Almost two months since Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON’s last venture to the hallowed halls of the Korakuen Hall, CRIMSON returned for a special one night event titled “EXPLOSION ~ CATCH THE C-2” to crown the first ever open-weight singles champion in Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON history. The opening match saw MOUJA consisting of the new C-1 Heavyweight Champion Seiji Ebisawa, Hiroyuki Takano and Keiji Hirano take on a combined sekigun force of the Backdrop Brothers and Shuji Kawashima…As always seems to be the case, MOUJA used underhanded tactics to control the match in route to Takano dropping the rookie Kawashima with the Takano Driver for the three count. After the match, Seiji Ebisawa took a microphone, and revealed the “grand plan” that MOUJA has been orchestrating…Tonight, Takayuki Ariwa would win the C-2 Openweight Championship…Ariwa & Takano would then win the Tag Team Championships…and KEIJI HIRANO would take the C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Championship! In a shocking reveal, Ebisawa announced that Keiji Hirano would be dropping down to the Juniors in order to capture the Junior title! Ebisawa stated that it was “regrettable”, but that the only way to “protect” Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON was to make sure his army controlled all the championships to keep them out of “enemy” hands…Hirano took the microphone from Ebisawa, and cut a sarcastic promo on both Hayato Saigo and SLAYER, telling them that whoever won tonight would be the one who would lose the championship to him…Hirano also finally revealed why he had betrayed the BLACKHEARTS. Hirano mentioned the 2008 Power Source, and how Akuma Toyota had tried to pull rank on him and force him to lay down so Toyota could easily get the two points…Hirano called that “strike one”. He called Toyota then PINNING HIM in the match “strike two”, and then called the inclusion of Goro Iijima and Hirano subsequent “demotion” as “strike three”…Since then, Hirano had been working behind the scenes as a spy, feeding Ebisawa and Mimura details on the BLACKHEARTS plans and actions. Predictably, it had been Keiji Hirano who instigated the backstage attack on 7/27, as he attacked the BLACKHEARTS while their guard was down with a chair which led to the BLACKHEARTS inability to help Akamatsu himself. Hirano called it “their own fault” as they kept holding him down and pushing them back. Hirano called them stupid for trusting him when he had betrayed CRIMSON in the first place to join them. At this point, Akuma Toyota had apparently had enough and ran out to the ring…Only problem was, is he leapt into the ring with Ebisawa, Hirano, and Takano in the ring. MOUJA pounced on the “BLACKHEARTS Captain” leading to a three on one assault until the BLACKHEARTS ran out to save Toyota. The crowd was baffled, not sure if they should cheer MOUJA or the BLACKHEARTS leading to an eerie silence as Toyota began to curse, scream, and threaten the lives of all of MOUJA.
The C-2 Openweight Championship one night tournament was slated to begin with Naoki Daishi taking on his young returning disciple Sojiro Sayuki, returning after over six months in Mexico. Daishi entered first, looking surprisingly animated as he waited to see what his young follower had morphed into…However, ring announcer Akio Sanada suddenly made an announcement, saying that Sojiro Sayuki was not there! Daishi began to scream at Sanada for clarification, but Sanada directed everyone to a video screen that had been hung on the wall of the building with sound pumped over the PA system…On the screen was Sojiro Sayuki, who thanked everyone for coming to see him wrestle…but announced that he was NOT COMING BACK FROM MEXICO! Sayuki revealed that he had moved permanently to Mexico and even had gotten married…He apologized to his senpai Naoki Daishi, but added that he had found someone in Mexico that had been very impressive and had sent him in his stead. With that a tiger’s roar hit the PA system, and out walked a well built young man in striped yellow and black tights with a mask with fur on it. The man’s body looked like someone previously seen in Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON, but the mask made it impossible for complete clarification... Daishi looked both furious at this turn of events, and strangely bemused…The young masked fighter was introduced as Kaisen Tiger by Akio Sanada and was given a surprisingly strong reaction from the CRIMSON fans for a newcomer…The first tournament match of the night began with that as it’s prelude!
