The only wrestler to suffer injuries at the C-1 FUSION LEAGUE finals, was unsurprisingly, Nobuyori Shimizu.
After their win, the AT CLUB forced the title presentation ceremony to take place in the backstage area of the Towada Citizen Gymnasium, after fleeing the ring like criminals. Hiroyuki Takano seemed to be in shock after having finally scored a victory over Akuma Toyota, and needed Ariwa to snap him out of it several times. Hanzo Hijiyama was less then enthusiastic about awarding the championships to the AT CLUB, but did his duties like a professional. After the ceremony ended, the AT CLUB prepared to cut a promo, but there was suddenly a commotion off camera. Yankizoku formed a guard around their leader as Tenshin Komatsu and LOVE appeared! Komatsu led off with the always fantastic sarcastic slow clap, before praising the AT CLUB for winning. But then Komatsu reminded them that without his intervention, that they would have lost to Toyota. Komatsu then suggested an ALLIANCE between the two groups to accomplish their goals! Komatsu listed off several reasons why they should align:
Yankizoku hates Akuma Toyota. LOVE hates Akuma Toyota.
Yankizoku hates Nobuyori Shimizu. LOVE hates Nobuyori Shimizu.
Yankizoku wants to rule CRIMSON. LOVE wants to rule CRIMSON.
Komatsu said that they could align until their opponents were destroyed, and at that point decide who would rule CRIMSON. And settle such things like when ShinoMura would take the C-1 Tag titles. Komatsu extended his hand to Ariwa, but Ariwa SLAPPED Komatsu's hand away. Ariwa began to scream that they would have beaten Toyota without his help, and that the only reason Komatsu was coming to them was because he had no one else to help him. But Takano suddenly leaped in, acting almost like the voice of reason, saying that they would go along with LOVE for now, but that if Komatsu didn't show results, Yankizoku would rip them apart...Komatsu mockingly bowed, before thanking Yankizoku for their time...
The other big news was during Akuma Toyota's post match interviews. Toyota was absolutely exhausted having been attacked by almost every heel on the CRIMSON roster in the main event. Toyota expressed regret over not being able to win the match, but all the attention was ripped away from Toyota as JAKE BISHOP appeared! With Kuriyama flanking him, Bishop and Toyota had a moment of silence as they stared at each other all of them being former BLACKHEART members. Toyota used the English he picked up in America, as he asked Bishop what he was doing. Bishop took a moment to think, before he said "Looks like we have common enemies Toyota". Bishop went further, saying that even though he hated Toyota's guts, he couldn't let LOVE get away with what had happened to him. And he knew Toyota wouldn't seek revenge either. Bishop suggested they form an ALLIANCE to seek revenge against LOVE and if Yankizoku got in their way, them as well! Kuriyama himself looked shocked at Bishop's words as he translated as fast as he could. Toyota stood up from his chair, causing a stare down between the two singles champions of Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON before Bishop and Toyota SHOOK HANDS! Light bulbs went off as the press snapped pictures up as arguably the strongest two in CRIMSON formed a team to take down their enemies!
Every other wrestler on the card, including Shimizu's partner Akuma Toyota is said to be injury free. However, Shimizu was almost murdered when Takayuki Ariwa hit an Apron Splash Mountain to the floor. Shimizu was kept overnight at a local hospital, and was diagnosed with a mild concussion and several severe bruises. Amazingly, Shimizu avoided cracked ribs or worse. As of right now, Shimizu is slated to miss most, if not all of February's CRIMSON shows in order to fully heal up.
Yuki Nomura slammed the hammer down on Yankizoku and Tenshin Komatsu for their actions. Every single member of Yankizoku was heavily fined, but Nomura gave Komatsu the worst of all of them. There are no hard figures, but Nomura is believed to have fined Komatsu up to fifty percent of his entire monthly wage for his first month back in CRIMSON. It was Tenshin Komatsu who landed the deciding blow that gave the AT CLUB the tag titles, once again poking his nose into a tag title match.
With Nobuyori Shimizu out of the Zepp Sapporo show, Yuki Nomura was given two requests of participation on the event. The first was from Masakazu Fujimoto, the loveable big man saying that he would take time off from shooting his latest episode to appear and help out. The other? From YOSHIAKI MATSUDA! Matsuda wasn't half as kind as Fujimoto, and instead simply said, "I'm going to be there anyway...". Due to that reason, Matsuda has been added to the event in match three making his official Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON debut!

