Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON held its tribute event for star Junior-Heavyweight Millennium S.K. with an all Junior Heavyweight event. Despite Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON's lack of popularity in Fukuoka, eight hundred and fourteen fans attended the wrestling event / tribute show. Before the event, money raffles were held with prizes being given away that included: Millennium S.K.'s ring jacket, an autographed Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON poster, and a date with Kazuki Takagi that very few female fans seemed overly interested in...Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON allowed donations, and were pleasantly surprised by both the fan's generosity, but also by the generosity of the Pro-Wrestling industry itself, as donations poured in to help S.K. in his trying times.
Millennium S.K. clips were aired throughout the show, highlighting S.K.'s rise to promence as one of the top junior's in Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON. The victory over Shin Kaiju on 12/24/03 at the Miyako 1000 Tokuji Gymnasium that ended Kaiju's monstrous ten month eight defenses reign, aired in clipped form as S.K.'s crowning achievement in his career.
Also throughout the event, video messages were played from some of the biggest names in Pro-Wrestling, FURY and CRIMSON itself. Most were simple get well messages with S.K. being honored by the likes of Kazuma Fujita, Tatsumichi Akamatsu, Akuma Toyota and others; however, some stood out. Hayato Saigo, who could not appear on the event due to Pro-Wrestling FURY J1-MAX obligations, sent in an emotional message. Saigo recanted their history, saying that while they hadn't always been friends, they were generational rivals and had a bond that could never be broken. Pro-Wrestling FURY's ATSUKA also sent in a emotional, yet entertaining message. ATSUKA first heavily complained about the date of the tribute event since he would be unable to appear, going as far as claiming that it was S.K.'s attempt to keep ATSUKA from upstaging him again. ATSUKA then grew indignant as he DEMANDED that Millennium S.K. recover so that they could have their "decisive match" in their feud, before pointing at the camera with a demand that he would not accept any other outcome other then S.K.'s full recovery.
Two retired pro-wrestlers walked back in the ring for the first time in months, as former MILLENNIUM STARS members Natsuo Sakoda and Hanzo Hijiyama had a special five minute exhibition. Both men put on the best show they could, but in the end, neither man could put down the other leading to the time limit draw.
AVENIR'S PREDATORS continued their roll towards a possible PWC Jr. Tag Championship match, as they defeated former MILLENNIUM STARS members Ryoma Inoue and BIG BOY Tomizaki. Both Inoue and Tomizaki had turned on S.K. in the past, and were treated as heavy villians, with the jeering led by S.K. himself at ringside...Kaisen Tiger used S.K.'s Millennium Driver to set up his Bullet Wrath for the three count.
In a rare act of kindness, Yankizoku's Hiroyuki Takano dieted down for the event, to qualify for one night as a Junior-Heavyweight. Takano faced off against Ikuji Royama in a special singles match that could have headlined a different event. Both men went at it furiously with neither giving an inch even in this special singles match with little significance. In the end, Ikuji Royama displayed why he may be the strongest junior in CRIMSON, as he blasted one half of the C-1 Tag Team Champions with a high kick, the move Royama used to defeat S.K. with at GOLDEN CHANCE this year, before blasting Takano in the face with the Sliding Shotei for the three count. After the match, Royama announced that he would "reclaim" the C-1 Junior-Heavyweight Championship from S.K.'s betraying mentor Keoni Murata in honor of S.K., to which S.K. shouted back "Don't hurt the old man too much!" to a round of laughter. Hiroyuki Takano displayed a surprising gentle side, as he claimed he had always admired Millennium S.K.'s attitude, and willingness to "be himself" no matter what people thought of him. Takano bowed towards S.K. before saying that the only time he'd ever wrestle as a junior-heavyweight again would be against S.K. himself.
Millennium S.K.'s closest ally for years headlined the main event teaming with OVERTHROW of Naoki Daishi and Akahito Yamada. S.K. led the Fukuoka crowd in large chants of SLAYER's name much to the surprise of the monster. Their opponents were the LOVE team of the two men who caused S.K.'s injury, Shino Hiriyama and Kazuhiro Okamura along with LOVE's newest junior recruit, the mysterious PHOENIX. ShinoMura earned themselves no friends before the match, as Hiriyama and Okamura refused to apologize for S.K.'s injury, claiming it was HIS fault for wrestling them much to the displeasure of the Fukuoka fans. A microphone was given to S.K., who in his usual sarcastic manner told ShinoMura that he was "sorry" for them having said that, before ordering SLAYER to attack sending SLAYER into a bloodlust of violence on the LOVE enemies! OVERTHROW did their parts in the match, but SLAYER was the center piece as S.K. continually led the crowd in near deafening chants of SLAYER's name causing the monster to unleash hell at all opportunities on LOVE. SLAYER blasted Hiriyama with the Megaton Hammer, the move S.K. taught him, followed by the Zanzai Lariat. However, SLAYER wasn't done yet, as SLAYER climbed to the TOP ROPE before flying off with a makeshift version of S.K.'s signature Millennium Star Crash, crushing Hiriyama under SLAYER's weight! Hiriyama had no answer, giving SLAYER the victory!
For the finale of the night, it came down to Millennium S.K. himself. S.K. climbed into the ring under his own power, while wearing a heavy brace around his neck. S.K. revealed the prognosis of his neck, saying that his broken neck was pretty bad off, but that surgery had been very successful. With all his strength, S.K. belted out that he would NOT retire from this injury, and would aim to make his full return to Pro-Wrestling by the end of the year! The Fukuoka crowd exploded in cheers, but S.K. urged them towards silence. S.K. turned to SLAYER, and with gravity in his voice gave SLAYER a firm order. S.K. told SLAYER to completely DESTROY LOVE not only for what they had done to him, but also for what they had done recently to SLAYER. S.K. placed his hand on SLAYER's head, before telling him that soon they would be a team again, and to make this his only mission until that day. With that, S.K. thanked everyone he could think of for their support, before confidently stating that he would reward their trust and love by coming back bigger and better then ever!
