accepted the offered hand, and Ariwa told Takano that some day soon they should “have fun like this again” one day, which left Takano with a confused, and slightly worried look on his face…
The semi final of the night saw an inter-promotional junior tag contest between the PWC Junior-Heavyweight Tag champions from MILLENNIUM STARS of Millennium S.K. and Ryoma Inoue against the Nansei Nihon Pro-Wrestling tag team combination of GALLEON and FALCON Hori in a rematch from the 3/1 Korakuen Hall event that Nansei Nihon held where GALLEON and Pro-Wrestling FURY’s Jet Jaguar were victorious over the champion team in a non-title bout. Due to their outsider nature, GALLEON and FALCON Hori were the surprising heels of the match, as the fans jeered them for no particular reason, which seemed to baffle the Nansei team…their opponents, the usually hated team of Millennium S.K. and Ryoma Inoue were instead treated like heroes as they came out to face the “invading” team. This seemed to shock everyone from CRIMSON around ringside by how the fans were acting. This reaction from the fans was a fact that Millennium S.K. played up by grabbing a “Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON” banner from a fan, and then paraded around the ring area waving it, as he seemed to enjoy the cheers that he was receiving for once. The early stages of the match were confused, as S.K. and Inoue wrestled as dirty as they’ve ever wrestled, but the fans refused to quit cheering them. In contrast, GALLEON and FALCON wrestled as cleanly as they could, but the fans unmercifully booed their every action. After several minutes of this, the Nansei team seemed to have a change in heart, as GALLEON kicked S.K. low as if asking for the fans to boo him, which they then proceeded to do so. With that, the roles of the match were shifted as for once the MILLENNIUM STARS crew was wrestling as the good guys, and the good guys from NANSEI instead turned to cheating and double teaming, which only made the fans get more into the match. GALLEON and S.K. had a highly evolved and excited exchange late in the match that saw both men nearly win the match for their respective teams with their finishes, the G-CRUSHER and the Millennium Driver respectively, however, both men showed that they are near the crème of the crop of Junior talent as both survived the match. In the end, the match came down to their partners of FALCON Hori and Ryoma Inoue. Hori seemed to have the match won, but he missed a dive late in the match, which Inoue seized as an opportunity to try out his new suplex move, which was a cross-arm Northern Lights Suplex WITH a Leg hold! Hori was suplexed in this nearly inescapable hold, as S.K. held GALLEON back for the three count, and their fourth defense of the tag championships. After the match, GALLEON and Hori attempted to shake the hands of S.K. and Inoue as a sign of respect, which made the fans applaud them for the first time…However, S.K. and Inoue both kicked GALLEON and Hori low simultaneously, which instantly turned the fans against them, and the jeers rang out. The MILLENNIUM STARS left the ring area, as GALLEON and Hori recovered, and thanked the fans for this “interesting” experience, and hoped to come back some day. The fans responded with a warm reaction to the team, as everything in the universe went back to normal…
The first of two decisive title defenses for the “Supreme Commander” Tatsumichi Akamatsu began tonight at the Misawa City Gymnasium in front of a sell out crowd as he, and his pupil Akuma Toyota defended their tag team championships against the team that many CRIMSON fans considered the “strongest team” in CRIMSON of Nobuyori Shimizu and Toshiro Noguchi, the team that held the C-1 Tag Team Championships for almost four years. The atmosphere in the Gymnasium was electric with the fans waving hand made banners and flags handed out before the main event began. The challengers entered first to a new theme for Nobuyori Shimizu called “Ikiru Koto to Mitsuketari” by the band Onmyouza, with both Shimizu and Noguchi having stern expressions on their faces while being trailed by Takayuki Ariwa and Hiroyuki Takano. The title of “strongest” team would be decided tonight and NGI would not allow any lasting interference. Once the challengers had reached the ring, the lights in the Misawa City Gymnasium dimmed and “Engines of AKI” began to play to a universal negative reaction. Once again ignoring the fans, the “Supreme Commander” Tatsumichi Akamatsu and his captain, Akuma Toyota walked out with the entire BLACKHEARTS squad trailing them. The fans began to buzz as humanity began to fill the ring, and the ring area. The entire NGI squad and the entire BLACKHEART squad all looked prepared for a war at the slightest provocation, but their expressions were dwarfed by the stern expressions of all four in the ring. Nobuyori Shimizu and Toshiro Noguchi both received overwhelming positive reactions from the fans in the Misawa City Gymnasium. The champions were the exact opposite, with a few fans attempting to even pelt Akamatsu with garbage during his introduction. After a tense moment where all four stared at each other…the bell rang to start this highly anticipated C-1 Tag Team Championship match!