In the days following the C-1 FUSION LEAGUE finals, Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON sent out a press release that has gotten major play in Iwate, CRIMSON's stronghold, and some in the national news. In the press release, CRIMSON announced the "New Four Pillars of Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON". The original four played a pivotal role in the history of CRIMSON, and with this release, CRIMSON declared that the new four had emerged to lead CRIMSON to it's future. During the Akamatsu saga, the "Four Pillars" became one of the top phrases from Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON, and thus the "New Four Pillars" is getting some national play. In the press release, comparisons were raised between the original four and the new four.
Yuki Nomura ---> Nobuyori Shimizu
- Yuki Nomura arrived in CRIMSON as the leader of HANGUN. Within months he had become the face of Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON and it's most beloved star. Nomura tackled every problem he's ever had in CRIMSON with an undying spirit, and even though he's lost more then he's won, Nomura's never quick trying. Nobuyori Shimizu began CRIMSON as a rookie, the first graduate of the Ryo Suzuki system in CRIMSON and destined to be the new leader of CRIMSON one day. Shimizu became a fantastic tag team wrestler, and one of the most beloved figures in CRIMSON due to never giving up. Shimizu has a history of injuries, but always fights through them and has earned a nickname from some of "Iron Man" due to the fact that he is virtually industructable due to the strength of his heart.
Seiji Ebisawa ---> Akuma Toyota
- Seiji Ebisawa invaded Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON. A note often forgotten. Ebisawa began the star of the Spirit International group that actually destroyed an entire even in their debut. Ebisawa would go on to be arguably the strongest wrestler in CRIMSON history. Two Power Sources, three C-1 title reigns. Ebisawa always walked the tightrope between beloved and reviled, a role he was equipped to play. Never a full good guy. Never a full bad guy. Akuma Toyota invaded Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON. Akuma Toyota was the fourth graduate of the Suzuki system in CRIMSON, and spent years in a nothing tag team. Toyota would turn evil as a member of Rouzeki-GUN leading to a career revival. Toyota betrayed CRIMSON and aligned with Tatsumichi Akamatsu with the intention of taking over CRIMSON. When it failed, Toyota publicly rejected Akamatsu and became his own man. Sometimes beloved, sometimes jeered due to his history. Toyota seems to be straddling the same line Ebisawa was, but with the same unquestionable strength.
Goro Iijima ---> Tenshin Komatsu
- Goro Iijima began his CRIMSON career as a face painted nobody. However, it was all a ruse as Goro Iijima was the instrument that triggered the invasion of Spirit International in 2003. Iijima had intentions to be the top star of the invasion group, but had his spot stolen by Seiji Ebisawa. A slight Iijima never forgave. Iijima bounced around groups, and rankings for years before forming a primitive form of Rouzeki-GUN in 2005. Iijima would ride the group to becoming the top terrorist and "Disorder King" in CRIMSON, capping his career by winning the C-1 Heavyweight Championship through chicanery. Tenshin Komatsu was a rookie, the second of the Suzuki system, but was always placed behind Nobuyori Shimizu. A slight Komatsu has never forgiven. Komatsu would spend months, and years trying to figure out where he belonged. Never quite fitting in anywhere, Komatsu eventually found himself in Rouzeki-GUN under Goro Iijima, becoming almost Iijima's protégé. Komatsu would have a fantastic run as a member, but would leave CRIMSON due to family issues in 2007. Komatsu returned, feeling that CRIMSON had "forgotten him" and with vengeance to gain revenge for not properly mourning his retirement, Komatsu formed LOVE, his own terrorist group to accomplish his goals.
Hachiro Yakuta ---> Takayuki Ariwa
- The hardest comparison to make. Hachiro Yakuta began his CRIMSON career under the name YAKUTA and as the leader of the CRIMSON Seikigun against HANGUN. When Yuki Nomura became the leader of the Seikigun, Hachiro Yakuta turned to the darkside and joined HANGUN. He usurped control of HANGUN and became it's most famous leader. Yakuta would go on to lead HANGUN and other heel factions until 2005 when he left CRIMSON. Despite always being incredibly high ranked, Yakuta never once won a single title or tournament in CRIMSON. Takayuki Ariwa, like Yakuta, began his career under a different path. A young rookie with a power base, Ariwa was finally given his chance to shine in 2007. Ariwa would show off his true personality, a brutal side of him that would cause him to betray his mentors Shimizu and Noguchi to align with Seiji Ebisawa. Eventually, Seiji Ebisawa would ceed his leadership position to Ariwa, causing Ariwa to be the leader of Yankizoku.
After their win, the AT CLUB forced the title presentation ceremony to take place in the backstage area of the Towada Citizen Gymnasium, after fleeing the ring like criminals. Hiroyuki Takano seemed to be in shock after having finally scored a victory over Akuma Toyota, and needed Ariwa to snap him out of it several times.
