Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON ~ 10/26/08 @ Amarune Town Gymnasium

There was quite alot of movement tonight at the Amarune Town Gymnasium for Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON's second stop on their "CRIMSON CONCERTO ~ WEEKEND RHAPSODY" tour. Before the matches began, Goro Iijima led out the new C-1 Tag Team Champions Jake Bishop and Rui Kuriyama along with a fourth person who had a cowl over his head, concealing his identity. Iijima preceded to gloat about the trick he played on Akuma Toyota, and vowed to make Rouzeki-GUN even stronger then it was over a year ago...This brought out Akuma Toyota who charged the ring foolishly, and was attacked by all four men, but the C-1 Heavyweight Champion held his own against all four men until Nobuyori Shimizu and Hayato Saigo rushed the ring to save their friend...In the end, when the dust settled, Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON president and active wrestler Yuki Nomura entered the ring and played peacemaker. Toyota screamed bloody murder that he wanted Iijima in a singles match, to which Nomura admitted that he was "considering" it as a possibility...Nomura then turned to friend turned enemy turned friend turned enemy turned friend turned enemy, Goro Iijima and informed him that he trick the night before had been "despicable", and since he had already vowed to punish wrestlers for doing stunts like that, he was SUSPENDING Iijima from tonight's show, and fining him! Iijima took the news in stride, saying that being suspended didn't matter to him but made sure to flip off Toyota on the way out to enrage the champion...Nomura commented on the opening match, saying that Iijima had been scheduled to team with Hiroshi Kuroki against Natsuo Sakoda and Kaisen Tiger but now there was an open spot...Rui Kuriyama spoke up at this point, saying that he may have a replacement already...He then dramatically introduced the fourth member of the reformed Rouzeki-GUN, and yanked off the cowl to reveal SLAYER! The motionless masked man seemed to be in a...well...SLAYER-like mood, as Kuriyama explained that they had "found him" wandering around backstage yesterday without a leader after Sorai Kamachi abandoned him, and they have "adopted" him as their "mascot", saying that no one fit the ideals of Rouzeki-GUN better then SLAYER! Bishop patted SLAYER on the back before telling him to "go'gett'um", to which SLAYER simply...stared back at him with his head tilted as his partner and opponents came out.

SLAYER's debut as a member of Rouzeki-GUN wasn't much of a match. Nor did SLAYER seem to know it was a team match, as he attacked even his own partner Hiroshi Kuroki with reckless abandon. In the end, SLAYER hit not one, not two, but THREE Zanzai Lariats one to every single person in the match before pinning Sakoda for the three count...After the match, SLAYER reached into his attire and brought out a picture of Millennium S.K., that SLAYER seems to have in some form cherished...SLAYER then slowly ripped apart S.K.'s image before leaving with Kuriyama & Bishop. In his own way, SLAYER displayed his first personal challenge. He is not happy with his former leader!

MOUJA continue to steamroll as a team, as they once again were victorious in multi-man matches. Seiji Ebisawa was again the difference maker as he named Kazuki Takagi with a Powerbomb Hold for the three count victory...After the match, Seiji Ebisawa took a microphone and demanded that Nomura name him the top contender and not Iijima, saying that he had been "robbed" of the C-1 Heavyweight Championship. Nomura was even less amused then he had been for Iijima, and simply walked away without answering Ebisawa...

The second stage of the Backdrop Brothers' Weight Loss Challenge was next...Mikio Tsuruya showed up quite obviously in ill-condition...When Amagawa asked him what was wrong, Tsuruya admitted that he hadn't ate anything since yesterday after everyone called him "debu-san"...Amagawa, on the other hand, seemed to have felt horrible for what he had done as he GAINED half a kilo back! In the end, neither man made any progress whatsoever, and ended back where they were before the weekend started...They faced the two "annoying pests" of MOUJA in BIG BOY Tomizaki and Ichiyo Tatsuko. In normal circumstances, the Backdrop Brothers would have easily won the match, but it was clear from the get go that neither Amagawa nor Tsuruya were in good condition...In the end, Tomizaki scored what may be the biggest win of his career, as he nailed Tsuruya with a bamboo sword attack, and then leveled him with his oddly named "Nirvana Raid Crash", or a Fireball Bomb for the three count.