Toyota barely could contain himself for the bell, as once it rang; Akuma Toyota rushed across the ring and jumped NGI! Noguchi was knocked out of the ring, and Toyota turned his full attentions on Shimizu. Toyota’s overwhelming power allowed him to blast Shimizu with heavy forearm blows to the back and shoulder area that seemed to be taking their toil. Toyota attempted to set up for a lariat off the ropes, however, Shimizu ducked under the lariat before nailing Toyota with an elbow to the face knocking the BLACKHEARTS captain down! Shimizu then rushed across the ring and NAILED AKAMATSU! The crowd ROARED as Akamatsu’s face met Shimizu’s running elbow flush, causing the Supreme Commander to fall off the apron in pain! Shimizu threw up his hands, as fans began to wave their flags while cheering on their new hope for stopping the BLACKHEARTS! On the outside, the BLACKHEARTS tended to Tatsumichi Akamatsu, who was still lying on the floor clutching his face. Toyota stumbled over to the scene, and upon seeing his leader laying on the floor completely lost what cool he had. Toyota immediately armed himself with a chair, and despite Rui Kuriyama actually trying to stop Toyota, Toyota just threw Kuriyama off and climbed in the ring! The crowd exploded with jeers as the referee attempted to get the chair away from Toyota, but the enraged BLACKHEARTS member just pushed the referee away. However, NGI refused to be intimidated by their weapon wielding opponent, as both Noguchi and Shimizu squared off against Toyota. Toyota finally charged and swung his chair, but both men ducked away before Noguchi BLASTED Toyota with the Thunder Hammer! Toyota stumbled backwards right into Nobuyori Shimizu’s Tsuyosa German Suplex Hold! The crowd ROARED as the referee dived in to count the pinfall…but at the last possible moment, Kuriyama reached into the ring and swept Shimizu’s leg forcing him to let go of the bridge! As expected, this triggered as riot, as Ariwa and Takano charged across the ring and began to savagely attack the BLACKHEART members for daring to get involved! Whatever semblance of order this match first began with was instantly torn away as crazed confused brawling erupted all over the ring area. At one section of the building, Ariwa was savagely ramming Bishop into the back of the building while screaming at him to fight back…At another point, Takano and Hirano were engaging in confused fighting before Takano whipped Hirano into chairs, sending him flying. Kuriyama was laid out from a Noguchi Thunder Hammer…However, all attention turned from all this confused fighting, as from the side of the ring that he had fallen…Tatsumichi Akamatsu stood back up, clutching his face where Shimizu had cheapshotted him, with a look of primeval fury on his face. In the ring, Shimizu and Noguchi readied themselves as Akamatsu deliberately climbed into the ring slowly…However, as soon as his second foot entered the ring, Akamatsu showed his surprising speed as he dashed right into Shimizu before NAILING him with a massive knee kick directly to the midsection! Shimizu gasped for breath, and spit flew out of his mouth as he doubled over. Noguchi tried to get involved, but Akamatsu silenced him with a THUNDEROUS kesagiri chop directly to the shoulder and neck region, dropping Noguchi. Shimizu wasn’t so lucky…the NGI leader’s knees buckled, but Akamatsu grabbed Shimizu by the hair and refused to allow him to fall! Akamatsu began to deliver knee kicks directly to Shimizu’s sternum, one after the other with incredible force. Finally Akamatsu let go, and Shimizu crumbled to the mat…Akamatsu covered…but Toshiro Noguchi dived back into the match before the count could even get started to break up the pinfall! Noguchi showed off his skills by avoiding all of Akamatsu’s death strikes…however, what Noguchi failed to noticed was that Akuma Toyota had recovered, and he backed up right into a argentine backbreaker lift into a backbreaker from the incredibly powerful Toyota! Toyota dead lifted Noguchi and hurled him over the top rope, as Akamatsu left the ring as the match finally settled back down into a traditional tag team contest.