From the opening bell, Naoki Daishi had a fight on his hands, as the young masked Tiger went right to work with sharp kicks and slaps that Daishi had trouble absorbing. Daishi eventually caught Tiger’s arm and flipped him through the air with a hip throw, only to have Kaisen Tiger show off immense agility and land on his feet before connecting with a leaping dropkick! Daishi played on the defensive for most of the match, as Tiger continued to blitz Daishi with strike and move after strike and move…Tiger displayed several special attacks…He nailed Daishi with a running double knee as Daishi was on his backside called the “Bullet Wrath”, and even went for an absolutely spectacular inverted 450 splash called the “Tsuki Hikari” of “Moon Light”, however Daishi rolled away. This crash and burn led to Tiger’s falling, as Daishi never let up his advantage, hitting him with everything he had leading up to a crunching Northern Lights Bomb for the three count fall! Both men received calls of support for their work after the match…Daishi consoled the upset Kaisen Tiger, before taking a microphone. Daishi remarked that since Sayuki had left Japan indefinitely, that left him without a protégé…Daishi then asked if Tiger was interested in becoming his student? Tiger considered, but then accepted, and bowed deeply before his new mentor, Naoki Daishi!
The second tournament match was very different then the first. MOUJA’s Takayuki Ariwa took on the unaffiliated Izumo Yoritomo in a brutal, brutal match. The two mammoths ran right into each other with sheer brute strength and went to town on each other with brutal clubbing blows and chops. There was little in the way of actual wrestling, instead replaced almost entirely by sheer force. The highlight of the match was a spectacular show of force, as Yoritomo charged at Ariwa only to have the fearsome strength of Ariwa come into play, as he hoisted Yoritomo up and slammed him back down! When the shock of being slammed like a normal person wasn’t enough to put Yoritomo down, Ariwa’s patience snapped as he suddenly hauled off and punched the referee directly in the face! With him down, Ariwa left the ring and came back with a chair, which he then proceeded to blast Yoritomo with multiple times across the back and back of his head until blood began to come out of Yoritomo’s back from Ariwa’s assault! The referee came to and disqualified Ariwa for his actions, which only enraged Ariwa more! Finally, Yuki Nomura led Nobuyori Shimizu and Toshiro Noguchi to the ring to chase off MOUJA’s loose cannon. Yoritomo was slow to come to, but when he did, Yuki Nomura offered Yoritomo his hand in friendship…but the scorned smo refused and left on his own to prepare for the finals…
One month since his last appearance in Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON, Millennium S.K. made a victorious return as he teamed with Ryoma Inoue and Ichiyo Tatsuko in victory over Akahito Yamada, Hiroshi Kuroki & Natsuo Sakoda in trios action…However, it was not an easy victory as not only did their opponents put up a strong fight, but S.K.’s own team seemed to fracture all around him. Before the match even began, there was an issue as Ryoma Inoue did not come to the ring with S.K. and Tatsuko, instead insisting on his own entrance set to his new theme song “LOVE ADDICT”…Inoue appeared with new entrance gear, a comically oversized set of black sunglasses, and a leather jacket walking to the ring, but pausing every so often to sign a piece of paper that a “fan” presented him…Once in the ring, S.K. was absolutely dumbfounded, before asking Inoue what this character was…but Inoue replied over his own microphone that this WASN’T a character! Ryoma Inoue declared himself a “Rock Idol” saying that his 7/27 performance had been a show stealer. First S.K. asked Inoue what happened to the “Mr. Big Boss” name Inoue had been called himself in his absence, but Inoue claimed to have no idea of what S.K. spoke of… S.K. praised Inoue’s performance but stated that he had liked his sex idol character…However, Inoue called S.K. “short sighted”, and that now he was being who he was always supposed to be! S.K. at this point became angry at Inoue’s tone, before demanding to know why Inoue had not spoken to him about this change, but Inoue cut him off as he declared that due to how well he had done that he was putting out an exclusive LIMITED EDITION SINGLE WITH SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT! Inoue then said that he was now the “highest ranked” in the MILLENNIUM STARS as he is now a RECORDING ARTIST which trumps even a movie star! Inoue then sarcastically asked S.K. what movies HE had been in, to which S.K. had no response…Throughout the match, S.K. and Inoue fought for control over who was leading the team, with Ichiyo Tatsuko being utterly confused throughout the match as to who he should be listening to. Despite the lack of cohesion, it was “Rock Idol” Ryoma Inoue who scored the victory over Hiroshi Kuroki with his L*D Suplex Hold, that has now been renamed to the “Back*Beat” for the three count victory! Despite winning, neither S.K. nor Inoue celebrated together. Inoue simply placed his leather jacket and oversized shades back on and strolled away with his head held high.
