One month has passed since the last shred of news regarding Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON, but the silence has broken. President Yuki Nomura announced the first Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON since 10/13/09 alongside C-1 Heavyweight Champion Nobuyori Shimizu and Yankizoku leader Takayuki Ariwa. Shimizu was decked out in a suit with the C-1 Heavyweight Championship proudly on his shoulder, while Ariwa wore tattered jeans and a t-shirt. Despite rumors of the closure of Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON, Nomura announced that despite the "turbulent status of the industry" that CRIMSON had no intentions of closing. However, Nomura did reveal that roughly fifty percent of the Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON sponsors pulled out of the promotion in the wake of the embezzlement scandal that has rocked the industry. As such, Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON spent the month restructuring the company from the ground up to better deal with the costs involved in the day to day operations of the promotion. Roughly twenty five percent of the work force employed by CRIMSON has been released, and several wrestlers have as well. Nomura listed no names of who had been released, but did say that it was almost 20% of the roster.
Despite the grim news, Nomura claimed that 11/30/09 at the Hanamaki Citizen Gymnasium in Iwate would represent a "new period of CRIMSON's development" as an entity. For the first time since 2/19/08 when the BLACKHEARTS and the CRIMSON Seikigun clashed that a five on five series would take place! Nomura called it an "all out confrontation" between the STRONGEST CRIMSON ARMY and Yankizoku. The fifth and final match of the series will be for the C-1 Heavyweight Championship, as Nobuyori Shimizu aims for the first defense of his title reign against Yankizoki leader and Shimizu's former kouhai, Takayuki Ariwa! The two faced off countless times throughout the year, but this will be only the third singles match between the two. On May 20th, Takayuki Ariwa defeated Nobuyori Shimizu in the semi finals of the Power Source tournament. On October 13th, Nobuyori Shimizu defeated Takayuki Ariwa in the semi finals of the C-1 Heavyweight Championship decision bout. This time the two of them will face off for the C-1 Heavyweight Championship itself!
Takayuki Ariwa gave his thoughts first. Ariwa stated that he had "crushed" Shimizu throughout the year, with Shimizu getting lucky in their October. Ariwa remarked that since October of last year, the only championship that had fully eluded Yankizoku was the C-1 Heavyweight Championship, and with his first ever opportunity for the title, he would decisively defeat Shimizu and claim the gold!
C-1 Heavyweight Champion Nobuyori Shimizu retorted, agreeing that his form throughout the year had been less then spectacular. However, Shimizu declared that the true strength of someone is the ability to "power up" when needed, and get the job done. Shimizu informed Ariwa that Ariwa would have to kill him to take away the C-1 Heavyweight Championship, to which Ariwa screamed in reply that he'd not only take the championship, but re-injure Shimizu like the AT CLUB did back in January!
Before things became heated, Yuki Nomura stepped between the two enemies, and one by one introduced the other four matches of the series:
In Match #1 of the CRIMSON STRONGEST ARMY versus Yankizoku series, Keoni Murata takes on Shuji Kawashima of the SCA. Junior-Heavyweight "Ace" Hayato Saigo of SCA takes on Yankizoki's Mikio Tsuruya. The tag partners of the two main event fighters, SCA's Toshiro Noguchi takes on Yankizoku's Hiroyuki Takano. In the fourth match, C-1 Junior-Heavyweight champion Ikuji Royama faces off against Ryoma Inoue with the C-1 Jr. Heavyweight Championship on the line. And the final battle is Nobuyori Shimizu vs. Takayuki Ariwa for the C-1 Heavyweight Championship.
Before Yuki Nomura could wrap up, Takayuki Ariwa suddenly took over. Ariwa announced that he was confident that Yankizoku would not only win the series, but take both championships that if Yankizoku lost the series, Ariwa would DISSOLVE Yankizoku effective immediately!