Toyota dragged Shimizu’s near lifeless body over to Akamatsu, before formally tagging the Supreme Commander into the match for the first time. Akamatsu’s first maneuver on the injured NGI leader…was to step on his head. The crowd ERUPTED in jeers as Akamatsu slowly and deliberately grinded his foot into the side of Shimizu’s head before viciously stomping Shimizu’s head. This actually seemed to waken Shimizu, as he began to try and crawl to the ropes, in a desperate attempt to pull himself back up to his feet…Akamatsu was waiting, and helped the young warrior to his feet before blasting him AGAIN with a knee kick that doubled Shimizu over perfectly, allowing Akamatsu to hook him and then BURY Shimizu with a powerbomb! Akamatsu held on for the pin, but Shimizu kicked out at 2.7. Unperturbed, Akamatsu held onto Shimizu’s legs and effortlessly turned Shimizu over into a modified high angle crab. The crowd began to chant Shimizu’s name as he tried to grab onto anything within his radius to try and pull himself to the ropes. Shimizu seemed to be failing, and looked almost out of it until Toshiro Noguchi hit the ring and kicked Akamatsu square in the face to break up the hold to a round of cheers! Akamatsu grabbed his face, but then CHARGED Noguchi while screaming obscenities before LEVELING NOGUCHI WITH A JUMPING HIGH KICK! Noguchi FLEW off the apron and crashed into the guardrail from the force of Akamatsu’s blow! Several female fans screamed as blood began to pour out of Noguchi’s face from the blow, as Ariwa and Takano both rushed over to tend to their senpai. In the ring, Shimizu had looked up to see what had taken place, and his mouth dropped open due to the display of power from Akamatsu…Shimizu’s eyes turned upwards to Akamatsu, who stood over him menacingly. Shimizu pushed himself up to his knees, and stared up at Akamatsu. Shimizu’s body was showing signs of being exhausted from the beating he had taken…but Shimizu looked up and met Akamatsu’s gaze…before the NGI leader screamed out “FUCK YOU” to Tatsumichi Akamatsu! The crowd ROARED at Shimizu’s defiance, but it failed to earn him any points with Akamatsu, who immediately slapped the kneeling Shimizu with such force that Shimizu immediately collapsed face first on the mat. Akamatsu seemingly became bored of beating on the near unconscious Shimizu after a few more stomps, and tagged out to his captain Akuma Toyota, telling him to finish the job…
Toyota climbed into the ring, and prepared to do just that as he lined Shimizu up for a Lariat…Shimizu slowly pulled his broken body up to it’s feet, and turned around…only to be DECAPITATED by Toyota’s lariat! Toyota covered, the referee counted…but Shimizu kicked out at 2.9 to a ROAR from the crowd! On the outside, a bandage had been applied around Noguchi’s head, but blood still poured from his open wound…However, Noguchi’s attention had been turned to what was happening in the ring, as he began to scream out Shimizu’s name to try and wake him up. The desperation in Noguchi’s voice caused the entire arena to pick up on the chanting, as the Misawa City Gymnasium began to almost shake from the emotion on display. Noguchi crawled up on the apron, despite the protests of Ariwa and Takano as the blood continued to pour out of Noguchi’s head like a sieve. In the center of the ring, Toyota was displaying the cruel streak that he had developed from Akamatsu, as he tauntingly kicked Shimizu in the side of the head as Shimizu tried to respond from the passionate calls of his name. Shimizu threw a few elbows to the midsection, but none of the blows had any effect or power behind them at all. Toyota ignored Shimizu’s blows, before leveling Shimizu with an elbow to the side of the head before covering once again. Shimizu managed to kick out, but just barely. The entire arena had a thick atmosphere, Noguchi had barely been involved in this match but he appeared to have a grievous injury, while Shimizu had been isolated and beaten on for ages and his body appeared to be almost destroyed. Toyota lifted the nearly dead Shimizu, and whipped him into the turnbuckle. Toyota charged in to follow up with a Lariat…only SHIMIZU MOVED! More or less it looked like Shimizu’s body just collapsed, but in the end, Toyota missed his lariat and went sailing into the turnbuckle sternum first…Both men fell down, but Toyota was by far the less injured. He placed himself in between Shimizu and Noguchi…but Shimizu got to his face and RAN at Toyota before leaping into the air! Toyota caught him and slammed him down with a spinebuster move…but on the way down, Shimizu tagged in Noguchi and the entire arena EXPLODED as the heavily bleeding second of NGI entered the contest!