Despite the chaos that had been raised by MOUJA, the fifth match of the night was more of the same as the BLACKHEARTS teamed up to take on the Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON forces. It was IFS Openweight Champion and C-1 Tag Team Champion Akuma Toyota teaming with his championship partner Goro Iijima, along with “Texas Outlaw” Jake Bishop and Rui Kuriyama to face Yuki Nomura, Nobuyori Shimizu, Toshiro Noguchi & Eisaku Shimura in eight man action. It was notable that Daisuke Yamazaki came to the ring with the BLACKHEARTS, and was sitting near their corner despite being “discharged” from the group after failing in his trial series…Jake Bishop showed why he was a force that no CRIMSON wrestler should take likely, as he was the one who scored the decisive victory in the match, catching Eisaku Shimura with his Texan Bomber for the three count fall.
Almost two months since the dissolution of HEROICS, the four members gathered in the sixth match of the night to welcome back Ryosei Royama, now called Ikuji Royama after a month of self imposed exile. Akira Tomizaki, HANZO, and Kazuki Takagi all came out in their HEROICS gear intending on a full scale revival for one night…but their fellow member Ikuji Royama seemed to not share this idea, as he came to the ring in powdered blue tights, wrist tape, his hair in a pony tail, and a stern look on his face…The other three members looked saddened, and also confused at Royama’s choice. Royama made no avertly friendly actions to any of them, and simply walked to his corner…After introductions, Takagi and Royama shook hands in friendship…only to have ROYAMA YANK TAKAGI’S HEAD DOWN AND PUNT HIM IN THE FACE! Takagi reeled from the blow, and a kenka kick sent Takagi flying out of the ring to the floor. Tomizaki and HANZO angrily began to demand why Royama had done that, when Royama suddenly burst out of the corner with a flying knee strike to HANZO’s face, knocking him out of the ring! Tomizaki attacked Royama, but every blow Tomizaki tried to throw was easily blocked and parried by Royama before he stopped Tomizaki dead with a stiff shotei to his face! Royama began to land kicks to Tomizaki’s unprotected midsection, doubling over Tomizaki, as Royama then landed a vicious knee strike to Tomizaki’s face. Royama gave Tomizaki a succession of his new moves. First the new Capture Suplex he calls “Captured”, followed by his Flare Up! Slam and then hit his new sliding shotei. Royama BLASTED Tomizaki as hard as he possibly could as he hurled himself towards him, sending Tomizaki’s head snapping backwards and whacking into the mat with severe force. Royama placed one finger on Tomizaki’s chest, and the pin was counted as HANZO finally woke up and dove into the ring to check on Tomizaki.
HANZO began to frantically call for Tomizaki to speak to him, but the young wrestler was completely unconscious. HANZO looked up at Ikuji Royama, who looked at the scene he had created with either disinterest or disgust. HANZO burst into a rage and attempted to charge at Royama, but was stopped by the referee. Royama neither flinched nor backed away from HANZO’s rage. HANZO took a microphone, and began to scream at Royama, asking him if he had “sold his soul” for power, and if this is what he had wanted, to hurt his friends all along. Royama calmly picked up the microphone after HANZO had spiked it, and calmly stated that his intention was not to hurt any of them…it was just that they were TOO WEAK to be any challenge for his anymore. Royama declared HEROICS “buried” from this day forward, as he will not waste time on them anymore, but then stated that if they got stronger, maybe he would associate with them once again! Royama then gently laid down the microphone, and left the ring without turning around once, leaving an enraged, yet still baffled HANZO cradling Tomizaki’s body.