NGI collided in the fourth match of the night, as C-1 Heavyweight Champion Akuma Toyota teamed with Nobuyori Shimizu to take on Shimizu's best friend Toshiro Noguchi & the young rookie Shuji Kawashima. In particular, Noguchi and Shimizu seemed to have some heated exchanges. Shimizu seemed to be taken aback as Noguchi landed a vicious slap early in the match, highlighting that Noguchi is apparently not happy with Shimizu's career choice...However, despite their ill-feelings, in the end, the match came down to the strongest player and the weakest as Akuma Toyota lariated Shuji Kawashima hard enough to dislodge one of Kawashima's wrestling boots for the three count.

The fifth match, in the span of 24 hours had gone from a simple tag match to one of importance as the new C-1 Tag Team Champions, The TEXAS ROUGHRIDERS "Texas Outlaw" Jake Bishop and Rui Kuriyama teamed up to take on the team of OVERTHROW of C-2 Openweight Champion Naoki Daishi and Akahito Yamada. The match was back and forth with the juniors holding their own against their biggest opponents, their simple ground based offense giving the two brawlers fits. Bishop in particular seemed to have a hell of a time with Daishi, who would counter Bishop's Texan Bomber with a jujigatame or hip throw every single time to Bishop's great anger. In the end, Akahito Yamada reminded everyone that he was one of the strongest in CRIMSON as he hooked Rui Kuriyama's arms and spiked him on the back of his head with a Straight Jacket Suplex Hold for the three count fall! After the match, both sides got into an argument over the microphones...OVERTHROW formally challenged Bishop and Kuriyama for the tag titles, but Bishop countered by screaming out a challenge to Daishi for the C-2 Openweight Championship...After several minutes, neither side could come to an agreement, and left the ring without a resolution.

SLAYER had come to ringside with Kuriyama & Bishop, but he didn't leave with them...SLAYER stayed at ringside until Sorai Kamachi made his entrance. The huge Junior approached his former leader (and possibly his only friend) and simply stood in front of Kamachi. Kamachi seemed upset to see SLAYER, and simply said that he was "sorry" to him...SLAYER brushed past Kamachi and wandered to the back without acknowledging or saying anything to Kamach. The dramatics of a mute masked man only acted as the prelude for the main attraction, as after five years as enemies, the two Ryo Suzuki Dojo graduates that became the king of the Juniors teamed once again! Sorai Kamachi and Hayato Saigo teamed up to take on the team of Ryoma Inoue and Ikuji Royama in the main event of the night. Kamachi and Saigo had issues early, which can come from years of being on separate sides. They had trouble getting on the same page offensively, with each other messing up double team moves...In the end, they were able to get on the same page, but shockingly tonight it would NOT be enough! The two strongest juniors in Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON were decisively beaten by MOUJA's Ryoma Inoue and Ikuji Royama. Royama ended Kamachi's night with his absolutely vicious Sliding Shotei, while Inoue hit in rapid succession his GUTSHOT, Tomiko Special's, and finally the Beat*Box to keep the C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Champion down for the count! Inoue took a microphone, and challenged Hayato Saigo for the C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Championship, saying that Saigo wasn't anything "special" and that he'd give him a "lesson" on what actual talent is...

After the dust settled, Akuma Toyota and Nobuyori Shimizu came to the ring and the four men held a talk session...The three members of STRONGEST formally asked Sorai Kamachi to join them in their fight with MOUJA...Kamachi said that tonight had been "fun", but said that he wasn't strong enough mentally to take on MOUJA with them right now...and for that reason declined their invitation, but left the door open for the possibility for later...