Calls of Noguchi’s name erupted from the crowd as Toshiro Noguchi exploded into the ring with blows onto Toyota. Over fifteen minutes of pent-up aggression, pain, and frustration at watching his friend be hurt exploded from within Noguchi reviving his “demon” persona from last year as he viciously attacked Toyota with anything he could think of. Toyota’s eyes were raked, his nostrils were pulled on, and his face was blistered with shots from Noguchi’s elbows, forearms, and even a few straight punches. Despite his actions, the fans understood Noguchi’s emotions, and stayed behind the NGI second with everything they had. Noguchi bounced off the ropes, but Toyota ducked his head looking for a back body drop, however, Noguchi stopped short and then NAILED Toyota directly in the face with a knee! Toyota’s head snapped back violently, and his entire body stumbled backwards. Noguchi then exploded forwards with a Thunder Hammer! Noguchi covered, but Toyota managed to kick out at 2.5 to the disappointment of the fans! Noguchi was not to be denied, as he backed off, and then NAILED the sitting up Toyota with a sliding variation of the Tokkan! Noguchi refused to pin, however, as he forced Toyota to sit back up before nailing him with a SECOND Tokkan! Noguchi covered, but this time it was actually Tatsumichi Akamatsu who was forced to break up the pinfall, as he NAILED Noguchi in the face with a kick, causing blood to shoot out. Akamatsu looked to set up Noguchi for some kind of powerbomb, but to the utter amazement of the fans, Nobuyori Shimizu forced himself back in to the match! Walking unsteadily, and seemingly dragging half of his body when he moved, Shimizu still walked right up to Akamatsu and nailed him with a forearm shiver! Akamatsu completely no-sold the move, but let go of Noguchi to stare at Shimizu. Shimizu SCREAMED at Akamatsu, unafraid, and refusing to back down from his massively powerful opponent. Akamatsu responded with a god-awful slap to the face that sent shockwaves through the Misawa City Gymnasium…Shimizu’s entire body lurched to one side, his body bent over to fall…but Shimizu caught himself, and slowly forced himself to a standing position. The crowd gasped as Shimizu stared Akamatsu in the face before throwing HIS OWN SLAP at Akamatsu! The slap barely had an effect, but the emotional impact of the slap was felt as the building ERUPTED in chants of Shimizu’s name. Akamatsu stared at Shimizu’s pained, almost broken face with a look mixed with confusion and amazement, as Nobuyori Shimizu refused to back down, and refused to fall. Akamatsu snapped out of his moment as he noticed that Toyota had Noguchi set up for the Akuma Ichimonji after hitting him with a vicious lariat. Akamatsu grabbed onto Shimizu, holding him in a headlock to keep him from interfering. On the other side of the ring, Toyota was finishing his preparations for the Akuma Ichimonji, and was trying to lift Noguchi. Shimizu finally noticed what was happening, and began to SCREAM at Noguchi in much the way Noguchi had screamed at him minutes earlier. Noguchi may have been unconscious, he may have passed out from blood loss…but Shimizu’s voice reawakened him right as Toyota lifted Noguchi for his spin…at the last possible second, Noguchi showed amazing agility as he landed on his feet in front of Toyota! Never having had anyone counter the Akuma Ichimonji before, Toyota’s face was dumbfounded as Noguchi readied himself and then LEVELED Toyota with another Thunder Hammer! Akamatsu saw this taking place, and tried to break away from Shimizu, but this time it was Shimizu who held on to Akamatsu’s body with all his might as Noguchi backed against the ropes…before rushing across the ring and NAILING Tatsumichi Akamatsu with the Thunder Hammer, sending the C-1 Heavyweight Champion flying out of the ring and to the floor! The crowd erupted, and many jumped to their