The C-2 Openweight Determination Tournament’s final had come finally, pitting a woefully undersized Naoki Daishi against the largest man in Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON Izumo Yoritomo in singles action, living up to the “Openweight” aspect of the championship. However, Daishi had one advantage, as Takayuki Ariwa had done a number on Izumo Yoritomo, including an incredibly bruised chest and several welts on his back from the chair assault. The match played out as you would expect it to, as Naoki Daishi attempted to use his speed and tactical ability to overcome the sheer massive physical advantages that Yoritomo had over him, but every time Yoritomo would catch Daishi, he would make Daishi pay immensely for his actions. After several minutes, Yoritomo began to catch Daishi more and more often, hurting the former C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Champion immensely with just simply maneuvers. Yoritomo set Daishi up for his Nodowa-otoshi and lifted Daishi high…but suddenly while lifting, Daishi swung his arm causing Yoritomo’s weight to shift and they dropped to the ground for a second allowing Daishi to grab a Jujigatame! Yoritomo growled in rage, but began to PULL DAISHI UP IN THE AIR as Daishi frantically fought against Yoritomo’s immense single arm power to get full extension as Yoritomo tried to fling Daishi off, however, Daishi began to use his legs to pull Yoritomo’s arm straight while hanging upside down, getting full extension and forcing Izumo Yoritom to submit! Daishi celebrated around the ring at his immense upset and seemed utterly thrilled at his title victory…After the title presentation, Daishi took a microphone and promised that through this championship he would prove the strength of Junior’s in Pro-Wrestling, and shatter the concept that a Junior can’t beat a strong heavyweight. Daishi made a vow to raise this championship’s value above even the C-1 Heavyweight Championship by the time he was done!
Hayato Saigo aims to make himself the #1 Junior-Heavyweight in the world, and faced an immense threat for his championship less then a month after his last defense over Pro-Wrestling DYNAMITE’s Shino Hiriyama. Tonight it was SLAYER, a man who has only dropped a scant few falls in over a year of being in Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON. Ironically, the match played out much like Daishi and Yoritomo had, as Saigo tried desperately to use his speed and agility to take the fight to the near impervious SLAYER. SLAYER would catch Saigo and hurl him through the air, or simply club him down to the ground with force. However, Saigo’s hit and run tactics began to pay off near the end of the match, as SLAYER either seemed to be getting tired, or the sheer amount of attacks he was taking from Saigo was beginning to wear him down. However, Saigo then faced the problem of actually keeping SLAYER down…Saigo fought for his Brainbuster, and when he finally hit SLAYER with it, the monster simply stood back up and floored him with a lariat. SLAYER attempted a Powerbomb, but Saigo elbowed and punched his way out of the move leading to a SECOND Brainbuster! This time SLAYER stayed down and Saigo came off the top rope with a picture perfect Moonsault Press…Only to have SLAYER kick out with tremendous force at two! Saigo seemed to be completely baffled at what else he could do to SLAYER, and went for a third Brainbuster…but this time SLAYER simply grabbed Saigo by the throat and threw him halfway across the ring! SLAYER charge walked across the ring for another lariat, but Saigo caught SLAYER’s arm, and using his own strength forced him into the Matsukasa! SLAYER’s own body weight worked against him as Saigo’s cradle kept the MILLENNIUM STARS monster on the mat for the three count, giving Hayato Saigo his fourth defense of the C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Championship! Saigo was presented with the C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Championship, but his celebration was crashed as MOUJA’s Keiji Hirano walked out, while sarcastically clapping Hayato Saigo’s defense. Hirano took a microphone, and told Saigo to enjoy being the C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Champion, because soon, he would not be the “signboard player” for Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON’s juniors, as Keiji Hirano FORMALLY challenged Hayato Saigo for a date to be decided! Saigo, obviously irritated by Hirano’s actions readily agreed, promising to show Ebisawa who he shouldn’t send his “dogs” in the Junior Division.

Saigo, obviously irritated by Hirano’s actions readily agreed, promising to show Ebisawa who he shouldn’t send his “dogs” in the Junior Division.