feet in excitement as Noguchi pointed to the heavens to signify something! Akuma Toyota had reached his feet, but Shimizu charged across the ring and NAILED Toyota with a running elbow that stunned Toyota. At the same time, Noguchi climbed out of the ring and to the apron before climbing to the top rope…On the outside of the ring, Ariwa and Takano took the initiative as both stormed the other three BLACKHEART members, and despite the number advantage for the BLACKHEARTS, they began to fight savagely to hold back Akamatsu’s forces from interfering…In the ring, Shimizu landed several knee strikes to Toyota’s body before hooking him and lifting him up onto his shoulders for a Thunder-Fire Powerbomb! Shimizu shakily backed up to the corner where Noguchi was…as Noguchi flew off the top rope, catching Toyota in mid air with a THUNDER HAMMER at the same exact moment that Shimizu dropped Toyota with a Thunder-Fire Powerbomb, sending Toyota CRUSHING onto the back of his neck! The crowd EXPLODED as Noguchi covered the broken body of Akuma Toyota…and for the first time in the entire existence of the war…Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON emerged victorious over the BLACKHEARTS as NOBUYORI SHIMIZU AND TOSHIRO NOGUCHI REGAINED THE C-1 TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!
Mixed calls of Toshiro Noguchi and Nobuyori Shimizu’s names rang out from the crowd, many fans jumped up in down in excitement. Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON wrestlers rushed the ring; including Yuki Nomura and Goro Iijima…Nomura dropped to his knees near Noguchi and Shimizu’s prone bodies and began to frantically try to wake them up. Iijima instead backed to the corner, with a look of amazement on his face. For many fans this was the culmination of the entire careers of both these men, that many had seen growing for years now…Iijima’s face told it all. He couldn’t believe these two men were the ones to first score a win over the BLACKHEART commander. On the outside, Akamatsu pulled his captain Akuma Toyota out of the ring and helped him to the back…Akamatsu showed surprising grace as he simply walked to the back…allowing the two young warriors to soak in their moment. Shimizu and Noguchi finally got to their feet, and were awarded their tag championships and trophies…both collapsed to the mat afterwards. Yuki Nomura took a microphone, and with his voice quaking and almost behaving as a proud father, told both Shimizu and Noguchi that he felt more impressed by what they did then anything he’s ever seen in his life, and that he was proud of both of them as both pro-wrestlers and as men. The crowd politely clapped and cheered as Nomura embraced both of them. Iijima took a microphone next, and almost seemed to be at a loss for words…The first statement he said was almost a whisper, as he said “I thought I’d be the first to beat him…”, to which Shimizu replied “So did we” to a round of laughter. Iijima admitted that he wasn’t good at this kind of thing, but then said that they showed everyone that they were the leaders of the “next generation”, and that since they had done it…He would have to live up to his end of the deal and FINISH Tatsumichi Akamatsu on the 15th! Shimizu and Noguchi both extended their hands, and Iijima shook them, before Shimizu reminded Iijima that it was now a promise between men…It was either take the C-1 Heavyweight Championship, or be a promise breaker…Iijima looked at the ground, before confidently saying that he would take back what was CRIMSON’s!
Shimizu and Noguchi climbed to their feet. The bleeding from Noguchi’s face was still pouring out, and Shimizu’s body looked broken, but both climbed to the second rope on connected turnbuckles. Shimizu and Noguchi held out their newly won championships, while Shimizu screamed out “Everyone! We did it!” to a fantastic reaction from the faithful.
